LGSS Cooking Apron

Tuesday, 22 September 2009

Thanks, Sha, for the pictures. And thank you for your permission to blog them.

I am glad you kept the apron. It is pretty. I have forgotten about it until you mentioned. Did we have cooking class in Form 4 and 5? I can't remember. I remembered cooking Asam Ikan Pedas and I remembered Mrs. Chin as our cooking teacher. But I don't think I would know her if I see in public. It is too long ago. Can you?


Sure looks like a teenager, back in our school kitchen!

We had a cap, didn't we?

1971 Form V School Leavers' Campaign

Saturday, 1 August 2009

More of the old pictures that I have scanned. 38 years ago, the Form V School Leavers' Campaign introduced to us the companies and the places we could seek employment. 38 years later, some of us have retired. Some are already grandparents! Enjoy the pictures and see how youthful you looked!











I remembered before but I forgot now. I can't remembered all the names: Ismawi, Angela, ?????, Irene and Intai.

Where are our Former Classmates and Form Teachers?

Saturday, 1 August 2009

Where are my former classmates and Form teachers? I am sure I have walked/passed some of them on the street for not recognising them. Except for those that I mingled with, most of the time during school days, and kept in contact since leaving school, I can't even remember the others. I wouldn't apologise if I have walked/passed you because if you had recognise me you would have greeted me!

I thought I upload these old pictures in my blog and maybe someone would recognise himself/herself here!! Thank God for the invention of scanner to scan our old non-digital pictures. For those who are not familiar with using the blog, just click on the picture to enlarge it on your screen. Enjoy looking at yourself and reminiscing your teenage years.

I know our Form IC teacher, William Kok, have passed away.

The Other Way from Lutong to Miri

Tuesday, 28 July 2009

Travelled on this bridge countless times but this is the first picture I have taken of the Piasau bridge. It is the other bridge that links Lutong to Miri. Interestingly I found a blog post about the historical origin of this landmark. Can anyone tell me when is the bridge originally built?

Another road to Krokop, Miri.

Classmates Meet

Saturday, 18 July 2009

Classmates meet again! Actually I felt like calling Chew and tell him that I was not going. I am glad I didn't. I believe there were times in our lives when we just don't feel like doing this or that but were thankful when we didn't follow that negative feeling. Of course, there were times when we are grateful that we followed our feelings. There are feelings of not wanting to do things and there are feelings that we need to do this or that. In my religious belief we call that the bad and the good spirit.

In tonight's case, it was my bad spirit telling me not to go. It is just like the feeling of not wanting to pray, to go to the sacrament meeting, visiting our families or just merely calling or visiting our friends. It was definitely not the good spirit because I was not going to rob a bank.

I know there are 'friends' who will never call, visit or write but that is okay. They are just not that kind of people. It is sad to hear some people said that they are lonely because their friends don't make contact with them. It makes me happy to hear when they said they are grateful for my visits. It makes me feel good to know that I can help to uplift some spirits in this way.

Classmates, especially when you have been with them for years, are not just ordinary friends. We have sat in the same classroom, played together and saw each other at least 5 days a week. We didn't end up marrying each other but we know and understand each other and are comfortable in each other's presence, like brothers and sisters, accepting each other's increasing greying hair, wrinkles, dry and sagging skin.

Irene and Catherine


Siew Kuan, Peggy & Chew


Jamilah & Chee Shak


Fung Yin, Angela, Irene & Lily

End of the evening's meet. We will see each other again.

Farewell Sister Clark

Saturday, 18 July 2009

Sister Clark had been transferred. The girls wanted to cook for the sisters missionaries at my house. I had no problem with that! I didn't have to cook for a change. Someone is going to cook! I just join in the meal.

I didn't try the Buah Salak (snake fruit) that they brought for the sisters missionaries to eat.


Lydia stir-fried while Sister Lim helped with the soup.


What can I say? Just that these young ladies are cute and fun loving: Lyanne, Lydia, Leonora, Sister Clark and Sister Lim




The missionaries: ex Sister Suling and ex Sister Liew, Sister Lim and Sister Clark

Meow

Tuesday, 14 July 2009

The female-mother cat does not have a name so I will call her "Meow". We were sitting in a row - Priscilla, Lyanne and myself. Meow jumped to my place but walked passed me and went up to Lyanne's lap and laid there.

This is the first time Lyanne & I have seen this cat. Lyanne is an animal lover and Meow must have sensed that. I don't care as much for cats as I care for dogs.

Clothes, Ice Kacang & Roti Canai

Monday, 13 July 2009

Tailoring - Agatha has been in this business for many many years. Because she is my friend, I would go to her if I need any work done on my clothes so I can help her with her earnings. This day she refused to take any money from me for some finishings on skirts. I guess I would do the same if we exchange places.

Ice Kacang/cendol vendor - Lydia decided to be her own boss and started selling ice kacang/cendol about 6 months ago. Ice kacang/cendo is so cool and refreshing on a hot day!

Last but not least, Roti Canai - Mahsuri is happy preparing roti canai at the shop she works
