About

I am a retired medical general practitioner. Graduated from Uni. NSW, Sydney, Australia in the 70’s. Before my retirement, at the age of 66 years, I attended a weekend course in MA English at Open University, Malaysia, and graduated with distinction. I have published three poetry books. The first is:  Flicking Flame: Poetic Echoes. (Partridge Publisher, Singapore). This book is hardly available in Malaysian and Singaporean book stores. I received no royalty and uncertain on the quantity sold. About a year later, I self published my second poetry book, Cloudscape and Landscape: Poetic Echoes, which  sold well at Rm 20 per copy, but publisher failed to copyright for me and had no ISDN.  My third poetry book was also self published in 2020 during the peak of COVID pandemic: “Healing Haiku & Senryu: Poetic Echoes to Soothe Hearts”. The cover design and edition were my responsibility, but the layout was done well  by Janice Chong and thankfully  had a copyright and ISDN. It is sold at Rm 35 per copy, Rm100 for 3 books. For 5 books and above, the postage is free within Malaysia.  I have enough poems for a fourth book, but wish for a publisher who has links with bookshops in Malaysia and Singapore.  A poet never retire, even though we may go through long period of darkness and hibernation, but always awake with inspiration, and a new rebirth.  I am bilingual. I enjoy reading, writing and gossiping with friends.

      Thanks Emu. I graduated from Uni NSW in the 70’s, with a MBBS. The fun with NSW was you had to pass a humanity subject every year.I did better in the humanities, incl medical psychology and community medicine.Looking forward for more interaction. My other Forum could be found: http://www.medicine.com.my or
      Dr. Lim Keng Huat MMR Forum. The blog is migrating to another site; that the reason I have to start mine.

      Thanks Ian. Philosophing on Meaning Of Life lasted for five years.There was a colleague who interacted with me in the last three years. Philosophising was based on what I had read over the years; godsib (or gossip) was how I lived. Each topic had received more than a hundred thousand clicks, and I had no idea who had visited, unless they commented. It’s a monologue most of the time. If there’s interest in the topic, with new interactions, I may start a forum in this blog.

    I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

    Hi, I wanted to thank you for the follow! Please be aware that my blog is a bilingual one. So you may get links to some poems in English as well as to some in Italian… Pictures, on the other hand, have no language barriers 😉
    Keep up the good work.

    Beginning anew with small traffic means you have got a long road ahead and
    lots of work to do. If searching for a high-quality non blog Word – Press theme,
    you have come to the right place.

    Good morning my friend, I do apologize, I have only just realized that it was you who rang me from Melbourne this morning, I wasn’t sure of the name, was expecting Wonkywizard, I do understand the distance prohibits a visit, but I wish you a great enjoyable time in Australia.
    I am so sorry for not recognizing you and hence lose the chance to speak.
    My kind regards to you and your family.

      My daughter brought her three young children, 8 yr +, 4+, and 2 + for the trip. We tagged along to take care of the kids during the travel. The eldest went with our friend to watch Aussie football, supporting Bulldog. All of us have a good time in Melbourne. On the first day in Melbourne, there was attempted break-in into my house during the day, and the doors were damaged, but could not entered. For the first week, the weather was too cold and windy for us.
