I must let him know that we are in touch. <br /><br />I am sorry to hear about your Grand Uncle's tragic end. Truck drivers have always been ruthless (partly because they drive a big vehicle and partly because the road is really bad).<br /><br />I am sure Miss Wong must have dreaded going to difficult classes. I had great pains in my heart and head when I headed for lower end classes with my poor BM for a few years until I went to the Teachers' College where I taught only English. But don't worry she had a heart of gold.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-52758892327940003602009-12-16T18:07:54.482+08:002009-12-16T18:07:54.482+08:00My two "knitter" friends:

He was quite small in stature.<br /><br />Robert Lai, he was in the police. He was also in the scouts. In 1977, my mum's uncle Kong was killed tragically in a truck v his car. Robert was the investigating police. He kept saying," the impact was so great. Quite a big news then, because my grand uncle was head man in Durin, and a SRDC counciler.<br /><br />Poor Miss Wong, I really felt sorry for her, as we were from the English medium. Some of us esp me, struggled with our Chinese. She must have dreaded coming to our class.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-48529208202658953322009-12-16T01:04:58.756+08:002009-12-16T01:04:58.756+08:00The TWO famous boys taught by Miss Mamora are Chen...The TWO famous boys taught by Miss Mamora are Cheng Hua Kong and Tracey Mamora.

Poor her. In those days the three ladies suffered a great deal during the "transitional" period of changing the mediums of teaching. It was very much the management's decision and the three were kept on. These gems contributed a great deal to the fabric of the society of Sibu in fact by "modelling".<br /><br />I really enjoy the Chek Dieu in your class. Reminds me of how many teachers struggled with BM at the beginning.<br /><br />Knitting is such an important skill! I do admire people who can knit!Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-15635874105190075622009-12-16T00:52:54.055+08:002009-12-16T00:52:54.055+08:00Dear Ann

Hence the first batch of your father's students remained close to him all his life.<br /><br />This kind of closeness is not easy to find nowadays when social distance in various kinds come into play. Values and expectations have changed. Even the quality of friendship also depends on certain factors! However this is just a general comment and it may not apply to every one.<br /><br />What was significant was your father was one of the earliest Chinese to rise in the Education Department of Sarawak and he was a versatile and able educator and administrator.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-73914604239854938782009-12-14T05:00:57.598+08:002009-12-14T05:00:57.598+08:00sorry typo error in last comment.

You can imagine how hilarious it was.<br /><br />And yes, we had two boys in the Domestic Science class. The boys normally do wood work, but that year, there was a surplus of two boys. These two boys volunteered because they thought they would be learning cookery from Miss Mamora.<br /><br />Poor boys, not only they did NOT learn cookery, they were teased by the other "macho" boys to be .........

I think it was in form three when she was assigned to teach us our elective domestic science.<br /><br />Some one made a mistake of doing this as there were about 7 or 8 Malay girls and an Iban boy in the class. This teacher comes from China and doesn't speak Chinese, and we girls and 2 boys were rather rude when she taught us to knit.<br /><br />She was forever saying, "CHEK DIEU" aka undo. First of all, the Malay girls couldn't understand her, and couldn't really follow her instructions. The teacher was very strict, if we made one mistake, she would say," Chek DIEU" <br /><br />By the end of the year, even before the Malay girls went to show her their work, they themselves would say, "CHEK DIEU"<br /><br />We naughty kids started callinng her old maid out of disrespect and frustration.<br /><br />Those you who know knitting, would know if you knitted to the back of the loop, you get a different pattern. I was knitting a dress (rather ambitious of me) <br /><br />Round about at the waist area, my sister Elizabeth picked up my knitting and knitted one inch for me. I didn't pick it up, and lo and behold, after three inches, I presented it to the teacher. <br /><br />May be she pitied me if I have to "CHEK DIEU 4 inches, or may be I am my father's daughter. she didn't me "CHEK DIEU" she said, treat it as a belt. LOL<br /><br />I must thank her, because now I can knit.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-91269531432054183582009-12-13T16:45:22.288+08:002009-12-13T16:45:22.288+08:00Thanks so much CY,

Just before he died, that first batch of students came to the hospital, and again at his wake. It was heartening to hear from them what a great teacher he was. <br /><br />Mum had 8 pregnancies, and 9 kids. The number 7 & 8 are twins. You may know number 7, he is Dr. Henry Chan, an anthropologist. I tease him that he served his apprenticeship in the jungles with the Punans, Ibans and Kayans. He has many Apais. <br /><br />Yes, we have quite and interesting family. If you decide to cool of and enjoy the nice climate of Bario, Elizabeth is often there with her Kelabit husband.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-354980318427080722009-12-13T08:41:15.584+08:002009-12-13T08:41:15.584+08:00Dear Uncle Lee

Certain groups of students are very united and they share their lives together in their journey towards the twilight years.<br /><br />I think today only small groups get together. I was very happy last night to hear a report from a very young man that his group of about 15 got together. Perhaps this is the seeds of a good school group - soon they will get married and have children and the circle widens....and they kind of look out for each other....<br /><br />What are school mates and friends for?<br /><br />Cheers to friendship.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-74904523520164475512009-12-12T20:11:39.538+08:002009-12-12T20:11:39.538+08:00Hello Sarawakania, wow!
