<br />
Left 6 of us, my mom, my 3 sisters, my brother and me to fend for ourselves.<br />
<br />
We lived on social welfare and picked cans to sell for a living. Many times we survived on dark soya sauces and plain rice at times with an egg.<br />
<br />
Than someone teaches my mom how to cook food to sell. Steaming the glutinous rice and yam cakes 2 hours made the room very hot. The heat didn't dispersed until the wee hours in the morning<div><br /><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8RPekKdrA4fiHuf3NlwrEn18iNwDB3eQeDaUuV3GYQ3IfDx48a4OcQ8X2eiQx6dbywMUffo0ta5yEepfrtlZ63mGmU8D0FP9rmlXeJEZnTPaJFOq-5K1KSVdrtkT1sLrMb22Z8xQnEdXHdBCv2msZZvW-KmfbWePrc_KD9KNMSvjjgbFqPY8eYXEo=s2320" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2320" data-original-width="1539" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh8RPekKdrA4fiHuf3NlwrEn18iNwDB3eQeDaUuV3GYQ3IfDx48a4OcQ8X2eiQx6dbywMUffo0ta5yEepfrtlZ63mGmU8D0FP9rmlXeJEZnTPaJFOq-5K1KSVdrtkT1sLrMb22Z8xQnEdXHdBCv2msZZvW-KmfbWePrc_KD9KNMSvjjgbFqPY8eYXEo=s320" width="212" /></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The Yong Wah Radio and Electric Service store, which used to be a makeshift wooden store ran by the mom and her eldest son, I frequently repaired our kerosene stove and tricycle there in the earlier days at Geylang</span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span><div>The pushcart quite similar to the makeshift wooden pushcart, when I was a few years old from Mattar Road to Circuit Road Block 67 pavement to hawk the food, before I went to my primary school</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgaFdgO7o46LAKdrqnm8Fl3o5RcuBkFzAq9XhUEZgBqmXCaZLGLqRvkN5oNEnJTBg7jX2hPNeuh1I_4VVsxPvU3nX7HNqY5K8lsHAVFaIHC4inRDiEc6WM2fS1qn90rfzizSveUvDG4w_w-WBNjrBJW-hDPA_xnosAemHSh5LdduVYq1-G5wA7gUVhx=s2428" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1823" data-original-width="2428" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgaFdgO7o46LAKdrqnm8Fl3o5RcuBkFzAq9XhUEZgBqmXCaZLGLqRvkN5oNEnJTBg7jX2hPNeuh1I_4VVsxPvU3nX7HNqY5K8lsHAVFaIHC4inRDiEc6WM2fS1qn90rfzizSveUvDG4w_w-WBNjrBJW-hDPA_xnosAemHSh5LdduVYq1-G5wA7gUVhx=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The type of wooden pushcart which I put the foods inside and above it covered it with a piece of plastic</div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>
<br />
Even after the cooking stopped, the room still hot with the heat generated around.<br />
I usually avoid staying at home due to the heat by sitting in the staircase downstairs for hours watching the days went by, playing Chinese chess at the coffee shop and catching fishes at the Pelton canal etc.<br />
<br />
My 2nd sister after married brought her 4 children to come to stay at our one room rented flat. So at night there were hardly any place to sleep.<br />
<br />
Every morning 364 days, rain or shine. I woke up early in the morning at 4 am brought the foods down and push the cart from Mattar Road to Circuit Road to sell. At that time if the estate officers caught us selling foods they might confiscated it.<br />
<br />
The heat in the room and worrying about the food been confiscated exacted heavy toll on my 3 sisters and mom health.<br />
<br />
Later we got a stall to rent at Sims Drive. Situation improved a bit. After that I am able to buy a 3 room flat.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> Sims Drive market<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhB0_SXIPDVqZeot443q9_UWuIbRmdXNmqNfuUQAT1QET-AVFtX-cGInVd29vuZXmAUGAOSWDoaUp4J9TaCBySPAAVF7XaWyM1lpruySVVPYtsPSwSy6h2JtIKoeSxtc-u3iXZVVxL2ExNegMcScPo1zzz8FKbx1T2LAO7CJWuagCBr5J0rWXSKd_Dx=s320" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhB0_SXIPDVqZeot443q9_UWuIbRmdXNmqNfuUQAT1QET-AVFtX-cGInVd29vuZXmAUGAOSWDoaUp4J9TaCBySPAAVF7XaWyM1lpruySVVPYtsPSwSy6h2JtIKoeSxtc-u3iXZVVxL2ExNegMcScPo1zzz8FKbx1T2LAO7CJWuagCBr5J0rWXSKd_Dx" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br />
<br />
Every night after all my neighbors slept at around 11 pm plus I brought the cardboard and a pillow out to the end of the alley to sleep, until 4 am woke up to help to sell the food.<br />

