Marching In

Yesterday, we had two weddings to go to. The one realised is the wedding of the youngest son of my eldest step brother in Klang (the other, we could not get back in time). The wedding was held in Laman Mazmida. My third son Izhar, who came back the night before, drove us there. The app he used showed there was a huge jam on the highway due to an accident. We took the Gamuda Cove exit and went through oil palm plantation roads (plenty of high bumps) to get there. Here are some photos that my brother shared late last night.

He also told me that Dato' Mohandass came and asked about me. Dato' Mohandass is my primary school mate in Sekolah Kebangsaan Sultan Yussuf (SYS). 

I was there from Standard 3 (or Year 3) during the time of Pn Machado. Before that, I was in Methodist English School (MES) in Tanjung Malim (I have very little memories of my time there - I have vague memories of friends named Razman and Jamaliyah). For SYS, besides Dato' Mohandass, I remembered Chang Seit Kim (a close friend whose father is also a close friend of my late father), Saiful Yazzan and Rosli Dawam (I think). being a person of lower social intelligence (there, you have it; poke fun if you like), I did not keep in contact many of them. Sometimes I do envy those who are very sociable and kept contact with past friends. Perhaps this is why I get to be easily forgotten too. I'm no snob and I'll be happy to meet friends from the past and recall all the nice memories. I guess I take the attitude of a traveller in a temporary world, taking life as it comes, not much of looking back.

Currently, I take more heed of what is going on right now. My youngest son, in the weeks to come, will go for his industrial training in UniKL. Particular worry now is his place of stay during the training. He has started to practice driving,

Elsewhere on the web, I've been listening to the interview of Kenneth O'Keefe (see here and here). Updating myself with the flour massacre. I still looked into discussions on philosophy in FB but perhaps with less interest. I still think, what we are lacking now are those who are well-proficient in sophisticated maths and perhaps this is where I can help. Much can be said but certainly much more to be done.
