Catch the trade winds in your sail!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Some years ago (17)
Date of entry: 24 June 1948
(The original entry was in Chinese. This is a translation)
Recently in Malaya there had been some security issues. In Johore there were gun-killing incidents. A European rubber estate manager was killed. The government issued emergency orders to address the situation. Every morning I buy meat from the pork seller in the market. He always treated me very well, often charging me less than others. This morning I was surprised to hear that he has been arrested. So far in Parit 6 persons had been arrested.
