A very busy day for me yesterday. First, it was a timsum breakfast with some of my ex-colleagues from Ban Hin Lee Bank. Incidentally, we all live on mainland Province Wellesley, which makes it easier for us to get together. So we spent something like two hours there at the timsum shop, together with a long-time former customer of the Bukit Mertajam branch of the bank. Mr Hor is his name, and he is 82 years old (or young).
Then later in the day, I drove out to The Old Frees' Association for a Chinese New Year dinner with my old schoolmates. Another feisty occasion with flowing beer and wine. Naturally, enjoyed myself a lot too with my old mates. Curiously enough, some other schoolmates were also having a CNY dinner in Kuala Lumpur.
