This is my father's birth year, the Rabbit which means that he would have been 84 this year. This photo reminds me that he was always trying to outdo himself; through sports (he was a competitive badminton, table tennis, basketball and tennis player), through studies (he took correspondence courses, and prided himself as being fluent in the 3 national languages, he read English classics and books about WW2), he took photographs, he took us traveling, he drew the backdrop to our tropical aquarium and knew how to write Chinese calligraphy.
He was an good all rounder. The only thing he wasn't good at was cooking, I remember him frying rice for us when mom was in the hospital.
