Description
Yeh Yeh, or grandfather in Cantonese, is amazed by the rapt attention his four grandchildren give him whenever he flips through old family albums with them.
Moved by their interest, he decides to embark on a book chronicling his life across four generations. His wish is to create a tactile legacy, this collection of stories that his grandkids can read and reread, long after he is no longer around.
Born four months before British Malaya fell to the Japanese in World War II, Yeh Yeh’s earliest memories are of falling bombs and rattling windows.
Despite being raised with much British colonial influence-Sunday School, teatime at 4pm, and a taste for butter-Yeh Yeh’s formative years were also shaped by multicultural Malaysia, most evident in his vocabulary.
“Uncle Cowboy” is a poignant exploration of love and faith. Through Yeh Yeh’s recollections, the reader is invited to witness the transformative power of kindness, strength in adversity, and surrendering to the unknown.

True to the book, Uncle Cowboy is a LEGEND!
Yes, He was always quiet, but I know he’s wise.
He has always this cool persona that nobody can carry. But he carried it well.
Not to forget the family that he raised so beautifully and godfully.
Praise God for such a wonderful soul.
I can write on, but I better not waste space.
Love you Uncle Cowboy.
God will definitely bless you and your family for what a wonderful human being you have been.
Lots of love.
