Reminiscence - Stories told


It was years before independence, commuting without the LRT or even cars. Only the richest can afford a car and during that time this only means the royal family and the 'orang putih'. This dated back to more than 50 years ago at Kuala Lipis. My father was a temporary teacher at Kuala Lipis and a football player in Lipis Club. He used to play football, hockey and rugby for Clifford, games introduced by the British to the English school.

One of his schoolmate when he was in Clifford was from the royal family , a football enthusiast. The photo above was taken before a match between the Lipis Club and Clifford School. The outcome of the match was as expected when one had to play against a 'royal' team. One of his stories that i remembered well was that he had to play even when he was down with fever. He could not refuse 'the summon' when 'the car' was there in the frontyard waiting.

Maybe you would like to guess who Mr A and Mr M is.

sorry I can't resist making the first comment. Mr A looks so much like Boogey the Anonymous. Mr M has a strong resemblance to Khin.

boogey still has not figured out how to put his name on, eh? rabun IT. Here's a hint, click on "Other".

i used to love to hear the old football game stories. if you don't pass the ball to A, then you're accused of hoarding the ball (or could there be some merit to it? hmm..)

Why do ppl keep concluding that anonymous is me? It could be anyone. That`s why it`s called anonymous. Not to be known. Or does my name flashes out in other ppls pc when they press some secret button?
i`m happy remaining anonymous so that I can have the privacy of throwing my opinion to the open public in secrecy?
That sounds very stupid and that`s one important reason why being anonymous is very important.
I don`t want to click other because I don`t have any other identity. I am only anonymous but not insane.

Boogey, We know that anonymous is you because we know you love being incognito, giving comments in secrecy. It's like thowing stones and hiding your hands :).

Where has the real Boogey with the brave-front gone to? Mana semangat Gallipoli tu? Where has the crimson red flag flown to? :))

If you throw stones at people and don`t hide ur hands, u get your stones back the hard way. If u hide ur hands, you open the way to great discoveries. Do you know that someone threw an apple at Newton and hid. Newton started thinking and thinking makes a wiser man. If Newton knew the thrower, he would only have gotten furious and we would all still be floating.
Moral of the story...I remain anonymous for the benefit of mankind. You can call be super anonymous if u like although I`m not asking.
