About the Book
These are extracts of activities, events, and challenges of living from the 1940s to the present day in 2017—a span of seventy-two years experienced by C. S. Po. He recollects memories of his young days—from the communist insurgence from 1948 to 1960 to the racial riots of 1969 in the Malaysian peninsula. He shares his experiences on some paranormal phenomena arising from cultural beliefs and practices that have intrigued and indeed mystified him and have remained unexplained over the years. He relates his emigration to Melbourne to face new challenges and savor Australia’s mateship, happy hours, and odd work practices in the 1980s and 1990s, which have been progressively eroded over the years. Further, he mentioned his simple, effective response to counteract racial taunts at work and in the streets of Melbourne. Through highlighting some heart, bladder, kidney, and other health issues, he alludes to be cautious in the use of certain medications, contrasting dye, and chemotherapy that can adversely affect kidney functions from his personal experience and observations. He has adopted a lifelong philosophy of experience with no regrets, and this book includes many near-death situations that he faced in his life and is happy, glad, and contented that he has had his fair share of “nine lives.”
