When Elizabeth Poey discovered that she had cancer in 2008, her dream of writing a book about her life suddenly became an urgent item on her "To Do" list… and in 2010 when her cancer returned it occupied the number one slot on her "Bucket List".
In this book Elizabeth shares her experiences growing up in Singapore from the 1950's onwards. She records her teenage years and relationships with her extended family, dogs and above all her relationship with God.
Her beautifully recalled story is garnished with many colourful references to life in Singapore, the places, the language, the people… and of course the FOOD. Throughout the book, you will discover photographs of her life and the people closest to her.
As a highly spirited child, she was every teacher's nightmare until she grew up to become a teacher herself. Teacher training days were as fun as they were funny, and she graduated to become a fully trained PE teacher with many wonderful episodes over her 36 year career in education.
The author humbly describes her book as "an autobiography of a nobody", but as you will read, her life has touched and inspired many from her beginnings in a simple Singaporean village to the heights of the Himalayas.
This is I Elizabeth … but who cares? I know the answer. God does.
