HAPPY GO LUCKY - posted by Aus Pilot on 09/07/2009 @ 9.16am

Tali's an ex-class mate of mine and we were friends since the early 70's. That's a long time. Tali's the first amongst us who became a grandfather; and this was an incredible feat. No matter what happens no one can take that away from him.

Throughout his youth Tali's been a happy-go-lucky sort of person, he was always playful but not over board. He always adopted an attitude that things would work out in the end. Sure enough things did work out for him in life. A beautiful family, kids that adore him, home in Ipoh, friends around him, a business he's re-building. If ever one wants a can-do person one will find it in Tali.

Tali's Blog will be one of self-discovery and I hope he finds joy in writing his diary and finds solace and fulfillment in it. I hope he writes something about his school life so I can re-live some of the past. I still remember he was amongst the first to ride a motor bike to school whilst we were biking, and he was an active member of the school brass band, an able trombonist(?). He also busied himself with his red crescent activities, so pretty much an all-rounder.

Tali and us have found the first 50 years of our lives rolled by pretty quickly. A life as in anyone else, is filled with all the bitter sweet moments..... No one can guarantee what will happen in the next 5 days let alone the next 50 years but Tali's attitude is come what may, I will be happy!

To this end I wish Tali all the good luck he needs, knowing that good luck is created by people who are willing to work for it. I sincerely hope one day in the near future that Tali will be able to fulfill his dream of having a happy place open to all his friends to meet and have a relaxed time with a welcome drink! I know I will be there.
