A friend sent me a link to a site featuring oldies from the fifties till the eighties. Went into the site and at random, clicked 60-64 and the first tune was Alker Bilk's clarinet version of Stranger on the Shore. As I scrolled downwards, I found Andy Williams' The Village of St. Bernadette. Just curious, I clicked and found it was a song I have heard over and over again, more than 40 years ago, without bothering to find out the title!
What caught my attention was St. Bernadette, the name of the school in Batu Gajah where my two daughters studied and when I acted as chauffeur for a number of years. The sentimental part of it is still strong and fresh in my mind and each time I go to Pusing or Ipoh, I have to pass the school. The song also mentioned Ave Maria which is the name of another school in Ipoh where an old ex-classmate attended, so did a cousin of my girls. Lourdes is the name of a small medical centre in Jalan Ipoh, opposite the Sentul Police Station, K.L. where a former classmate is a doctor there. An old song can bring back so much memories!
