Since being thrilled by my mother's telling of the stories about Ah Gong, I was inspired to arrange for a video recording of --- you guessed it --- more stories!
About a month ago I spent a morning walking around the neighbourhood I grew up in (Kim Tian Road, Singapore) with my mum, videoing her talking about where she had lived in the past 50 years, basically on both sides of the canal beside her present apartment block. It was fun and nostalgic, and simply amazing watching her recall minuscule details of who, what, where and when... even the why (or her version anyway!).
More to come...
