masa aku melawat abbottabad hari tuh, terperasan yang james abbott ni lah yang membuka abbottabad
tu la sebabnya nama town ni diberi nama sempena dengan nama dia abbot+abad. abad = place
aku suka dengan town abbottabad neh sebab dikelililingi dengan kehijauan
winter tahun 2007 siap salji turun lagi betul2 kat town
the late sir james abbott ada tulis poem pasal abbottabad kat bawah neh
source here ok
I remember the day when I first came here
And smelt the sweet Abbottabad airThe trees and ground covered with snow
Gave us indeed a brilliant white glowTo me place seemed like a dream
And far ran a lonesome streamThe wind hissed as if welcoming us
The pine swayed creating a lot of fussAnd the tiny cuckoo sang it away
A song very melodious and gayI adored the place from the first sight
And was happy that my coming here was rightAnd eight good years here passed very soon
And we leave our perhaps on a sunny dayOh! Abbottabad we are leaving you now
To your natural beauty do I bowPerhaps your wind’s sound will never reach my ear
My gift for you is a tearI bid you farewell with a heavy heart
Never from my mind will your memories thwart
