How I Look Like As A Student

I was clearing my drawers and found my student cards ... good old days as an overseas student in Melbourne.


Here they are and try to contain your laughter......ha....ha....

First Year at RMIT - 1976, I think this is the longest hair I had.... looks like a poodle dog....?

Second Year at RMIT - 1977, more clean cut...?

Back to long hair again...must be the cold weather there...ha...ha......

Those were the days....... sweet memories.....

Cheng Beng in Spore - 2011

We went for Cheng Beng in Spore to pay respects to my father-in-law in the temple in Bishan area.

The temple is much bigger and better organised than the one we went to in Penang;eg. more spacious and tables including parking space too.

Trip to Penang - Cheng Beng April 2011

My family and I flew back to Penang to visit my parents and also for Cheng Beng.

It was the first time that Jas went for Cheng Beng in Penang so it should have been a good experience for him.

I also managed to catch up with brother Charles, who was also back for a visit from Melbourne, and our cousins from Taiping too.

Here are photos taken during the trip :

Chinese New Year - Reunion Dinner 2011

We have a simple steamboat dinner for our own reunion dinner at our own home on the eve of Chinese New Year.

A weekend ago, we have another reunion lunch with my spouse's relatives at my mother-in-law's home. It was a pot luck arrangement.

Here is a photo of Jason catching up with his 2 cousins during the re-union lunch.

Silver Wedding Anniversary

My wife and I just celebrated 25 years of marriage, a Silver Wedding Anniversary!

25 years ago, we were a happy go lucky and career minded young couple.

Now, happily married with one teenage son and an old beagle dog......ha..ha..

We started our marriage life in a condominium and now living in an intermediate terrace house.

Naturally, marraige life has its ups and downs and all sort of challenges too but we manage to survive all of them and we are pretty happy with our life today.

Though recently, the newspaper reported that many married copules said that given a second chance, they would not have married their current spouse.

Well, I will marry my current spouse without any doubts or second thoughts..!

So a Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary to My WIFE & I..!

Happy New Year - 2011

A decade just flew by and time really flies......!

In the last 10 ten years, I saw my only son graduated from Primary school to secondary school and now in Polytechnic for a 3 years diploma course.

I was retrenched after working for 18 years in a local bank but managed to continue working a few more jobs before I retired from the commercial sector.

I explored opportunities in the Internet world and made some small money so the business model is proven and I will continue pursuing it in the coming years.

I am happy that I managed to work as a Lecturer in Temasek Polytechnic as it was my ambition to teach and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I am also glad that I fulfilled my parents wishes or requests. I took my father to visit China and I organised a one big family reunion with my immediate relatives in Penang; commissioned a photographer to take lots of family photos during the gathering in the hotel.

My dear wife also retired recently and has found an exciting life outside work with her new found girlfriends and her hobbies like gardening and calligraphy writing.

We are happy and we also managed to survive without having a maid for a year already.

Jean returned to Philippines after working for us for 12 years and I must give her some credit for helping us bring up Jason too especially during the early childhood days.

Jack, our Beagle, is still going strong and is going to be 13 this year.

Well, I think I could not ask for more other than good health and safety for the family in the coming years.

Wishing All of You A Very Happy New Year in 2011......!
