"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he'd learned in seven years." - Mark Twain
Hey, Mr Twain? I think for me it happened the other way 'round. :p

came across this quote recently, thought I'd share, since it resonated, despite having the wrong parent and totally off ages... but the idea is still there... *grin!*
'laters!
oo..ok...thnx for d 'pre-demolish' pics... I was reading the paper today in the net n the pics only after they demolished... and I was wondering.which house was this.
ReplyDeleteObviously lah... later .. when u see another tall bulding on tht land you'll know who bought it.. and maybe the house will 'haunt' the bulding..:-P
Neome> hey you comment on the "wrong" post? heeehehehee! Anyways - yeah, kinda scary that people don't immediately know about Bok House / Le Coq D'Or... but that's typical Asian/Malaysian for ya - not so appreciative about the past... even I'm like that, maaaah,,, but still, this building has been in the middle of town since 1929!! :-( We'll see lah what sort of horror gets built on that piece of land, that will contribute to even worse traffic in the area....
ReplyDeleteMark Twain, brilliant dude.
