24 Nov 2009 – Visitors from USA

Gilbert CHAN is visiting from Florida. The last time I met up with him was nearly 20 years ago when he moved from California to Florida. It was great to catch up. His daughter, Mercy was less than a year young when I moved to California. Now she works in SIN and hopefully will get to meet with her and her mother Cindy before Gilbert & Cindy returns to FL. Gilbert’s father CHAN Yuen Onn worked for Kwong Lee Bank as far as my memory can recall!

Will post pictures when I get to meet the family. In the meanwhile, some creative displays when Charles CHONG and I took a walk from The Esplanade via the underground City Link to City Hall today. He has never been to that stretch where all these temporary displays are and he has lived in SIN for over 6 decades!  A year ago, there was another good display with Crocs. The school holidays have started and it was delightful to watch the young generation break dancing.
