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. The first time the bus crossed 2 rivers at Rompin and Mersing and it was a long full day journey with very long waits for the ferry. Then after a few more years, there was only one ferry and finally, no ferry. Most of our annual leave was spent this way.
Our Shell provided house in Lutong. The young lady with the long ears was our full time, live-in nanny. She was a Kenyah native from the Baram area.

The Miri/Bintulu road was recently opened. I took my family on a trip of discovery to visit my cousin, Peter Thien. He was involved with the construction of that road. Before that, he was building roads near Marudi.
