Demise of a Great Politician

Y.A.Bhg. Tun Dr. Lim Chong Eu passed away last night (24 November 2010). I had an opportunity to talk to him when I was conducting my BA (Hons) research entitled “Kesan Pergantungan Saluran Komunikasi Dalam Pembentukan Imej Calon Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang” in Dewan Seri Pinang 20 years back.

The late Tun Dr. Lim spoke to me twice on 11 October 1990, "Young man, it is not a right time for you to do a research here..." and "We have experienced all these... I think Kit Siang will endorse you..." (recorded in my unpublished thesis, Lampiran IX, hlm. 6).

Work and Relax

Joon Ling and I had earlier planned to work on her revised Maters proposal at UKM library this morning. We postponed to afternoon due to a visit by a big donor of SJK(C) Serdang Baru 2.

I accompanied Joon Ling to UKM library after lunch. We worked until the library closed at 5.00pm. Subsequently, we went to Putrajaya Boat Club (to be an affiliate of Putrajaya Lake Club). We enjoyed the panoramic lake view with boating activities and had our dinner.

What else should we say – after a hard work on Sunday we need to relax…

2nd Visit to Putrajaya Lake Club

November 4th was the big day of Zi Yi. After schooling in SJK(C) Serdang Baru 2 for six years, he officially graduated from the school and had to prepare for secondary education. We, the whole family comprising myself, Joon Ling, Yun Yao and Yun Xun showed our undivided support and attended the graduation since early morning.

After the graduation ceremony, we went to Puchong to have “Dim Sum” for our lunch. We enjoyed the authentic Cantonese food and Chinese tea so much. To me, nothing can be more important than this kind of family reunion.

The celebration did not end there. We insisted to have my mother-in-law to have dinner outside our home the following day. We had decided to make the 2nd Visit to Putrajaya Lake Club. Zi Yi went for swimming prior to the dinner. It was another round of our family reunion. We are looking forwards to have more like this…