It is not safe sleeping outside at the corridor of the rental flat. There were constant fightings around the area at that time. Sometimes raining and strong winds I moved inner,. At the end of the corridor which the open air were cooler.<br />

At Upper Aljunied Technical School</div>
<br />
Things begin to improve, A master printer who print the Lianhe Zaobao stayed nearby came to my mom stall, encouraged me to work in Singapore Press Holding.<br />
<br />
After I started working one year plus I got the good fortune to buy a 3 room HDB flat at 27 years old, which officially end my journey of sleeping on the street .<br />
<br />
I worked 7 days a week then with the overtimes and bonus to build up the finances and started to invest, which a colleague introduced me a broker at 30, so I am able to afford to buy a flat.<br />
<br />
I regular borrow book to read at the mobile library at 10 years old, which came every Wednesday in Macpherson Community Club building up my knowledges and interest in travelling.<br />
<br />
To avoid staying at home I train regularly with my ball juggling and cycling which the medias found it interesting and came to record and broadcasted it.</div><div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgwHqSLgc-A48ql4eol_ul18qGnc1qb1fn6gsbAPSPD50PAphlK-bCXPL6Hfp21LccdADc2zsMFqnU_1sw8nstaFsX_9NCW83SerGuwWzyn1465kolXog6OgXLFdKN4YbNHspPIQ1sjG0/s1113/National+Library.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="1113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgwHqSLgc-A48ql4eol_ul18qGnc1qb1fn6gsbAPSPD50PAphlK-bCXPL6Hfp21LccdADc2zsMFqnU_1sw8nstaFsX_9NCW83SerGuwWzyn1465kolXog6OgXLFdKN4YbNHspPIQ1sjG0/s320/National+Library.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> At the National Library<br /><div><br />

<br />
My friend James drived me to Johor Bahru in 1986 which is my first time travelling out of the country. The second time is my coworker organised a group trip to Genting Highland to Malaysia in 1989<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaut_a8EkP-PeLaWIauKrE80Bh9kG4u8AKj5nzJVkWVLgkVMCL9vQhra5F19L-p9UdE1EoBviw85uSeVktXOljSxrRl9hXTUt-yXpW69RiRPWfsy0qYVpycw5XJx8qgdJ8xYgtEwtbuDY/s1600/Genting%252BHighland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="1026" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaut_a8EkP-PeLaWIauKrE80Bh9kG4u8AKj5nzJVkWVLgkVMCL9vQhra5F19L-p9UdE1EoBviw85uSeVktXOljSxrRl9hXTUt-yXpW69RiRPWfsy0qYVpycw5XJx8qgdJ8xYgtEwtbuDY/s320/Genting%252BHighland.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Undoubtedly Johore Bahru is my most visited foreign states, the next was Batam of Indonesia which I whiched 4 times and enroute to Selat Panjang. Since than I had visited 37 countries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Numerous countries I travelled more than one time, all the countries I travelled to is holiday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hoped to travel to all the developed countries around 30.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My criteria for frugal travels are accomodation near the city spectacular view and chinese foods. I used all mode of travels. Backpacking, free and easy follow group tour and solo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had travelled to 4 continents </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Between 1998 to 2007 I had stopped travelling bring up 2 children</div>

