You can't believe this!

This particular one was taken at the now gone Cathay Theater, Jesselton, (top floor) in 1962. I was a very new tenaga pengajar, a pupil-teacher, at St. Michael's Primary School, Penampang at that time.

At the Leeds British Council Welcome Party

Bavang Babagon!

This particular picnic spot of Babagon River had long been wiped out caused by the further up-river, Babagon Dam. Young TMT1 used to enjoy duck-swims in the shallow clear cool water of the stone-strewn popular picnic bank. A little price to pay for development! Terrance was on the suspension bridge over Babagon River when a picture of the bridge was taken for publication in the local daily. The Village Development Committee in those days used to pride in every bit of infrastructure development it had achieved.

With the English Advisory Team leader

In as recent as 1981, from Leeds University I visited the Reading Centre, at Berherside, Skircoat Green, Halifax, HX3 OR2 They had an English Advisory Team operating from that Centre. There were some similarities to the TST (Teacher Support Team, later, Teacher Support Teacher) concept established for convenient groups of schools in Malaysia at around that time too.

In Swansea, England, in 1981.

I was in Leeds at that time. Some younger Sabah students invited me to join them for a weekend trip to Swansea. We visited Robert Gondipon.

A poor show!

What's wrong with this photograph? One may say that there's nothing wrong about it. I agree, there's nothing wrong with it. The photographer wanted to focus on the younger ones only. The older ones ... not that they're not so important, but they were simply not the focus. Just a justifying argument! A display of photograph taking-skill of yesteryears!
