Adrian Boudville – 2 Birthdays and A Golden Anniversary

Adrian celebrated his 80th birthday and Helen her 74th seen with their son Edmund

It was in late July when I received a call from Adrian Boudville inviting me to attend his 80^th birthday as well as his Golden Wedding Anniversary.

On the day of the celebration another birthday was added that of Adrian’s wife Helen who would be celebrating her 74^th birthday.

Well the more the merrier as they say and it was just that with family and friends coming from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Singapore, UK, Australia and Sweden.  

With Adrian and Helen, son Edmund who was the Master of ceremonies, his two children Ashley and Cedric and daughter Aileen it was a most joyous occasion.

Our families have been close. Adrian’s mother Marianne Boudville was my Godmother and even though their family members had settled in different parts of the world we kept in touch.

On occasions such as this all would return to Ipoh to celebrate on this event. 

Joining to make the occasion auspicious was HH the Raja Muda of Perak Tuanku Jaffar and other old friends and ‘kakis’ of Adrian from his days with the automobile associations of the Royal Perak Motor Club and the Triumph Owners Club being present.

The Knife Seller

This gentleman who sold knives or mainly pointed and sharp items like scissors. 
Taken in the 80's at the lane parallel to Perak Emporium now Sew Cheong Corporation. Think they called it 'Thieves Market' then but now the Municipality shifted the place and calls the place 'Memory Walk' located at Horley Street.

Different Shades Of SUKMA

The open space, greenery all around and its me and my challenge 140 meter ahead.

Balance, strength, flexibility, agility and coordination is all that is needed after I’ve developed the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest and abdominal muscle groups.

SUKMA - 50 Gold Medal Target Can We Meet It

Perak had set a target of 50 Gold medals for SUKMA 19.

As at 5pm yesterday the tally was 30 gold and with the end of the games literally over a day away are we nearing the goal?

At the 2016 18^th SUKMA held at Sarawak we garnered 12 gold and before that at Perlis for the 17^th Games in 2014 games we managed 24 gold.

Our highest haul to date was at the 2002 games at Sabah where we scored 49 gold. Keeping our fingers crossed.

Perak Wins Gold At SUKMA Football

Muhammad Asyraaf runs overjoyed after scoring Perak's 2nd goal

Perak won gold at the SUKMA finals of football when Muhammad Asyraaf (no7 jersey) placed the second goal at the back of the net in the 71^st minute and sealed the game for Perak.

Muhammad Asyraaf before and after the goal

I guess I have to thank Kedah’s Fadzrul Danel for scoring the 1^st goal of the night at the 64^th minute. The scoreless first half had made me lose focus till his goal made me sit up and concentrate but not fast enough for Perak’s equalizer three minutes later.

Half time & scoreless in a packed stadium filled with anticipation 

That made me ready (thank goodness) for Perak’s second goal. The rest of the match which really was praying that Kedah would score again or as my neighbor sitting next to me would say ‘bahaya, bahaya’ each time Kedah was at the Perak goal box.

Bahaya, 'Red Shirts' Kedah in the Perak goal box

The rest is all about euphoria and for some agony.

they sang ...

jumped for joy ....

....while others could not get over it 

other cheered in the stands...

on the ground ....

...in the changing room 

all together as one .... Perak

We Are The Champions .

Wow! Kita Hebat.
