Hmmm....something worth a mention.
Last thursday, was meeting my father and I made that angmoh boi tag
along cos i tought to introduce him to father and hopefully father
can take on that lost boi as a apprentice in his business.
Father's business involved building shipyards, repairing fishing
boat engines and buy and sell generators to negotiating for gold
sand digger ships & timber.
Father dont want me involved in the business because he felt that
its no place for a female. The only female in these oily, dirty,
rough & tumble industry was a old fiesty lady with lots of
capital support and strong macho backings.
and no matter what, females in the shipping engineering business
has still some kind of taboo. (mind you, there is still malaysian
kelongs that will refuse females from boarding their
kelongs.)
So I tot to bring him a apprentice who will also need his help to
venture out into a new work environment.
ANYWAY......I was being lor soh.....
Father and angmoh boi chit chatted and it turns out his late mother
was a peranakan. From Malacca.
Father then mentioned that one of our grandmothers is also
peranakan from Malacca.
No wonder my sister has brown hair and light brown eyes.
Though all of us looks distinctly chinese/japanese.
