16th September 1974. That's the date when I left Malaysia for the first time heading for England to further my studies. That's almost thirty five years ago. Can you recognise me in the picture? I was just 18 years old then. It will be another four years before I set foot again in Malaysia, coming back to spent the summer holidays.
As usual, I would spent my summer holidays in Europe and if I remember correctly, I was in Amsterdam that summer when I suddenly felt the urge to come back to Malaysia. As luck would have it, I had enough money for the plane ticket and that's how I ended up back home after four long years.
After the holidays, I went back to England to complete my final year and came back for good in 1979.
