Fambul Tik
A Blog created to fulfill my long-held dream of building an anecdotal family history. We need to stay linked and this blog can help. From time to time I'll ask for everyone to write on a topic such as "my first day at school" or "my biggest embarrassment" and hope that through the responses of the different generations and different locations we can all get a better sense of each other. Our first subject is, "THIS IS A SNAPSHOT OF ME."

Hi Les
Thanks for sending me the links. I had the original message when you set everything up but it came in the middle of one of our hotspots I think. I came across this Blogging thing very recently (through you) and through looking up an artist I was trying to trace who I’d worked with at Black Mime. Actually I’ll give you the link as her work might interest you – if I can find it!
Back to yours – loving it
Fambultik – Brill! - funny that I was talking to Onie just the other day about the importance of belonging to exactly that sort of unit/extended unit. We have our hopes for Johari & co and their future!!! Something I have never known despite being one of 29 first cousins on my dad’s side. The others were mostly older and never really had much time for D and me. I just loved reading that surprise slant on the funeral because Onie left me a very downbeat voicemail message when you guys were setting off from home at the weekend and I immediately thought – must be the funeral. So what a nice surprise. Lovely writing too -brought it all alive and the bottom line is that the piece left me with such a good feeling and a ‘how nice to know these folks though we’re not related!!!’
Also enjoyed the Patamboi story – I’ll continue to log on or blog in or whatever one is supposed to do. Not sure whether or when I might have the confidence to post a proper comment. The idea makes me feel rather exposed which is why I’ve never tended to do these things but hey – you may just inspire me …
Love to you all and oh – meant to say – how exciting to hear about Annie – she sounds lovely
