Kalo Gua Sukses, Lu Pun Sama Juga

This Thursday morning started of badly. To top it all, I did not catch my breakfast. The above song is an ala Muslim rendition, sung in Javanese. Though I am a Christian, I feel strongly we should not shut out other religions. Who dares claim, "My religion is the true one and the others are "rapah-rapah" or garden refuse. In the realm of humanity we are all brothers and sisters with its origins from the same viz, from our Creator.

Back to the rural countryside, the above two videos are not a diorama, just a depiction  of the rural heartland of the Sundanese in West Jawa. I would skip the exhaustic narrative of these videos as they are all to be found in books and the Internet

My images of Kuala Lumpur are busy narrow roads with queer names, and not Malay names. The time period can be considered as the evolution of the paleolithic age to the now modernitic age of the new Kuala Lumpur.

I did not stay long in Malaysia and after my 2-year matriculation course I headed overseas. But for the short period in time, I managed to gather enough images of Kuala Lumpur life and also my life at school that remain steadfast in my memory till the day I die. Kuala Lumpur was much less hotter then, than now. I remember the heavy rain and frequent thunderstorms that occur on an almost daily basis. The days were coolish and the nights even colder.

I made a few Malaysian friends when we were studying in Upper 6B1 at VI. Their names in random order are

Chim Kar Choon
Wong Seng Choy
Dr.Tan Beng Siang
Dr.Kwan Poh Woh
Dr.Mac Kean Boon
Dr.Sarmukh Singh
Jaspal Singh
Dr.Tan Kai Chah
Dr.TA Mohan
Dr.Teoh Siang Chin
Liew Fah Choong

Since my departure from KL, I had liased with Dr.Tan Beng Siang once before he returned to London. As for the rest, I do not know where they are. My efforts to trace them for the last two years turned up nothing. I have heard about the reunion dinners and such other dinners organized by the old boys association (VIOBA in short) but in my condition, the doctor has strictly prohibited me from going to such functions. So I am stuck where I am. I looked Facebook and Twitter, but no such luck, everything turned up blank. I have not the single clue as to whether they are alive or dead.

Well let's see what tomorrow will turn up.
