Ching Neng Bin was happy to meet a former colleague Mr Law Kim Choon since 1981 (41 years ago) when both were working at Public Bank, Lebuh Bishop Branch, Penang. Finding an old friend is like finding a lost treasure and time flies so fast it seems like it was yesterday. From the moment we met in the parking lot to the hike to the top of the hill, we both had a lot to catch up with in our lives. Unfortunately, Mr Law Kim Choon had to go back as he had a dinner to attend.
