The highlight of the month of October was a trip to West Malaysia to attend a wedding banquet of the daughter of a university close friend.
Kay Pin, the bride's dad is a man of few words. He was my final year room mate way back in 1977 when we shared a room in a corner terrace house in Jalan 17/6 in Petaling Jaya. He was also doing civil engineering but one year my junior. The family he raised is very similar to mine - an eldest daughter followed by two sons.
The brothers' speech about the sister was rather hilarious. Almost at day one of their births, the sister has assumed the role of a "stepmother" taking up the responsibility of a disciplinarian and dictating many of their do's and don'ts including the way they dress especially in special occasions. They concluded by welcoming their new brother-in-law as being the sixth stepson of their sister. How come sixth? They explained - father, mother, the two brothers and her favourite dog.
Of course, occasion likes this would be an avenue to meet up with old friends of university days.
