1972 – 22 years old
1 Jan 72 (Sat)
Time flies! It’s the beginning of a New Year, and I am
growing one year older, I didn’t do much in my passing years, so I must make
good use of this year, no joking at all!
On the first day of 1972, I spent most of my time in
bed, because I was not feeling well, mum told me to go to the doctor, but I
refused, scared of taking medicine, I’ve taken some Chinese medicine ‘柠檬精’，feeling much better now, no more dizziness or headache, but the fever
still remain, see how I feel tonight!
Good friend Shir and sister came over here to watch
TV, because they don’t want to miss a good show, the show was ‘Credence
Clearwater Revival’, an American Pop group.
Called a bowl of Mee Hoon from opposite, shared with
Mum, then go to bed early.
2 Jan 72 (Sun)
Flu attacked me, can’t breathe at all, so
uncomfortable, godamnit!
Mum teaches me piano, we play together, it’s quite
nice I dare say.
Finished Erich Segal’s ‘Love Story’, I don’t like the
ending.
Went to the show‘血晒天牢’with
Mum, Rocky & Albert, the show was quite alright, but my nose wasn’t alright
at all.
This year, I try to write my diary in English, if I
can’t express anything in English, I will express in Mandarin, I think my
English will improve a lot in this way.
Before I went to bed, I finished 依达’s ‘桂嫂’.
丝姨has given us a lot of 杨桃, granny told me to bring
some for my friends in the Lab.
3 Jan 72 (Mon)
We got only eight samples to do today, and also four
cross-checked samples from Lee Gombak, so we finished almost everything while
it was still early.
Shir and I just made some conversation while waiting
to reach the time for going home. Shir
told me that the RRI boy Guen Wah has told her my X’mas card was put on the
notice board (the card was sent to all the staff of the RRI by me), but Guen
Wah said when he wanted to see what I had written on the card, the card had
disappeared, who stole it? Nobody knows.
There were so many cards on the notice board, but only mine one was
disappeared, I think somebody is 暗恋me, Ha!
TV’s Cantonese film was so lousy, I didn’t want to see anymore.
5 Jan 72 (Wed)
I didn’t go to work today, I was taking one day sick
leave.
Slept the whole day, for I was feeling very tired.
Five something, Shir brought back my salary, this
month’s salary I won’t simply spend it, if I do so, I know I’ll suffer at the
end of the month, not enough money to spend and ought to borrow from Mum.
At night, the girl from opposite (辉记) took me to her tailor for measuring, because I wanted to make a pair
of new trousers, hipster type.
6 Jan 72 (Thur)
宜 & 力 came, we went to buy record, I bought a record of Lena Lim (林竹君) and a new copy of Sister Pictorial (姐妹). 力 returned me two dollars.
7 Jan 72 (Fri)
Vincent came to our Lab., I told him to help us to
pump in the Turpentine, save us a lot of breathe.
We went to the show ‘Custer Of The West’, of course
Mum spend, I wore my stylish
Dammie, everybody seems to stare at me, the show was a
70 mm one, and there was stereo too, it was an exciting film.
8 Jan 72 (Sat)
After work, we went to the nearby Shell Station to buy
stamp, I bought eight packets, some same and spoilt one I sold to 絮 & 礼, 几衰啊！
The man worked next door (陈本更)
gave us a leave back, we mistaken him as a taxi driver, 真好笑！
Went to eat 糖水with Mum.
9 Jan 72 (Sun)
Early this morning, uncle 曙
came, he told me that the manager intends to transfer Lim (our supervisor) to
the factory, so Shir and I have to in charge of the whole Lab., if there is
still no raise of salary, who wants to do?
Unless employ one more assistant, otherwise, I’m sure we can’t even
finish our work after 5pm. We have a
stingy manager.
Lazy Sunday afternoon, everybody sound asleep!
Chin Hock (进福) phoned to me again,
talking all sorts of nonsense, he phones to me almost once at every couple of
days, I think he likes me very much.
Finished almost every story inside the ‘Crown
Magazine’ 皇冠.
Ate a bowl of fried meehoon ordered from opposite.
10 Jan 72 (Mon)
Mr. Balam and Ho of RRI came to our Lab., and do some
checking, Ho is the chap who took us to the Ampang Tau Foo (豆腐) when we were in KL, we talked a lot with him, Balam said I was very
shy, am I? He advised us to take the
exam one more time, this time he’ll pass us, but who knows?
First time talked to Lim, I didn’t talk to him for a
few weeks, because he scolded me last time, I didn’t been scolded by anybody
for the whole of my godamn life, how dare he scold me like that, so serve him
right!
Mum read my diary and said I write good English, I
warned her not to do it next time.
11 Jan 72 (Tue) c
Forgot to switch off the tap of the Turpentine, so the
mineral Turpentine over flown, I was so scared that Lim will scold me, but
fortunately, he didn’t do so.
Everyone in the house told me to go and take the
anti-polio, I went to Lim & Cheah with Shir, but the nurse said the
medicine hasn’t arrived yet.
I reread the Chinese Literature ‘家春秋’ again.
12 Jan 72 (Wed)
宜 came, borrow my red maxi skirt and the see through shirt, for she wants
to go out to dinner with B, I don’t feel like lending her, because these are my
new dresses, but how could I refuse her just like that, damnit!
13 Jan 72 (Thur)
While I was leaning on the bed and reading my story
book, FF came, I gave her the two new issue of ‘Crown Magazine’ which brought
for her days ago, we talked for some times, FF treated us 清补凉，Mum brought some 点心from Diamond Restaurant, I
once discovered that FF is quite nice.
14 Jan 72 (Fri)
I get tired of this job, I’m looking for a better
post.
I went to the show ‘Red Circle’, not very good.
I’m very fond of the song ‘you’ve got a friend’, the
wording is full of human feeling.
15 Jan 72 (Sat)
Although it’s Saturday, but I feel like ordinary week
days, no place to go, no fun at all.
The sad paragraph in ‘家’
made me feel sad too, the elder son of the book 觉新is a
coward, don’t even had the courage to 反抗.
Roam around with Mum, bought some New Year cards, eat
something then go back home, granny said somebody from KL has phoned to me, I
think is Chin Hock.
Lian took back my Hipster, so tight, I want her to
correct for me, 人工 4 dollars.
