I came i saw i come i see. Sunday, July 26, 2015. 1965 - journey south - lion city. On the first travel to Singapore, it was in standard two. As it was a big event for a boy of eight, after 50 years has gone by, glimpses of the events on trip were still vivid. The date written at the back of the photographs helped pinpoint the trip to the month of May. As I recalled this conversation of the adults, I had thought that the trip was made post August 1965. The event for the trip was that 5. The members trave...

I came i saw i come i see. Thursday, April 26, 2012. Our grandma - born in the dragon year. When I was small, we used to hear that Granda was born in the year of the dragon. And being a dragon lady, she had a relatively blessed life compared with her peers. And this perhaps further reinforced the myth of mystical blessing of those born in the dragon year. This would be the 120. Anniversary of her birth in 1892. She was being one of the earliest migrant to this town. There were two photographs of grandpa&...

I came i saw i come i see. Sunday, September 28, 2014. 萬華百年校慶 - Wan Hua School Centennial -. 剧台上打着布条‘ 第十四届高小毕业典礼’，那位穿着白色长袖衬衫女扮男生是大姐。和她同年一起在万华小学读书有位表姐。她站在舞台剧照片下面张照片的左二，咱们叫她丽姐，是三姑母的第二女儿。在这张照片大姐是站在左三，笑嘻嘻的面向着右边。 念小学一年级时有一天家人急着来到学校带大姐和丽姐赶回家去， 因为二伯婆去世了。那个年头因该是一九五三年。 矩形的学校位置于市镇北区，正门面对着戏院街头，后院一直延展到已近一百二十多年的观音庙的后方。 咱们老家靠近校园的后院。越过大马路靠着观音庙旁边的一条小径路，两三步脚就是校园右边的后门。这个门很方便居住在南区的学生，早晚上下班。他们从南区居住的家园过了马路，路过咱们的老宅就可通过着个后门往进校园。 回想起来万华校学和咱们家族是在万里望开埠一起成长的。妈妈的小学，如果没记错是 民德学堂. 8216;草原之夜’， 那‘来来来. 群体的‘饮胜’声音随着随而着来。 In the photographs...

I came i saw i come i see. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Expo 2010 shanghai – 万国来泸庆世博. This book – was perhaps the last of the many souvenir books published for the World Expo2101, Shanghai from May to Oct. The first edition was published in Oct 2010, the last month of the Expo. After a 5 long month there were 73milllion visitors. On the surface of it – this book seems anachronistic for this world event. The penta-hepta- syllabic style poem published in this book reached its maturity and was widely popular...

I came i saw i come i see. Saturday, July 09, 2011. 老照片 –arabian garden – 星洲阿拉伯花园. For a while I was wondering where this garden was.

I came i saw i come i see. Monday, October 10, 2011. A hundred years hence - once a ROCer. This passport was issued by the Republic of China consulate in Ipoh dated 20Oct 1948. It was the 37th year of the Republic of China. The in-country consul was Ibrahim TY Ma. The fact that there was a ROC consulate in town was perhaps another testimony of the importance of Ipoh in the then British Malaya. With the opening of tin mining industry and there came huge migrant Chinese population. From being a citizen of ...

I came i saw i come i see. Friday, December 30, 2011. 松口 - tsungkeau where the heart was -. Perhaps because it is deeply imprinted in the. Psyche – there is a constant draw to this ancestral land. Grandpa ventured forth to the new world, starting his journey from this river in the early 1900’s. He was probably in his late teens. On his final journey. To his homeland - he was already in his mid 60’s. Was already a bustling river port that rivaled. The capital town of 嘉应州. 8211; the Jiaying District - in.
