Almost forgot. On Tuesday, August 1, visited Jalan Maktab. After 27 years. No. 2 Son just moved office to UTM here. I left Jalan Maktab the last day of December 1990.
Had him pick me up at Damai LRT, and went for early (12 p.m.) lunch at "Bismillah" Jalan Gurney. ("Bismillah" was there from 1969 also). Then visited his new work-place at UTM, Jalan Maktab branch. In fact today was his first day, and the assigned office was still bare. There were a few people about, but they just ignored us. So No. 2 Son showed me around the empty rooms, with unarranged brand new furniture and boxes of equipment strewn about, unopened. This is his sixth or seventh job, I've lost count, but at least he's holding a more senior post (and the suitable incremental stipend, hopefully).
I just suggested that he gets a bigger room and an assigned parking space, appropriate with his position. Once that happens, he's to call me and we'll have lunch at "Impiana Hotel". "Just don't tell your brother" (No. 1 Son). He'll find an excuse to disappear.
