| 1956 . Farewell to Aunt Lily, Aunt Phyllis and Aunt Maggie. All the male siblings in necktie. |
Uncle Siu King going to the UK.
My memories of Sg. Merah are plenty. One of them would be those welcoming and farewelling photos taken at the old airport with my grandfather. He would come well dressed and expected every one to be dressed up for the occastion.
Then he would get my father to take the photos.
Here are two photos one with my grandfather in a bow tie and one with a neck tie.
Going to the airport was a very special event for us.
But what was unpleasant for us then, to our little minds, was having to pass the cemetery at Sg. Merah. We would close our eyes and ask the adults, "Have we already passed the cemetery?"
Are all children scared of looking at graves?

Great photo.
I spent about 2 years in Sibu from 1967 to 1969. I was about 6 or 7 year old then.
In fact our small family moved from Kuching to Sibu and lived in the governmental flat right across the cemetery.
