Continued from Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Sungkai.

Di bahagian lain Sungkai saya terlihat rumah besar ini.

At a different part of Sungkai I caught sight of this big house.

Rekabentuknya agak menarik terutama bentuk seperti lidah terlujur di sudut bumbung.

Its shape and design is rather interesting especially the shapes like hanging tounges at the corners of the roof.

Sayangnya ia tidak lagi berpenghuni. Nampaknya ia rumah tinggal.

What a pity it is no more occupied. Looks like it is an abandoned house.

Semoga ia tidak diabaikan begitu sahaja.

May it not be neglected just like that.

Kerana rumah ini ada potensi untuk dijadikan satu bangunan warisan.

For this house has the potential to be turn into a heritage building.

OK. Ini pula cerita lain.
OK. This in turn is a different story.

Siang tadi saya telah pergi ke Sungkai, Perak lalu singgah di masjid ini.
During the day I went to Sungkai, Perak and stopped at this mosque.

Telah berapa lama saya menyimpan hajat untuk mengenengahkannya dalam blogspot tapi baru kali ini dibuat.

It has been a while since I harbour a wish to feature it in my blogspot but it is only this time it is finally done.

Saya telah banyak kali lalu di hadapan masjid tetapi selalunya untuk berkejar ke tempat lain.

I have many times passed in front of this mosque but often in a rush to other places.

Masjid ini lebih cantik dilihat dari bahagian hadapan. Pandangan yang sama boleh dilihat dari tepi jalan besar.

This mosque is more beautiful when seen from the front. The same view could be seen from besides the main road.

Sekarang biar kita lihat lebih dekat. Pandangan sisi kiri.

Now let us have a closer look. View from the left side.

Pandangan ke pintu masuk utama.

Sebenarnya saya terjumpa madrasah @ surau tadi ketika hendak mencari sebuah makam. Actually I came across the madrasah (religious school) @ surau (small praying hall) just now as I was trying to look for a tomb.

Ia terletak di satu kawasan terpencil di Kampung Kesang Tasek, daerah Ledang, Johor di mana boleh kelihatan beberapa buah kubur.

It is located at a secluded area at Kampung Kesang Tasek, district of Ledang, Johor where could be seen a number of graves.

Yang dicari adalah makam utama ini.
The one being looked out for is this main tomb.

Ia milik seorang pahlawan yang dikenali sebagai Tok Laji, hidup abad ke 18 Masihi.

It belong to a warrior known as Tok Laji, living in the 18th century AD.

Mari lihat lebih dekat.
Let us have a closer look.

Makam Tok Laji ditanda oleh dua batu nesan ini. Yang di bawah adalah makam pengasuhnya...
The tomb of Tok Laji is marked by this two gravestones. The one below is the tomb of his caretaker...

Di luar pula terdapat makam isterinya, katanya seorang kerabat diraja Bugis.

Outside in turn lies the tomb of his wife, said to be a member of the Bugis royalty.

Petang itu saya telah pergi ke satu bahagian sempadan Melaka-Johor lalu terlihat satu bangunan seperti masjid kecil.

That afternoon I went to a section of the Melaka-Johor building and saw a building which looks like a small mosque.

Papantanda yang ada menyebutnya sebagai Madrasah Kampung Tasek, Sungai Rambai, Melaka.

The signboard available mentions it as Madrasah (religious school) of Kampung Tasek, Sungai Rambai, Melaka.

Tetapi apabila melihat ke dalam ternyata ia sebuah surau. Untuk makluman ini adalah artikel ke 515 di blogspot ini.

But I when looked inside it is apparent it is a surau (small praying hall). For information this is the 515th article in this blogspot.
