Outdoor Wednesday: University of Windsor


We rented big American cars. One of them was Oldsmobile. We packed so many of us in it like sardines. Now I recall why I don't like journeies, my fun begins only when we arrive at the destination.





This photo is for you Ning and Wong, somehow, we went that trip without you.

The international students in Windsor university worked very hard. We had to, our parents paid for our expensive fees and accommodation. We were not allowed to work. So most of us did summer school.

Once in a while, we rented a car and went to unwind and have fun. For thise who could drive, these big American cars were a joy. I drove at home, but I am not very adventurous, I don't drive other people's car. Today, I avoid driving my husband's car.

My World Tuesday: University of Windsor, international day

When I was at the University of Windsor, I joined the Malaysian Indonesiian and Singapore Association, aka as MISSA. I was the assistant liaison officer, and secretary.

Once a year, we joined other nations in celebration of International Night. That year, I was part of the Candle dance. Can't remember who the others were, but it was a beautiful dance. We were young then in 1975-77.

I heard the steel drums from the Carribean for the first time.

Outdoor Wednesday: flolicking in the snow






I dug up my cold winter photos in the winter of 1975 when I was a student in Windsor, Canada. This school yard was behind the apartment I stayed. During the school break, school children flolick. These photos were taken during the holidays, and we went to try out this fun. A couple of Canadian kids were there to show us play.

That was my first ever winter. They reported it was the coldest ever recorded, a minus 28 degrees. A lot of melted snow had flowed under the bridge. I wonder where all those young men and women have gone. We were from Tropical Borneo and Singapore and were feeling very BRRRR!

If only I was young again, I would love the snow.
