The Joy Luck Club

When the Joy Luck Club came out and Amy Tan became a household name in Sibu, it raised a great deal of awareness among the women . A quote from Amy Tan..."Hope is all we can have..." became quite a topic for discussion.Image result for Joy Luck club

And so did this one, "I see you...that bad crab only you want to take it...you took worst...because you have best quality heart..." As a Foochow woman I would take a worst part of the crab and let the elders have the best part. But not every Foochow woman would be like me. I know of one friend who would not eat crab unless she has the pincer.

Amy Tan makes us know ourselves better, and more about others too.

So to all who take the worst in life....my best wishes for this new year...no one can take what is in your heart away from you....




You are not a loser if you have quality in your heart....

There is a dragon out that which takes the worst quality (crab) but has a good quality heart...and he is waiting for you....too

May you have a great dinner...whether alone..or with a big family...or with a good friend....

It's equally nice to be a proud mum, "My Kid, th eonly one in step, the others out of step."

God blessed my girls to be talented in drama. The older one, was even recommended to do Drama as a career. Too bad she has conventional parents who want her to have something to fall back on. She was scouted to be a model, and SIA stewardness.
