supports in action

When I was the Chairman of the Babagon Parish Council (the previous Penampang Parish Council's set ups) in the 70s and beyond, I had good supports from family members and Parish Council friends. These pictures taken during the Centenary Celebration at the Chapel of Saint Peter and Paul, Babagon, are testimonies to such supports. William Joti's support is always noted.

Taken in Wales bah!

I like this picture taken in 1981. It looked better, of course, when it was newer, or, at least, if it was not started on by some unfriendly termites.

When they were young

A casual impromptu pose of cousins taken more that a quarter abad ago.

New Year Eve a long long time ago

These are very old termites-spared pictures. Note that some individuals in the pictures are not around anymore.

Around 1998 or thereabout in time.

Young Jonathan, in his Dodu's hands, is a monongodu kumoinduvo to my mother but a monongodu kumoinsan to Francesca.

At Bagio, The Philipines.

It was in 1979. As some plane tickets were readily available, I found myself alone joining a group of familiar faces on the 1 week Manila Tour. Francesca and Trevor had earlier gone on the Hongkong one. This pose with my good friend, Range, was taken during the walk-about bus-trip to see an active volcano!

Memories of long ago...

My feature room-wall at the Residence
I happened to be away in UK in 1980-81 and I made my home at Mary Morris Residence, an 18p bus-ride to Leeds University. It's a walkable distance and I had once done the walk prompted by some magnetic incentives.

River Rhine Cruise.

At the end of the 3-months professional course at Lancaster University, England, in 1984, the group of Malaysian matured students took time off for an eight-days-10-countries coach-ride European tour. Hectic days and travel, but who really cared! There were cases of buying postcards in one country, self-addressing some and posting them home in another country. No wonder many did not arrive at all. I was at the organized River Rhine Cruise. The others must be all around the boat, shopping.
