William Chong

I’ve suddenly disappeared from regular activities in Auckland this coming week – but don’t be alarmed!

I’m sitting in a gate lounge waiting for a flight to My hometown of Kuching, Malaysia.

I haven’t been back since 2006, when my mother passed away. This time round I’m off to look after my father who’s a bit worse for wear with an unresolved illness. With grace, I’ll be able to help improve his condition and facilitate some of his business affairs so that he’s able to fly back and join the concerned Chong clan in Auckland.

It’s a patient and hopeful wait.

In the meantime, allow me to use some of my free time over the next few days to introduce you readers to Kuching, the township I was born in.

Take care everyone.
