Hotpot 可唔可以當一個字?
Was amazed to find this old telegram when sorting through my father’s things at home. My parents had kept it all these years! When I saw it, the old childhood memory flooded back.
The date was 26 September 1958. My father was still practising as a lawyer in Lee & Lee. He was in Sibu (Sarawak) doing some cases, and was expected home. He sent this telegram to Lee & Lee (whose telegraph address was KYLEGAL SINGAPORE). It read simply “ARRIVING TODAY BATTLESHIP = LEEKUANYEW”.
My mother did not understand the message. Was my father coming home on a battleship? The Lee & Lee secretary called the British Naval Base at Sembawang to check if any battleship was arriving from Sarawak, but they knew nothing about it.
My father did arrive home that day, but not by battleship. He explained that he wanted steam boat for dinner, but as “steam boat” was two words, and telegrams were charged by the word, he wrote “battleship” instead, to save words and money! Sadly, since we had not understood the message, we did not have steam boat for dinner that night. :) - LHL

Chị thực sự không ngờ bài chia sẻ về học bổng Singapore hôm nay lại nhận được nhiều sự quan tâm như thế. Xin tặng mọi người câu nói của Lý Quang Diệu người kiến tạo Singapore và được toàn thể người dân ở đây vô cùng kính trọng, yêu quí.
"To the young and to the not-so-old, I say, look at that horizon, follow that rainbow, go ride it."
Có bạn nào muốn nghe chị kể thêm chuyện ở Singapore không? Cuối tuần này thứ 7 page mình sẽ off các bạn ở Singapore đó.
