Super Memories


My aunt commented on my photos in my facebook today. She asked where's the rest of the Har Par Villa's pictures? The one I was on a tiger ? Oh those pictures were like more than 30yrs old! And she saying she remembers that day ?! I wanted to remember , her words set me thinking really hard for 15 mins. Nothing came to my mind. I only knows that as a chinese descendant & in ultra modern Singapore, I have to bring my kid to this place before they bring it down. Which I did 2 months ago. Brazing the scorching sun , I walked her for 2 hours explaining most of the figurines especially through "Hell" explaining in details why were the punishments meted out.

My efforts to pass on as much of our heritage down as possible before my kid is totally lost in these "Lady GaGa" era. Don't be fool by this cute image. She's now 12 , going into the rebellious state . I prefer this as it reminds me of happier days with your kid.

Total Recall

I'm 36 today , time really does fly...... I could still recall vividly the day I became a policeman at exactly half my age . Hotheaded, arrogant, irresponsible. Wild days huh ?

My life was pretty colourful, women, booze, fights, thank god I didn't land myself in jail. Almost that is! I dun have a childhood most people have. My parents, sad to say, was pretty haywire themselves as I recalled. All the physical abuse from ignorance parents. Though my mum really love me . I've learnt to keep things to myself even till today. I became super rebellious when I was 15, nobody touches me !

I've made many mistakes in this life but thinking back... I dun think I have regrets . My dad as I realized when I was older is a very family man. He doesn't take money seriously. If you need it, you could have it. It was just like in the movies , those doting parents of the leading guy. But not character wise, he was just as hot tempered as me but I think I'm many times worse .

I set this blog to tell what I've learnt all these years & what I'm still trying to learn. About what I saw in people whether on the ugly side or the good side....... Its from people I know I've become a better person & every single one out there is my teacher.
