“A house entirely decorated with pottery? Now that’s something you don’t see every day!” the tourist exclaimed, peering over the edge of the boat. Indeed, right before their eyes, nestled within the heart of Kampong Ayer, stood the Pottery House. Unlike its more traditional neighbors, the Pottery House bursts with a vibrant, almost chaotic charm. This isn’t just a home; it’s an explosion of color and creativity. The Pottery House belongs to Ahmad Hj Timbang, a resident who clearly has a flair for the dramatic. Instead of the usual wood and concrete, his home is adorned with an eclectic collection of flowers and potted plants. They spill from every corner, cascade down the walls, and even threaten to engulf the windows. It’s a spectacle that makes the Pottery House stand out like a beacon in the sprawling water village of Kampong Ayer. Walking along the Kampong Ayer Walking Trail, one can’t help but be captivated by this whimsical sight. It’s a testament to the unique character of this centuries-old water village, where life unfolds at a different pace, and even houses become canvases for personal expression.
