It was summer holidays-my last Summer holiday before i leave the country,Britain.
19 June1989.
It was the second week of Summer Holidays after my final exam.Woke up late on monday morning. Went to bank to buy the travellers cheque valued GBP50. I couldnot recall why i wanted the travellers cheque.It was a surprise that i received an application form for the part-time job that i applied earlier. the job was related to the coming event which took place in the city of London. It was the tall ship events in conjuction with the 800th anniversary (1189-1989)City of London:Lord Mayor.
20June1989
I played table-tennis in Barking followed by the real tennis (the cement court) in the afternoon at East Ham. My coursemate, Samin called and asked about my activities. Actually, we intended to go Europe in the next few weeks.
21June1989
It was like a crash course for me to learn tennis. This time, i had the chance to play tennis with Samin.It was a bad Wednesday for Londoners as London Transports was on strike again. i could not recall how many times the strike occurred on Wednesdays in the year 1989. It was about the money that they wanted like salary increment, additional perks for the staff. But the best part is that the strike was made known to public in advance for them (especially the workers) be ready to find alternative mode of transport to work or make a day off.
22June1989
Went to Haniff's house, my malaysian friend who studied at LSE.He was preparing to move to another new house.
24June1989
Received a letter.I got the part time job which i wanted badly to earn some money for my Summer Holidays. Have to report to work in the following week for 2 weeks. Shon came to my house and as usual without fail, i continued my "tennis lesson" with him- that time. FKA called me to inform about her plan to travel Europe in the following week.
25June1989
It was a beautiful and sunny Sunday. My house mates,Mahfiz and i went to Kew Gardens for a picnic. Not forgetting, someone brought the radio (even not allowed in the public park for listening loudly). We brought sandwiches and cookies too. Kew Gardens was known for its green. A very big and huge garden where we can find the tropical plants like coconut tree, banana tree in their special Summer Garden. In the museum, you can find the rubber tree which was introduced in Malaya in early days of British occupation. Remember: Who brought the rubber tree to Malaya (must open History book).
