My Mum. She is a graduate from Yale's School of Nursing :) But my Dad,
who has recently divorced her after nearly a decade of living apart, says
she's from the _Wang [/wong/] side of the family_
(My Mum comes from a Right-wing, neo-Confucianist, upper-class
Christianized family from Foochow. My Dad is a Sumatran-born
Cantonese-Indonesian liberal Christian socialist with more of a Southern
Chinese background of Buddhism and Taoism. They first met during the Japanese
Occupation of British-held Malaysia on the island of Penang, "Pearl of the
Orient.")

dysfunctional Asian family...
