I grew up in Jalan Besar, specifically the first 9 years of my life. Single in a Peranakan house, 8 of them in a towering apartment with a pair of stone lions on watch. Nursery classes, daily prayers and fried rice at Hinghwa Methodist Church. Watching the Lions train for the Malaysia Cup. NFL matches. Long walks known in kid speak as "
gai gai". Sambal belacan ikan bilis.


Wonderful Atmosphere here at Jalan Besar. I wore my lucky blue jersey with the imprint of the legendary Fandi.




Qiu Li is my man of the moment. Look at the way he kisses the Singapore flag. Surely his heart is in this land, never mind where he was born.
