Born in Malacca in 1834, he came to Singapore and joined Boustead, an English trading company, as a storekeeper. At the tender age of 22, he was made Chief Storekeeper, and was able to buy himself a house on Telok Ayer Street – and another one on Amoy Street for good measure. An astute property investor, Chia continued to acquire much real estate in the course of his life, including a large nutmeg plantation which soon became known as Ann Siang Hill.Chia Ann Siang died in 1892, leaving a fortune that supported two generations of his family and educated a third. This book looks at the disparate fortunes of his descendents, including a son he disinherited for marrying against his wishes, and a daughter whose marriage brought together two of Singapore’s wealthiest families.Far more than a biography, this is the fascinating story of eight generations of Straits Chinese, from the emigration of Chia’s grandfather from Fujian to Malacca in 1774, right up to the present day.

Tibet: through the Red Box

from RM50.17 MYR

Unit price: per

A father's diary, an artist's memoir. By the author of the best-selling Three Golden Keys. While my father was in China and Tibet, he kept a diary, which was later locked in a red box. We weren't allowed to touch the box. The stories I heard as a little boy faded to a hazy dream, and my drawings from that time make no sense. I cannot decipher them. It was not until I myself had gone far, far away and received the message from my father that I became interested in the red box again . . . In New York, Peter Sis receives a letter from his father. "The Red Box is now yours," it says. The brief note worries him and pulls him back to Prague, where the contents of the red box explain the mystery of his father's long absence during the 1950s. Czechoslovakia was behind the iron curtain; Vladimir Sis, a documentary filmmaker of considerable talent, was drafted into the army and sent to China to teach filmmaking. He left his wife, daughter, and young son, Peter, thinking he would be home for Christmas. Two Christmases would pass before he was heard from Vladimir Sis was lost in Tibet. He met with the Dalai Lama; he witnessed China's invasion of Tibet. When he returned to Prague, he dared not talk to his friends about all he had seen and experienced. But over and over again he told Peter about his Tibetan adventures. Weaving their two stories together - that of the father lost in Tibet and that of the small boy in Prague, lost without his father - Sis draws from his father's diary and from his own recollections of his father's incredible tales to reach a spiritual homecoming between father and son. With his sublime pictures, inspired by Tibetan Buddhist art and linking history to memory, Peter Sis gives us an extraordinary book - a work of singular artistry and rare imagination. This title has Common Core connections. Tibet Through the Red Box is a 1999 Caldecott Honor Book and the winner of the 1999 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Special Citation.

Asrei was a toddler when the Khmer Rouge killed her father. In prison shortly after, she fell asleep in her mother's arms and woke to find her gone for ever. Daughter of the Killing Fields tells how Asrei (Theary Seng) spent her early years passed from one set of relatives to another, amidst a backdrop of soldiers, landmines, inadequate refugee camps and unrelenting death. Confronted by a sea of human suffering from the age of three, she soon learnt that 'life is just a breath'. This is the powerfully haunting story of how Asrei, her brothers, aunts and uncles managed to survive, eventually emigrating to the West. It begins and ends 21 years later, as Asrei confronts the man she holds 'accountable for the death of my parents, and for the blood of 1.7 million others'.'Theary Seng, a young Khmer-American lawyer, experienced the full horror of the Pol Pot regime (1975-1979) when she was a child in her native Cambodia. In this compelling, clear-headed memoir, she exhibits all the courage and resilient street smarts of a true survivor while relating the story of almost incomprehensible sufferibg and loss.' - David Chandler, author of Brother Number One[back cover text]

Unit price: per

5: You learn that boys and girls fall in love. Incredible!13: When will your parents learn? Not in front of your friends.36: A dream came true, but it feels different than you thought.45: Do you like yourself as you are?75: You learn to unlearn things. Can you still do a somersault?86: Everything can be different in every moment. How does our perception of the world change in the course of a lifetime? When Heike Faller's niece was born she began to wonder what we learn in life, and how we can talk about what we have learnt with those we love. And so she began to ask everyone she met, what did you learn in life? Out of the answers of children's writers and refugees, teenagers and artists, mothers and friends, came 99 that those who have had a difficult time appreciate the good moments more. That those who have had it easy find it harder getting old. That a lot of getting old is about accepting boundaries. And of course, as one 94 year old said to her, 'sometimes I feel like that little girl I once was, and I wonder if I have learned anything at all.' A bestseller in Germany, HUNDRED is a book given by children to grandparents and the other way around, for christenings and Mother's days, significant birthdays and times of celebration. With every age beautifully illustrated by Valerio Vidali, Hundred cannot simply be read because, like life itself, it must be experienced.

Eric Hansen

Motoring With Mohammed - Journeys To Yemen And The Red Sea

Regular price ~~RM10.33 MYR~~ from RM7.31 MYR Save up to 40%

Unit price: per

In 1978 Eric Hansen found himself shipwrecked on a desert island in the Red Sea. When goat smugglers offered him safe passage to Yemen, he buried seven years' worth of travel journals deep in the sand and took his place alongside the animals on a leaky boat bound for a country that he'd never planned to visit.As he tells of the turbulent seas that stranded him on the island and of his efforts to retrieve his buried journals when he returned to Yemen ten years later, Hansen enthralls us with a portrait -- uncannily sympathetic and wildly offbeat -- of this forgotten corner of the Middle East. With a host of extraordinary characters from his guide, Mohammed, ever on the lookout for one more sheep to squeeze into the back seat of his car, to madcap expatriates and Eritrean gun runners- and with landscapes that include cities of dreamlike architectural splendor, endless sand dunes, and terrifying mountain passes, Hansen reveals the indelible allure of a land steeped in custom, conflicts old and new, and uncommon beauty.
