The Milky Way

As Chinese customs typically go, we wax lyrical about the importance of milk for infants and then lose the plot somewhere around age 5 when chocolate drinks seem to take precedence. Maybe it was cost or just simple convenience but somehow, our love affair with milk came to an abrupt end. So it was for me.

To the average schoolboy though, the occasional sight of the Dutch Lady truck entering our school gates was a sweet delight, chocolate and strawberry flavoured to be more precise! The queue to the truck snaked some distance and I wonder if the prospect of skipping Mrs Goh’s English torture chamber added to the motivation... ah milk!

Milk had some lessons in life for me too. The reality that Woon Kang Chien could buy a whole carton while I walked away with three is not lost. Lesson in life #121 – need to save up for milk *wink*!
