Hi, guys
I'm sure you all will remember Edward's older brother, Dr Thomas Chik. He lives in the same suburb as Edward. Since their suburb is adjacent to mine, their places are just a 5 minute drive from my place. Thomas taught us Boyle's Law and Archimedes' Principle in Form 1. I haven't got a clue now what those things were all about although I could remember the subject headings! Matter of fact, I could remember exactly what subjects I chose to study for the Senior Cambridge exams but I couldn't remember even 2% of the subject contents! So, I don't know whether or not I've got a good education! Does anyone of you have this same problem? I guess many of you could do better than my <2%>
And there was also Peter Ha who taught us Maths in Form 1. That guy was a no nonsense, rock solid personality. I like the way he taught Maths which was my weakest subject. I believe Maths geniuses are born, not self-made. No matter how hard I tried, I found it hard to unravel Mathematical problems. I finally graduated with the minimal Mathematical skills, namely, addition and subtraction with reasonable speed, which were just enough for me to enter the accounting profession.
My Canon digital camera broke down immediately after the expiry of the warranty period. What rotten luck! And I haven't found time yet to shop around for a new one. As soon as I got a new one, I'll try to get my kids to take a good shot of myself and I'll post it on the blog. The rest of the family members are opposed to posting any of their photos on the internet. So, I need to respect their wishes.
Cheers,
James Chai

James,
1. You have done well - at least in remembering what Thomas Chik taught; I have no recollection whatsover of what he taught, tho I remember him being a very gentle teacher unlike Balum Kung whom everyone loved to hate! I remember on the first day of Chemistry lesson, Francis Fong pronounced "Chemistry" with a "C" sound instead of "K" and he mocked Francis for that. That was Francis' first & last Science lesson in Form 4 I think.
2. Thanks for mentioning Peter Ha - I simply forgot such a person existed until now. Didn't his brother (from Sung Siu school, forgot his name) join us in Form 6 in St Mary's? Shows what 40 years had done to me!
3. Buy a good video cam which can also function as a camera unless you have one video cam already.
Rgds,
Hubert
