9.1.2025 Thursday Seeing Justin

We arrive at noon, check in at our hotel - a shophouse type near the Chinatown MRT. Later we make our way to AMK where Eng2 waits for us at the ticket office. We have not seen each other for almost 40 years, he was completing his National Service when we last met. 

He recalled the days when we visited as a family, to a one-room apartment where nine people were already residing. He distinctly remembers my drawings, and that I once had a fit (probably due to heatstroke) and had to be sent to the hospital. I was probably 13 years old then. 

Kim Po seems very alert and pleased to see us. She and Sam struck it off, chatting about this and the other.
