I ...Thank you for reading and enjoying the stories. I understand your fear of water. I am afraid of slippery floor because I had a very bad fall and fractured one of my spinal bones. To this day I shiver whenever I have to walk on wet floor. I need to hold on to something. Water is also feared by me but I try not to swim because of my skin allergies.<br /><br />Hope you continue to read and make comments. God bless.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-77157867928474000742014-04-26T19:10:45.033+08:002014-04-26T19:10:45.033+08:00If you have told us as one of your true English st...If you have told us as one of your true English stories in the 1973 time, it would not only brighten our listenings, this is a story far than any books written. Today, down the journey I share your uncle's wonderful strength and wits at that instance nurtured from nature. Blessing to your cousin sister and the water was my worst fear which I also fell into the pond a few times some 50 years ago! I really read with fear and with tears. TQ for sharing.

How many were eaten by the crocodiles? How many just disappeared in the swift currents? One most famous drowning case was that of Ling Beng Siew's uncle, the brother of Ling Chu Ming. He was bathing at the back of a motor launch and then he disappeared for ever.Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-85298663329007748072014-02-28T17:54:09.428+08:002014-02-28T17:54:09.428+08:00She is Hii Mee Ping.

I was playing on a small wooden motor launch parked by the bank of a small channel of the Rejang River (We stayed near the riverbank). Suddenly I heard my brother screaming and realised that he has fallen into the water Fortunately I have the sense to hold my brother hand while I held on the edge of the boat. I remember the water was swirling and it's like in a movie. My brother was saved. Really wonder how many people have drowned in the mighty rejang!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4765555411888082127.post-35000778199624966142014-02-27T18:28:30.412+08:002014-02-27T18:28:30.412+08:00my 4th uncle was not so lucky.
