Eugene's convocation 2002
Eugene completed a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering. Immediately he found a job with Fisher and Paykel at East Tamaki, Auckland.Christchurch 2000
Both Kevin and Pearl graduated in 2000. Kevin finished his management degree from the Waikato University in Hamilton. Pearl finished her degree in electrical engineering from Canterbury U in Christchurch. She continued an extra year and finished a masters degree in engineering management.Miri 1994
Kevin was going to study in New Zealand the following week. So we took this family photo at Typhoon Studio, Krokop, for remembrance of the occasion. In 1995 the Chin family began our migration to NZ. I went over initially in 1996 to look after Kevin and Pearl. Christine stayed on with Eugene for one more year in Malaysia for him to complete form 5. Bahasa (Malay language) is a requirement for finding a job when he returns to Malaysia when he completes his university education.
Bintulu 1993
I bought a new car for Christine. It was a 1.5L Proton Iswara with automatic gears. We took it for a test drive to Bintulu to see the new LNG plant.KK, 1991
The family went to KK for holidays. This photo was taken at the chalets where we stayed two nights.KL 1988
This photo was taken by Mrs. Lucas Thien. I brought her along for a short holiday with us in KL.Pujut 1985
We have just moved into our own house in Pujut. I have very fond memories of the yellow Isuzu Trooper which I used for towing my boat.ETB 500 Lutong 1983
Just look at those beautiful long ears! They belong to our maid, a native Kenyah girl from the Baram. The Shell quarter, ETB (elevated type bungalow) is no longer there. It was very popular because of the parking spaces available under the house; also used by the children as a play area, during the day.
No, we had only two cars. The other one was a company car used by Christine, when she was on call as a nurse. She worked at the Lutong clinic for over 20 years.

Lutong, 1980
I was working with the drilling department as a trainee driller. We were staying in a semi detached two brm Shell company house opposite the Lutong cinema. Our neighbours were Mark Ho and Harmadi Tani whose mother, Mrs. Tani looked after Kevin on many occasions when our maids ran away. Those were the days before Indon maids became widely available in Malaysia. Maids became a necessity for many working couples. They are also in great demand for looking after old people in Malaysia where retirement homes are not yet popular.
Kuantan 1979
This is one of the earliest family photos. Christine has just returned from doing a training course in England. Shi Shan and Yok Ngo brought Kevin and Pearl to Kuantan. They left early because they were waiting for their form 6 results. I followed a week later with Eugene. Eugene and I went to meet her plane at Singapore and we travelled together the next day by bus from Singapore to Kuantan.
