2 Sep 2025 – DOB Confusions…

Sun: appreciations to our beautiful fashionable hostess for Sunday’s dinner@ImperialTreasureTeoChew/Ion where one of my favourite chicken-fish-maw-shark-fin-soups. Delicate lovely potted Cuphea hyssopifolia/MexicianHeathers made nice gifts when one can present them wrapped like these.

Mon: hello Sep on a dark&early walk before sunrise&rains. View of lights towards downtown from the CrusieCentre is just an illusion of the sun – could feel the humidity and tiny drops of drizzles in the air but really quite lovey&breezy.

Amazing to get the impression that there is land across in the dark while actually they are all the lid-up tankers in the sea between Indoneaia&SIN.

After ~7,000steps headed inland to the MT-market from SiglapCanal by one of the few overhead-bridges over ECP with hardly any traffic on both sides at this time, also the best time for me to walk.

Sep starts the month of autumn and looks a busy month ahead to welcome visitors from Norway,Thailand,USA. Believe it or not but there are ~21 family-Bdays and ~40FB-friends-Bdays this month – calculate 9months back and figure it out… hahaha!

2yrs ago completed this PEI/Canada hike – will be making a presentation on long-distance hiking in Nov2025@Campers’ Corner. Date to be announced.

Tue: another cool lovely wet morning with appreciations to cousin Irene(from Granduncle LAM JeeChew’s branch)for making me dig into papers/donated to National Library Board./NLB to discover that my father BG1LAM TinYue(1913-1996) was born on 15Jul1913 and not 15Jun1911 as previously stated. What a pain to have to go into all the postings to correct his year of birth. Checking to discover that 4Auntie BG4LAM PohKow(1916-2016) was born Jan1916?? and 5Uncle BG5LAM TinYick(1916-1988)in Oct1916. WOW! paternal grandmother RG1CHAN SweeNgor was prolific!

Cousin Yun tells me I remember that #4 birthday was in aug a day before mine in the lunar calender and if this is the case I am totally confused…??? Am aware that dates may not be accurate as the older generation used the lunar calendar but do want to at least get the years correct on the family tree while waiting for nephew Raymond to confirm the DOB of his grandmother.
