On a small island formed at the turn of the river Melaka, I saw some beautiful houses in pistachio green with red slanted roofs. Our guide sensed our curiosity and took us to visit Sentosa Villa, a traditional Malay house. Almost 100 years old and still managed by the lady of the house. Haji Fatima is a few years younger than the house that was built by her grandfather. She takes us around the house and points to various things around the house.
