Armidale, 1966


I booked a seat on a train in Melbourne and went north to Armidale, NSW to attend my sister's convocation in 1966. I was wearing my new suit. Now I understand the real reason why Rose bought it for me in Kuching. I was going to be her partner at her graduation ball. For that, I needed to wear a formal suit or a tuxedo with bow tie!

Sydney 1967


I went to visit my elder sister Rose in Sydney in 1967 to farewell her. She has completed her studies and returning to Sarawak as a graduate teacher. She has a B.A. (English) and Dip Ed from the university of New England. Her first assignment was Tanjong Lobang School in Miri.


I had a school mate and friend, Yong Chiong Vun in Sydney. He took me to climb the bridge and go for a cruise on the ferry from Circular Quay. We visited Manly beach and King's Cross. It was so good to have a local tour guide to take me sight seeing.