Where 33 ago I had my first interviewed in the medias at 1985 by Straits Times Janice Seah, where most of my interviews were conducted in the English with medias, with the Chinese Lianhe Wanbao reporter this is the first time, which I shared my story. We spoken mostly in Mandarin. She asked me numerous questions about my story, it was quite a long interview lasting around an hour.<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that I was supposed to be interviewed or broadcasted by channel 8 which never materialised in 1986, where I and my friends went down to meet the channel 8 producer at the then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (presently Mediacorp), last minute it was switched to the English channel 5, my feats were filmed in 4 different locations in 2 days, at East Coast Park which lined with linear metal poles, Singapore National Stadium, Woodsville Secondary School Football field and Sims Drive children playground<br />
<br />
If it was broadcasted in Ch 8 of my skills in free style football juggling feat and amazing bicycle stunts, I had often wondered will my destiny was different if it was broadcasted in Channel 8, the 8 pm varieties show rather then Sunday morning 10.30 am where many were sleeping?<br />
<br />
The Lianhe Wanbao reporter and the camera man interviewed me in a variety of topic one hour at 5 pm in different locations and the photographer took lots of pictures. <div><br /></div><div>My amazing story was translated by google:<br />

值得注意的是,我应该接受第8频道的采访或广播,该频道在1986年从未实现,我和我的朋友们去了当时的新加坡广播公司(现为Mediacorp)的第8频道制作人,最后一分钟切换到英语频道5,我的专长在2天内在4个不同的地点拍摄,在东海岸公园,线条金属杆,新加坡国家体育场,伍兹维尔中学足球场和模拟人生儿童游乐场

I reach the hotel in Venice Hotel Noventa from Slovenia in a coach. I asked the reception, I was fortunate at night at least one hour of prayers and in the morning one hour of chanting, to ask the for directions to my destination in Venice islands, Venice consisted of around 150 islands is the main trading port during Marco Polo time in the Fourteen Century.<br />
<br />
I need to take bus from the hotel to the railway station to the Venice islands, for around at least one and the half hour trip there.<br />

<br />
Fortunately I met a student he told me he was going to the train station too, so he brought me to buy the tickets to and back home at the store, to take the bus nearby, where he sit next to me.<br />
<br />
On the bus he asked me various questions about Singapore. When we reach the station he direct me to the counter and explain to me how to take the train and left to take bus to his school.<br />
<br />
When I reached Venice island I went to the counter to buy a whole day ticket for travelling whole day by boats to all the islands, I met a ltalian lady beside me who is studying tourism and offered to bring me to the island Murano.<br />
<br />
After some time I decided to take the boat to another island Burano. After taking numerous pictures and my lunch, I decided to asked the ticketing agent which is the 3rd popular island to go. He told me Tocello island.<br />

<br />
After taking numerous pictures, I decided to go back, fortunately I met a lady from France she assured me that she will help me all the way to back to the station where I came, as we needed to changed the boat 2 times. She asked numerous persons on the way, as she know how to speak Italian.<br />
<br />
Later she asked me to drop at the berth of my station, and she continued her journey to San Marco in boat.<br />
<br />
I went back to the area where I dropped from the boat took numerous pictures, look for a Chinese restaurant.<br />

I took train back to the station near the hotel and asked the Chinese store owner beside the station, he told me to take this bus before 8 pm as after that there will be no more bus, I got to take cab back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I took the bus back and went to the emporium beside the hotel to buy some snacks and the golden beer, which were specially imported from Holland, at nearly 9 pm.</div>

What an amazing journey.</div>

<br />
She told us to organise 4 person to take a cab to the city as it was expensive to take the cab alone to the city centre, as our hotel was quite a distance from the city centre.<br />
<br />
I asked around but nobody want to go together and the tour director didn't want to organise a tour coach to bring us to the city centre and I don't want to waste the time flying so far to do nothing on the day.<br />
<br />
I went back to the hotel to pray earnestly.<br />
<br />
Next morning, I woke up early went to our breakfast, met up with 4 persons in the group, this time they agreed to go together, and walk around 10 minute to the Mass Rapid Transit. It was Friday I was surprised that the MRT was quite empty, and it was fully automatic, no staff was station there.<br />
<br />
Most of the population there speak Danish.<br />
<br />
We got to go to the retail outlet to buy the ticket, some distance away.<br />

After the cruise we took the MRT back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found out that I had left the gift that I had brought for my wife at the MRT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I came back to the hotel, my friend ask me to take the lunch at the hotel. The staff was slow as there was not enough staff there, I took the most expensive hamburger in my life, which cost me S$30.</div>
