Letter #35

6-June-1949

pp.144-148

TSU’s third child is born and is a girl and he is dissapointed (okay me TSU tv ngob tv ah jm)

her name is Bak Li and she is not so strong as the other 2

he consider 5 sons and 2 daughters as a perfect family, and so do the chinese

TSU says Weng Khim is very smart but misses Kim and Chaba alot

Weng Khim doesnt like Sai (I’m assuming shes the new nanny they hired)

Sai is not fond of children

Sai complains alot abt Weng Khim and how he is a pain the ass

Weng Khim made friend with the neighbor boy and he buy sweets from him

TSU is kinda mad at ME cz she gave money to Weng Khim to buy sweets and then he shared it to his baby sister

Anyway TSU took Weng Khim to visit Chaba and Kim like 2 weeks ago Saturday.

Kim and Chaba sell pork and vege at the market and chaba has a baby now (not a newborn)

the baby was a girl

Kim and TSU talked

TSU sensed that Kim has changed alot and didnt sound like his old self

TSU ask Kim if he still play lottery and if he still send money home

Kim say he still buy one lottery ticket but not like b4 (IDK what he mean by this)

Anyway Kim doesnt seem to want to chitchat with TSU so he told TSU to just drop off Weng Khim anytime and come pick him up

So TSU drop Weng Khim off and went to a gold shop to buy a gold bracelet and anklet for Chaba’s baby

Chaba is really grateful for the gift and touched

Weng Khim seems so happy to be with Kim and Chaba

the only solution to this is to enroll Weng Khim to school so he dun run away to find Kim and Chaba
