Mellow Yellow: Kelabit Dance

My  beautiful sister in law, Elley, dancing her traditional Kelabit dance on her wedding day. Look her exquisite and sequinned outfit. Her daughter Ruth is now in Drama school. They must have artistic genes.

Posted this for my new friend Dora Leong who is now dancing a similar dance.

ABC: Letter F for Future,

I was taken to a place,
What I saw was a vast piece of empty field.
Why I ask?
It is funny, a good piece of prime property left to waste.

The frustrated people tell me,
It was for the future of the land.
For the future of the children,
A big Educational institution was planned.

The people ask,
How long is the future generation going to wait?
It was full of promises,
They are just fabricated lies

I used to read a fairy tale to my kids,
A promise is a promise,
A promise to a frog is the same as a promise to a human.
Don't ever fail to keep your promise.

Photohunt: Can

When in Sibu, Sarawak, East Malaysia, you CAN.

Yes, you CAN take photos of my Opps Kopitam. My cousin Ngieng Chai Wen tells me.  You CAN get Western, Malay and Foochow specialties.

 Cousin Chai Wen says, Yes, you CAN snap my photo though I am really busy.

 The delicious coffee is from Kluang, West Malaysia.

 You Can bring my mum to eat here, even though Mum's the best cook in the whole wide world.

 You CAN even photograph where I work, though many places won't let you.
For my Save the world meme, Chai Wen uses an empty egg carton for heat insulation. Paki paki for recycling and reuse.

You CAN even get the traditional Foochow wine and chicken noodles. For serving traditional food, Thank you for keeping our culture alive.

 You can have alfresco dining. There are lots of tables.

 If you are Sibu born, and crave for the Foochow Kompia, you CAN find them here.

 You CAN even poke your nose where my friends cook.

 You CAN find us next to Air Asia and Maxis. Opposite the library.  No 38 Jalan Keranji, Sibu.

Weekend reflections: Doctor's clinic

MIC KEY MOUSE,

This Dr Herman Loi, paediatrician, is one children doctor who knows his patients. Which child doesn't love Mickey Mouse?

Dr Loi is part of the Rejang Medical Centre. I do not know him, but I know his parents. 

His mum, Ling Teck Chung, did not know that I held a torch to her, the same way I held my torch to my other friend Chang Yi. Both of them were in the most senior level of high school, Methodist Secondary School. I just started school as a 13 year old. They were prefects and often up on the school stage. When they left school, I never saw them again, but I didn't forget. Now she is my Facebook friend.

His Dad, Mr. Loi came to teach in Kai Chung school after I left. I didn't get to become his colleague, via other Kai Chung friends, He is also my Facebook friend. Mr. Loi has finished with books with school students. But if memory serves me right, he is doing the books of Dr. Loi and is his manager.

No body corrected me when I used the Chinese phrase, Giao Zi Yew Fung,  so I use it here again, which means you are successful in teaching your children.

Photo taken on the evening of the 7/7/ reunion. (Mr. Loi in the pink shirt, and Mrs. Loi in the purple shirt) Some of the ex teachers including me.

ABC: Letter E for Emergency

In an Emergency, you want to  know there are ambulances available, In the medical centre, there are nurses, operating staff and the doctors.

In real life, I had this scenario when my second daughter was born. The ambulance costed me $60. She was born 3 weeks earlier while I was still at work.

It would have been reassuring if my student Dr Peter Tang Ing Bing was there to deliver my baby. But I had my babies in New Zealand.  Peter's Rejang Medical centre is in Sibu, the town where I was born.
