Bangkok Trip 1984

Floating Memories
Along with Lee Kiyao Loo and his wife and Swee Yeong, we had a tour of Thailand particularly to Pattaya, Chiangmai and downtown Bangkok in December 1984.

What I remembered most is stuck in a hotel room in Chiangmai suffering from a bad bout of diarrhea.


Jan Lim-A Distant Past

Bygone Days
I knew this girl when we were staying in SS2,Petaling Jaya.

We were renting out one of our vacant rooms and she answered the advert.

Pretty Thing
In roared a Fiat Sports Car driven by a bearded man called Raymond and this girl.

She told us she worked for Cathay Pacific as a stewardess.

I think life dealt her a mean hand and she took her life in 1984.

The Sad News
It has been close to three decades now since her passing.

I will write more about Jan Lim in another post.

Attending Cheng Siew Ngoh's Wedding


You can see the late Mr. Chen, Mrs Chen and Francis Lai
We went to Malacca to attend Cheng's wedding.

Great lady.

We still keep in touch when we meet for our Chinese New Year lunch or dinner.

The Late Ooi Eng Chor

Buddy Days of Yore
Another great friend of mine.

Ever versatile.

Ultra helpful and most talented.

Passed on in Ipoh a few years ago after he retired of a heart attack.

Those were the Days

All in the Family
From 1986 to 1993 or so, we served in the office of the then Minister of Housing and Local Government.

At Mr and Mrs Chen's house
Besides me, there was Joyce, Mrs, Chen, Cheng, Chen and Amarjit.

Good times
It was a memorable time.

Another shot with the late Mr Chen and Good Old Mrs Chen

My Grandma-Left Me in 1993

Fondest Memories
My memory is fading.

Hopefully not the way my grandma went.

My Granny sans memory
Overtime, she succumbed to Alzheimer's and we did have a tough time to keep her indoors.

She was wont to wander about and not getting home.

She passed on in 1993.

In life, she was a good, hardworking woman.

I adored her.
