Of Navarone, Road Runner and a Promise to my Late Father


My late father's favorite movie was the Guns of Navarone, which was filmed in several locations around the Greek Island of Rhodes. I recall him watching it over and over again together with us during my school holidays. Fond childhood memories of my late father waking us up in the morning on weekends, as he imitated the Road Runner iconic "Beep Beep" calls whilst drawing the curtains open to let in the morning sun into our room where all 5 of my sisters slept. He would allow us to watch Looney Tunes cartoons, on weekends where we fell in love with characters such as Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, and of course Wile E Coyote and Road Runner. 
Family treat at A&W in Segamat, Johor during Chinese New Year. My late father had brought us to the original A&W in Petaling Jaya during the days when he was marking examination papers in KL way back in the 1980s.

Completing my MBA Online Distance Learning program whilst working and being financially independent and taking care of my elderly mother and family, would help me to honour my promise to him.
