ARTICLE WRITTEN IN 1958 - STARRY NIGHT

I remember when I was a student in St Andrew Secondary School Muar in the mid 50s, I frequently contributed articles to the "Malayan Schools Magazine". Though I kept copies of the published articles in my brother's house in Muar, I was unable to retrieve any of them after the demise of my brother in May 2004.

But in the early 90s, an old classmate kindly sent me a copy of the article "Starry Night" published in our school magazine in 1958 when I was in Form V.

Reading this article now (nearly half a century after I wrote it) I can still vividly recollect the peace, simplicity and naivety of my happy boyhood days in a rural area! read more

MY EARLY LIFE

This is the story of my life when I was young and lived in a village near Muar, Johor. It depicts my humble beginning as a “bongsu” of a   migrant family from China and the vicissitudes of my childhood.

The most dramatic period of my school-days was when I went through two mission schools from1953 to 1958. I was sacked from one and was badly treated in another by its principal who was an educated and religious brute. Nevertheless, it is still an eventful and memorable span of my early life, including a couple of turning points which I still cherish to this day..... read more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE ODYSSEY IN SEARCH OF A REMEDY FOR My DIZZY VISION

This is my life’s latest episode. It depicts my traumatic encounters with many medical practitioners in Malaysia and Singapore, including a Chinese physician in a T&CM centre in KL for a minor dizziness problem.

During this period from early Feb to June 08, my liver was damaged due to consumption of Chinese medicines. My dizziness problem persisted even though I was advised by eye specialists that I had to adapt to wearing multi-focal glasses.

But after trying to adapt to my new multi-focal glasses for more than four months my problem deteriorated. Finally, as luck would have it and in the nick of time I found the solution to my problem and averted a serious damage to my left eye. My lens implant in my left eye was found to be dislocated and my dizzy vision was due to its movement.

After the new implant was installed, I recovered from my dizzy vision. But my Left eye's vision was not as good as before.

Six months after my new lens implant was installed in my left eye, I went scuba diving in N Sulawesi. After I returned I went for a follow-up examination and was shocked that the vision of my left eye had deteriorated and I had a “swollen” retina! Further tests by a couple of retina surgeons confirmed that I had “Epiretina Membrane” in my left eye’s retina!
