TV Nostalgia Part 1

Ok, let me take everyone down memory lane again with a new series of TV Nostalgia, this time English TV series.

First off - Hong Kong Phooey! Hong Kong who? You probably ask. Well, my earliest memory of this cartoon series was probably around Primary 2 or Primary 3.





Anyone else remember this show?

Makan Meet 3 in Singapore

The evening was 31st October 2009. According to the locals, Singapore does not usually rain that hard nor thunder that loud. It was practically raining cats & dogs when Louis picked me up at around 7pm, with Mike and Alice in the car too. And the thunder and lightning was no less spectacular. STILL, the die-hard Sarawakians in Spore went ahead with the meet-up at Alexandra Village for Hongkong Street Food (you all will have to correct me if this part is wrong!).

And the results of the evening? The photos speak for themselves.

Eleu came much later, he was attending some military course, but made it all the way to meet us at almost 9.30pm....thanks to Carol, he had a beautifully arranged plate of left-overs to devour into, hehehe.

Group photo, with Eng Soon's family joining us. Carol was taking the snap.

Don't have any photos of the dishes we had cos I forgot to bring my camera, in the excitement of rushing out of my brother-in-law's apartment as soon as Louis called. Could have kicked myself for that. But the food was excellent. If you've never tried bitter gourd with pork ribs, you better fly to Spore, loved it!

Topics of the evening? Too many to mention! But the one that stood out most was Eng Soon's story of TV3 and Kapit....he's now officially the ambassador for Kapit in matters related to the "Akan Datang" case of TV3! Spore/Msia/Sarawak politics, children's education, tax, speeding fines, school days, how to address relatives in foochow (ku-ku & ka-ka), Eleu's "pai-kia" days in SHS, and many more. You name it, we talked about it.

We left the open-spaced restaurant at about 11pm and moved on to McD. Some had gone home already, it was just the 7 of us - Louis, Mike, Chin Hion, Albert, Eleu, Carol & myself. Some more stories till 1am+....I reached the apartment at 2am....luckily didn't have to sleep at the balcony.

A BIG thank you to Louis for getting everyone together to meet. And he's challeged me to do the same if anyone of them Swak-bred-half-Sporean-citizens drop by in Kuching for a visit. So boys & girls in Kuching, plee....aa....se response when your duty calls for you.

p/s it's called Makan Meet 3 cos it's the 3rd meet for our friends in Sg....but then they recalled it might have been the 4th meet....whatever!
