Yesterday, i went for a get-together at my mother's boss place. It was a comfortable gathering with her, my family and a good friend of hers. We were quite shy meeting him for the first time. But as time trickled by, he began to intrigued me.

He was a jack of all trades. He was born in Singapore in 1931, and went on to study in Australia. He became a learned man, his first job being a school teacher in a kampong village. He excelled in geography, history and chinese. He can answer and verify any doubts that you have. He went on to become an apprentice accountant. After which, he became the deputy director of finance in the Ministry of Defence. He went on to be posted to Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, police force, hospitals and POSB. He inherited land in M'sia, and converted it to a rubber estate, palm oil and durian plantation. He sold it at the beginning of this year. This 75 year old man's mind is still active, but Parkinson's Disease has slowed him down.

Mr Tan Han Meng is now living alone with a maid to care for him. He talks fondly of his papaya trees that he planted in his garden. Ever heard of Tuesdays With Morrie? Although i have never read it, i knew its storyline. This man reminds me of Morrie. The next time i see him would be in his house. I hope to learn more of his background and learn more about life.
