1973 8月16-31日(沙沙的 lousy 英文日记)


16 Aug 73 (Thur)

遂进舅and his English wife & children were arriving Ipoh this afternoon, they haven’t took their dinner, so Mum spent them to ‘Maxim’, they wanna to put up in hotel, so I took them to Hotel Mikarto, he complained that the price was rather high, he said he can stay in any place, but when Mum phoned to Sar Ku, he seems not very welcome 遂进舅.  They pay a visit to Kong2, met Yee Ku, lead our way to Sar Ku’s house, about midnight, we have something to eat at Canning Garden before returning home.

 

17 Aug 73 (Fri)

Feeling so sleepy in the office, so lunch hour went upstairs to have some rest on the table.

 

18 Aug 73 (Sat)

Stomach not feeling well, went to toilet so many times, swallowed the ‘保济丸’ also no help at all.

To the show ‘北地胭脂’, not bad, about the pros. Of olden China.

Wan Ku and family have gone to Penang for sight seeing.

 

19 Aug 73 (Sun)

Borrow 10$ from Mum.

Stomach still not feeling well, Mum asked me to go to see doctor Liew, said I am diarrhea.  Write me a bill, so I can claim back tomorrow.

遂进舅 came back from Penang, took him to have their dinner at Malaysia.

I like his daughter & son, so cute, but dare not speak to them cos’ of my poor English.

To Sar Ku’s house and back home quite late.

 

20 Aug 73 (Mon)

Felt dizzy ‘cos these few nights I slept quite late, the stomach was pain and uncomfortable, so at about 10.00 am, I took leave and went back, in front of our office, I waited for the Company car, but none was there, met Liew, he was banking in at Chartered Bank, I asked him to give me a lift back.

 

21 Aug 73 (Tue)

My hair looked like hell, so curly, so phoned up asked her to take me to any hair dresser and trim my ugly hair.

After work, I rush back, was waiting for me, she took me to the ‘Avon’, my hair was trimmed so nicely this time, shorter in front and quite long at the back, really Shakky Look now, costs me 3.50$, but after all this is worthwhile.

Spent 淇‘红图麵’, - $1.50

They played Poker till morning, I couldn’t sleep well.

 

22 Aug 73 (Wed)

Chin bought a ‘Key Book for Carter’s Advance Book Keeping’ costs 16.20$, she claimed back from Mrs. Wong.  Mr. Eng has gone outstation, so Mrs. Wong is holding the petty cash.

I asked Shir to borrow money from somebody, then asked Mutthu to buy the books for us, claiming petty cash from Mrs. Wong is much more easier than claiming from Mr. Eng.

So Tan, shir, & me bought the book & claim back the money already.

 

23 Aug 73 (Thur)

Mum cooks 糯米饭for Rocky’s birthday.  Got no money to buy present for him.

 

24 Aug 73 (Fri)

Borrow money from Mum, went to ‘Globe’ bought half dozen of handkerchief for Rock as birthday present $6.00.

 

25 Aug 73 (Sat)

Teh asked for transfer to Johore for the Flyover contract, the bosses also agreed to let her go, so she learnt everything concerning about account from me, she asked me to teach her how to write cheques, so I do so, she wrote the cheques for me.

One o’clock, Tan said Mr. Kok wants to see me, so I went to his room, Mr. Kok asked who wrote the cheques, is it Mr. Wong, I said it was Miss Teh who wrote the chq. No wonder Mr. Kok asked such a question, cos’ Teh didn’t chop A/C payee on the chq., the amount of the chq. Were quite big, 2 were 10,000$, and 1 was 60,000, all cash chq! If lost in transit, what to do. Company sure will sack me, it was lucky that before Tan sent out the cheques, she noticed without A/C payee.

Went back after having my bath and makan, they phoned me up said were waiting for me at tailor’s place, so I met them there together, we went to the show ‘Cabaret’, these type of picture wasted money only.

Don’t know why Mr. Goon asked us not to miss it.

 

26 Aug 73 (Sun)

Whole day doing book-keeping exercise.

 

29 Aug 73 (Wed)

They all said the Cambodian picture ‘人蛇恋’ is very nice, after book keeping to the show with Mum, not bad, was a legend, but the colour is rather dull.

 

30 Aug 73 (Thur)

Knowing that our Company is organizing a trip to Thailand in October, Mrs. Y told June, asked her to find out how many of us wanna go, but the selfish fellow just keeping quiet, if there is no more vacancies for us to go, we sure all will blame her.

 

31 Aug 73 (Fri)

Today is National Day, early in the morning, TV broadcasting the parade at Kuala Lumpur, not long, I heard the Band’s playing, it was a parade at Hugh Low Street, so Mum and I went out to have a watch, it was rather warm, my formal school band was playing quite well I admit.

Noon, to the show ‘叛逆’,starring David Chang and Agnes Chan, got human feeling.
