Back to the 80ies-Kuantan

I have many fond memories of the eighties
where i finished my studies and move on to join the workforce.
Here are some old photos that i scanned from my old album,
photos taken with a Nikon FG SLR camera,
my second one after the first one a Ricoh KR5 was stolen.
After 30 years most of these color photos have faded
especially the earlier ones on Fuji paper
except the last one of the Vietnamese boat
with Kodak paper which still maintained the color it once was 30 years ago.
Talking about quality paper!

which have since been replaced by traffic lights.

The eighties also saw the opening of the biggest and tallest shopping complex in the east coast
of Malaysia,the 28 storey Teruntum Complex,
here are some shots taken from the roof.
The old bus station can be seen by the riverside.

Eighties was also the era of the Vietnamese Boat People
