More Ipoh Stories
Sorry for the long, long dealy in posting this. I have one more video to post that my sister took several months ago when she was out in Singapore, and I also have a few pictures I'd like to post. Again, if you have any pictures or stories you'd like to share with everyone, please email me (mbedard.hearn@gmail.com) or leave them in the "comments" section below. Enjoy!

Tony, Liz, and Erma Relive the Good Old Days
Tony, Margaret, Liz, & Erma discuss when Tony came to live with the Soongs on Orchard Road in Singapore and also about leaving the toilet seat up. Tony was "like a big brother" to the Soong girls, taking them to the movies on weekends. Tony tells how Liz was the "jewel" of the family and Beryl was the difficult one. Tony and Liz also talk about the time she was pushed down a flight of stairs and broke her arm. The kids that come in are Tony and Margaret's grand children.
Erma Talks about her Husband, C.C. Soong
Grandma talks about meeting the love of her life at the "floor show." Video taken on 25 May 07. Sorry the sound is so crummy in certain parts, but the fan was on in the Kitchen and it was hot in Singapore!

Black Chicken Recipe
This one is for my older brother, who doesn't know the difference between Black Chicken and Chicken Rice. Grandma explains...
Children and Mahjong
Grandma talks about her three daughters and playing mahjong. The video opens with Grandma talking about her daughter Liz, and ends abruptly as Erma's grand-daughter arrives to play mahjong! Note also how Erma says first that her daughter Beryl was the best mahjong player (after already saying that Liz was the best), then says that Beryl was the worst. Priceless. Video taken in December 2006.
