Alhamdulillah. Whilst here we missed the 70th birthday kesyukuran for dad/grandpa. Looking at the photos in PHS blog, it was quite an event with speeches and so on. Born in 1938, in an era when boys became men early, dad/grandpa became a teacher after just a few years of schooling. Then off to Semenanjong but didn't finish his teachers training because of the consternation when Brunei didn't join Malaysia at that time. From then on he has been a teacher ever since, specialising in Malay sastera, before finally lecturing at the teachers training college until retirement.
Other than that that he has a real passion for travelling, something that definitely has rubbed on us. But his biggest contribution is to the community in his former village in Tutong where he spent endless amount of energy and time involved in probably the most successful village organisation in the country for many years. The organisation is called "Pertama".
