+ The picture on the left was probably taken thereabouts of 1965-67. The boy on the left is my brother Sonny, perched on a little swing at the verandah of my old house in Tranquerah [note the Terrazo tiling] next to the elder of my two sisters, Mei Ai. As I s-l-o-w-l-y go about scanning my family's photo albums, here's the product of the first round of my admittedly languid efforts to archive old family photographs on the web. If this page's layout is rather stoic, it's only to allow me the ease of updating and adding more photos in the weeks, err, months to come.

+ The file size of the pictures here are slightly larger compared to my other photo pages, so expect slower download speeds. Since this page also serves as a web archive for my relatives, I've gone for higher quality JPEG compression and picture resolution.

+ You may have noticed a conspicuous absence of one particular Lim family member in this round of scans. Before speculation about my parentage arises, rest assured, I will appear later, and in colour too, as my birth marked the end of a monochrome world.

+ Eventually I see this page expanding and spinning off various sub-categories. I would much appreciate it if you could come back to me with feedback and reports of errors or complaints [including aggrievances with regards to design, scan quality, cropping, download speeds, link indexing] at dan.lim@lycos.com or my office email for those who know. If there's something wrong with a particular page, note the page title [found at the top left hand corner of your browser window] in your email.
