While in Toronto, we managed to link up with Esther Chong and spent half a day with her family. We knew her since she was a little primary school girl way back since 1979 when we were staying in a government rented quarter. That semi-detached house in Taman Foh Sang belonged to her late father. Later on, the parents sent her and her brother to the house for English tuition by my wife. After marrying William from Brunei, the family moved to Canada and settled down in Toronto.
When we finally met in the afternoon of 3 September, She started by driving us around the neighborhood of Missisauga showing us some of Missisauga's seafront and some of the iconic buildings.

Like the twin towers in Malaysia, Missisauga too has a unique pair of towers which some refer them as "Marilyn Monroe' Towers". This twisted twin towers are said to resemble Marilyn Monroe's hourglass figure. In terms of design, the larger tower twists 209 degrees from the base to the top. Credit must indeed be given to the structural engineers, Sigmund Soudack & Associates for having successfully completed this peculiar design.

Our reunion ended with a sumptuous home-cooked meal at the Ng's residence.
