Banda Hilir

Banda Hilir (the word Banda spelt without 'r' as in 'Bandar' which means Town) a nice town to work and live. I moved here Feb 2007 from Kuala Lumpur as a single man leaving behind my beautiful wife Shairin and a handsome young man, Farhan and a little cute daughter, Hanna in clouded city of Kuala Lumpur.

Never in my mind to apply for a permanent Melaka Resident. It just happened unplanned during my first visit to Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall during 2006 December School Holidays when I was on Road Tour promoting my business at Jasin Stadium. Being a Nomad, I had to move from place to place whenever I saw a dollar sign floating in the air.

Teluk Intan, Shah Alam, Lumut just to name a few. In fact that's all I think... :) meeting people and ladies of the world were just part of our life. It's fun but not to be without my children and wife (the one and OnLy....hahahahahah..). We used to travel a lot before exploring every single major and slip roads of Peninsular Malaysia, from the very South to the very North as far as our Citroen ZX permitted to drive-in.

So, life unsettled having "fatherless children" I decided to look for something concrete as the Petronas Twin Tower evolving from unknown world for good. I awarded Banda Hilir as the winner after few negotiations with a nice land lady for a possible flexible 2+1 small business lot rental agreement.

Click here and there, here I am now in Banda Hilir, Melaka (some spell it as Malacca). At time of writing just being awarded as Historical City by UNESCO. None is easy in life! With a little bit of knowledge, money, courage, interest (not in term of convensional banking which is forbidden in Islam, :)) and family and friends' support, I continue my business legacy selling crystals and gemstones. Venturing slowly into gold and diamond.

HANNAMORI is my 'unregistered Trade Mark' with colourful wild butterfly "stationerily" flies over 'I'. Hanna is our daughter, a more Japanese than Malay in look. Big eyes, round face a talkative little young lady and like to shout whenever she feel unsaved by her brother, Farhan. As a 'Japanese' I wanted it to sound like Japanese. So I gave a call to my old friend who studied in Japan, married to Tall Japanese lady and even work for a Japanese Company just to know what "Mori" means. Thus the combined word simply means Flower in a Jungle or Jungle Flower. Whatever it is, that the name you have to look for whenever you come visiting Melaka @ Melaka Megamall, Banda Hilir.
