Celebrating Uncle Ng’s 90th Birthday Anniversary

Sun 2020/01/05

Uncle Ng is the most happy person tonight. Beside his family members about 20 friends and residents from his PUJ 7 Taiji Qigong group came out in full force to celebrate his 90th anniversary birthday.

Just like the gold ingots which symbolise prosperity and longevity and never loose their shine may Uncle Ng continue to be blessed with good health, happiness, with lots of friends and longevity far into his golden years.

Roti Bulat

Restoran 22. Fri 2019/08/23 One day, while eating roti bakar, I saw a customer ordered a type of round bun. Out of curiosity, I asked the waiter the name of the food that the customer was eating. "Roti Bulat," the Indonesian waiter said. Remembering that particular conversation with the waiter, today I ordered "Roti Bulat" instead of the usual roti bakar just for the experience of trying something new. "Steamed atau bakar?" the waiter asked me back. "Bakar". It turned out that toasted roti bulat is a burger-style sweet bun stuffed with kaya filling. If I had known, I would have asked for margarine filling or plain instead of the kaya filling, because the bun itself is already sweet tasting.

Uncle Ng sent me lots of photos

Fri 2019/08/23

Don't know what has inspired Uncle Ng to do it. I just received via Whatsapp 32 pictures of his 10-day Australia holiday in March 2018. Maybe it was something I casually mentioned over breakfast with him this morning about sharing pics with others of his upcoming visit to Lombok, Indonesia

How do I know for sure the pics are about his Australia holiday? I know because I was the driver who dropped him and his brother off at the international departure hall of KLIA on March 9 2018, had a photo to record the event. and even wrote a FB story on it. (See the black and white photo insert in the harbour bridge photo). I was also impressed that for a 10-day holiday Uncle Ng carried so little luggage, just a backpack and a hand-held bag.

On that day the two brothers were rushing to the airport to catch a plane bound for Sydney. I also remember that he did not sent out any pics of his holiday because at that time he didn't know how to upload pictures to Facebook and Whatsapp and just learning how to operate his newly acquired smartphone.

Uncle Ng

Fri 2019/08/23

Today over breakfast Uncle Ng regaled me with a glowing account of his last visit to Penang with his family members, including showing me pictures of the places he had visited and the food he had eaten. Most of the places eg Penang Hill and Chew Jetty and the food eg Air Itam laksa and fried oyster that he described, I could relate to because I had experienced them myself before. However, as each person's experience is different and unique to him only, I piled him with questions as he told me the story of his Penang adventure. No matter how familiar you are with a subject matter, if you listen intently to the narrative of the story teller without judgement and presumption you can always learn something new. For example Uncle Ng mentioned about a tunnel somewhere on the railway track up Penang hill and even showed me a picture of the tunnel. I don't recall the coach passing through a tunnel on my last visit to Penang hill in 2016, or maybe it did and I have forgotten about it. So the next time I go to Penang, I will remember to look out for the tunnel.
