The painters are now finished and all the scaffolding is gone. The color of the roof is called coconut shell brown. It reminds me of a Malaysian saying "like a frog under a coconut shell." It describes a person who hasn't seen or experienced much. So here we are, living under a coconut shell in Japan!
P.S. Little Brother thinks the roof looks purple. It does look different at different times of the day.

Hi, Hana.
ReplyDeleteI lived in P.J. (Petaling Jaya) and worked in Shah Alam from 1985-1987. I haven't gone back. I'm sure it has changed a lot!
