Can you imagine....Father's Day today was spent not with the family - that'll have to wait till this weekend with the daughter comes back from Kuala Lumpur for a visit - but with my wife at the other side of Penang island. The Balik Pulau side of the island, that is. We joined some other members of The Old Frees' Association at the annual durian party. As we had all missed two years of it due to the pandemic, this year's durian feast was a joyous occasion for everyone to get together at the Anjong Indah lookout point along the Tun Sardon Road that cuts across the island.

| Heralding the arrival of our durian, plus some other fruits - rambutan, langsat and chempedak |
 |
| Each group of about 10 people were allotted a basketful to eat till our hearts' delight. No gold medal Musang King or Black Thorn among them, but there were plentiful of other varieties. Frankly, quality could have been better but who's actually complaining? Not us! |
 |
| After a stage, there was more chatting than eating. People were moving around to meet up with their old friends |
 |
| Myself bumping into Anwar Fazal and Li Jin Heng. |
 |
| From my Old Frees Chess Circle, along came Ooi Peng Seng, Tan Kai Ming and Liong Chian Min |
 |
| And finally, these two boys who had attended the PFS Leadership workshops in the past years: Wong Jing Wen and Wong Zi Khai. |
