Besides the late Tan Sri Eric Chia and a few others whom I have mentioned in my other blog, I would be doing injustice to some others who were nice to us especially me if I do not mention about them.
Uncle Robin from Indonesia:
Robin often travelled Business Class with us. He was about 10 years my senior. He was a businessman and a generous one too.
I had served Robin a few times before we became friends. He told me he wanted to apply for PR in Singapore because he felt it was a safe place to live with his family.
I was invited once to have dinner with him in Melbourne. It was many years ago. I was night stopping in Melbourne then. Robin brought me to an exclusive Chinese restaurant in Mel China Town. On entering the restaurant, I noticed that Robin was a well known customer and a likable one too. All the waitresses and waiters welcomed him with opened arms, addressing him amicably as "Uncle Robin". After dinner, Uncle Robin tipped the staff generously. I was truly impressed.
I have lost contact with Robin but I hope he reads this blog.
Denis from Adelaide:
He was flying in the economy from Singapore to Melbourne. He asked for permission to visit his business partner in the first class cabin for a short while.
I agreed and he and his partner were very please with us.
On arrival at Mel, Denis and his partner invited me and my crew to a party in the latter's cabin cruiser (the next evening). We accepted the invitation and had a lovely time at the party. There were half dozen sexy blondies clad in bikinis serving us booze and seafood on the boat.
A few months later, when I was in Sydney, Denis invited me and my set of crew to a Chinese dinner. Denis drove a mini bus to the hotel and picked about a dozen of us. He gave us a nice dinner treat.
I've also lost contact with Denis and his partner. I hope all is well with them.
