Date: 28 March 1948
Easter holidays started on the 26th and will end on the 29th. I went to Ipoh at 1pm on 26th. Cousin was lying down on the canvas chair as usual. He was sleeping and I found he was depressed as if short of income.
I was in the Rex hotel the whole day long on 27.3.48. It being a Saturday, it was the first race day of the Turf Club Easter Meeting. I had a mind of going to have a view of the Race Course but owing to the lack 0f a badge I was unable to do so. At about 5pm I borrowed the tailor's bicycle and visited the Race Course. I stood outside the hedges nd witnessed the last race. This was the first time I visited the Ipoh Turf Club which in many respects resembles the Selangor Club. I went to see the picture (chinese character) at night.
I came back to Parit at 10.30 am this morning, having bought some beef, salt fish and a piece of dress for my second daughter. At the market at Ipoh this morning there were two young men selling tiger meat which looks exactly like beef. This was the first time I saw tiger meat.
On the way back to Parit while in the bus I wished I could be returning to Kuala Lumpur as early as possible for there I can live together with many of my friends and brethen, while in Parit I have to be contented by leading a solitary life.
Everyone in Rex wishes he could have luck by getting a prize in the unlimited Sweeps and so do I. Will this wish come true?
