Grandfather story 1: the "House" that grandpa help build

Hi grandchildren,

Grandpa's classmate suggested I tell grandfather stories to you all, so here it is, Grandfather story no. 1: the "House" that grandpa help build:

ACS Harvard House sports day booth

Nice? Don't know but if grandpa's memory is OK, then I remembered this ACS (Anglo-Chinese School) Harvard House won first prize for the booth decoration (plus design?). And that "handsome" boy just directly under the letter V of the signboard HARVARD, that is your grandpa.

Also, if grandpa remembered correctly, grandpa also design the booth. However, grandpa is not very sure because a schoolmate (TLM) mentioned in a Facebook comment in our private ACS Facebook that her House was also Harvard and she had been involved in the booth design, so perhaps it is TLM who designed it.

More grandpa stories. Look at this AutoCAD drawing of the above booth (of course during grandpa's schooldays, AutoCAD have not been created yet. Anyway, look at the drawing:

ACS Harvard House design drawn with AutoCAD

 Compare the 2. However, there is every possibility that I remembered wrong and those straight lines (rafia string) that together forming a parabola was not done for the booth but for another sport event at the Kelab Shah Alam Selangor and it was actually grandpa's schoolmate TLM who did the original design.

This event grandpa cannot forget - while constructing the booth, grandpa fell from a ladder and the sharp bamboo cut grandpa's left hand from near the elbow to near the base of the palm which needed not a few stitches.

The scar is still visible on grandpa's left hand, starting from the elbow and becoming faint as to render it not visible as it nears the palm.

So thare you are grandchildren, that is grandpa's first grandfather story to write down here for when you grow up further to be able to understand what grandpa is writing about.
