Remember Mdm Chow Ai Hwa? She is the old lady who was against the en-black sale of her flat because she had lived in that flat for many years and she wanted to hold on to the memories of her life with her late husband. She took it court and fought the case herself. Unfortunately she lost. I take my hat of to her for fighting for her values and her rights. I think she was fearless. That fearlessness comes with age.

I was told another story involving another old lady. This happened in Vancouver. An old lady, driving a flashy convertible, was trying to park her car when a young man , very quickly, cut into her space and parked his car. The old lady continued reversing her car into the lot and banged right into the young man’s car. And then she got out of her car, went to the young man and told him” Young man you may have youth on your side but I have more money”. Now that too comes with age.
