After watching Lion King in year 1994, I've already told my dad that, there are a lot similarities with the "Kimba the White Lion" I had read in comic book.

Now, Rotten Tomato had put up a side by side comparison - You make the call ;)

My dad took the photo - I did the interpretation

Everybody has different childhood memory - I hope it's a good one for this girl - she seems lonely and isolated.

Target achieved

Just one week after I had posted the Mun Choong 1995 year book on Facebook - the respond was immense.

I set a target personally to see if it could be successful - The photo album will have 300 comments & 200 tagged persons in a week - and yes, as of yesterday all were achieved.

The tagged persons could have been more - but there are people who simply can't accept their past - chose to untag themselves from the Facebook.

Needless to say, a chance is lost for these people to be connected by their primary school friends.

I had even one message sent from one of my friend to remove the photo from the Facebook - because the person uses Facebook in the office and the person can't stand questions being asked by the bosses or colleague.

For me and my sister, we found nothing wrong with the person's photo - the person looks quite the same as before.

And yes, while they have their rights, chose not to be tagged - I am still puzzled by the fact that they can't accept their past - it's a fact and you can't run away from it.

From the positive side, since I'm the owner of the scanned photo, everybody's comment will be copied to my email as well - Yes, I read some of them and mostly are positive - they are happy and surprised that after 14 years, they are able to reconnect with their school mate.

I thought I've done what is Facebook initially meant to be - (re)connecting people.

Since then I've added no less than 40 new friends, all from the same primary school.

I would consider this project is closed, successfully.

P/S: Facebook is viral, period.

Finally, got this project closed.

It's tiring, but I guess it's worth it.

Within hours after I posted the photos (cropped and adjusted from the Mun Choong Year Book 1995) my Gmail inbox hasn't been free.



Yes, 63 conversations (and growing) were what I getting and



One of the conversation has 41 threads - means I processed at least 150 mails!

Yes, I was really busy approving photo-tagging, new friends request, replying comment... etc

It's nice to see some of the school mates gathered together again (in a way)

I dunno what I'm procrastinating about, for 6F's gathering.

Perhaps I should outsource everything to my so called assistant.

And another thing, the comment on the photo album is totalling 83 comments with 154 persons tagged.

Which draws to only one conclusion:

Facebook is powerful and dangerous!

Tough

This project is tougher than I thought.

Spent few hours still get not much of positive result.

Still learning to use the software.

Optical Character Recognition is definitely not quite a fun thing to do.

Is 譚焙元。

But in the English name, it's the other one.

Reason being when I was small, I was very weak in those days.

I always fell sick etc

My grandma went to the temple and found out that my original name 禾粦 contains 'water' element, which is not suitable for me.

Therefore, 焙元 was selected (it has 'fire' element).

My mum told me that since then my health condition had improved.

Middle row, extreme right was me

Ok, MCYB sounds like a foul word.

But it stands for Mun Choong Year Book.

I'll be starting to scan and make the electronic version of the Year 1995 Mun Choong year book.

So till then, have fun ;)

Pillow snack was one of my childhood favorite junk food, so was my sis.

So in the last shopping session in Jusco, we stumbled upon it, in bigger packet:

With 50 cents beside as a comparison

Within 1 1/2 hours I had finished 1/2 of it.

This is the toothpaste that was part of my childhood's memory. The design back then was way better with the simpler and cleaner design, with all the animals sitting together.

I remember it cos I wanted to use Darlie (back then, it's called Darkie) toothpaste badly.

Strange? Yeah, I didn't quite fancy the taste and I wanted to use Darlie like adult - that's why it was so memorable.

I had a chat with my sister yesterday about this toothpaste, and I discovered an unknown secret - she likes orange flavour the most, and sometimes, she would go into the washroom, just to squeeze a bit and eat.

Yes, eat. In Malay, it's "makan" and in Mandarin, it's 吃

How about you?

Yep, that's mine.

I drew it when I was 6-year old, wanted to send to an aunt as a greeting card.

That was 1989.

My father forgot to send it, and we rediscovered it when my parents were doing housekeeping.

Location: Somewhere in Taman Desa, Old Klang Road

This is the back of the apartments which my grandparents stayed during the 80's- early 90's.

I remembered that I used to love going out with my grandpa when he's using the backdoor (I dunno, for some reason maybe)

The reason that I love going out? I felt that this area was a mystical place - it looked a bit scary (to be that empty and silent)

And for such an empty space, it's windy too.

Oh ya, now I remember why. There was a shortcut to the sundry shop. So if i could follow, I'll surely get something ;-)
