Today (17 June)
is actually my 70th birthday but we had our celebration over the last
weekend so that our children could be back with us. On Sat night we had a
dinner with the family and relatives. My daughter, Juni's birthday was
yesterday so we always celebrate our birthdays together.
Then
on Sun, we had the Lunch with about 200 colleagues, church members and
friends. My new book "A Doc's Life" was also launched at the function.
This is my 3rd book, after Young Emotion (school days) and Cell Wars
(experiences with chemotherapy). This new book relates my memories of 50
years in the medical field. I entered Grant Medical College in Bombay
in June 1965, then houseman in Penang, medical officer in Perlis,
lecturer in UHKL and then O&G consultant in Ipoh
If
you like a copy please let me know. The basic price is RM15 but
donations are welcome. ALL proceeds will go to charity. At the Birthday
function, we collected about RM15,000 in ang pows and donations for the
books. All these will go to charity. Thanks for your best wishes.
Below
is the well known song which I have modified the lyrics. We are no
longer sexygenarian but entered into the age of septuagenarian.
SIXTY GOING ON SEVENTY
(16 Going 17- Sound of Music)
I am sixty going on seventy
Maybe it’s hard to think
Recall the good years
Laughter and tears
Gone by in just a blink
I am sixty going on seventy
Sometimes I fall on the way
No more the young lad
And no more the strength
To run and to swim and play
Totally unprepared am I
To face this world alone
Clumsy and lost and blur am I
To use this new hand-phone
There may be someone younger and prettier
To tell me what to do
But dear, you are sixty going on seventy
I still depend on you
