Malik Addressing the Swimmers, or is it singing ?
Sanya Samaki Bangkok Story (Part 1)
----------------------------------------------------
In Dec 1973, we had travelled to Bangkok for the meet with the Royal Bangkok Sports Club.My Mum was chaperone to a number of girls and boys, and she asked her colleague Maria to join us. I was a cheeky 13 year old then. Maria was a pretty 20 something Malay or Boyanese lady and she was a real sport.
During our arrival, I noticed a Thai man, our driver I think had taken a liking to Maria. He was always smiling at her and would make eye contact with us and especially her.
Me, Kelvin Wee, Wong Ken Tuin and Felix Cheong
So, one day, after we had finished the swim competition for the day, I casually told Maria that there was a visitor at the door of our room (we were bunking in and just monkeying around at that time). Maria was curious and said "who would want to see me ? I am just a tourist on a group tour with Anna and the boys ? ".
She went to the door, and there was the driver smiling at her sheepishly. Earlier I had gone down to tell him, she wanted to meet him at the room, and then I bolted upstairs. When Maria opened the door, she literally jumped out of her skin "Aaaaah !", there was a lot of awkward blushing and I literally ran and hid myself and rolled around the floor with so much laughter.

At the end, they discovered it was me who had pulled the prank and the ladies had to tell the confused man to go away and then they proceeded to give me a good telling off.
I just wanted to look at the expression on Maria's face.
It was priceless.
Carpe Diem.
