Update 28th October, 2009 from Francis Lim, 60 hrs to the Gathering

Okay for latest updates.

Loy Chee Yu has found Chee Keng Poh and Chin Loy Onn. Both Keng Poh and Loy Onn are joining us. Keng Poh will bring his wife and two children. I spoke to Loy Onn last night and he said he is coming alone. Mossadeq has found Azhar who will also join us . Robert Som Sai Cheong also confirmed Azhar is coming. Robert has volunteered to be the traffic warden so call him at 0193362443 if you are lost. Mohd Nor will bring his wife, daughter and two grandchildren. Anyone with great grand children? Joon Say confirmed Dr Yap Hock Kee will join us. Dr Yap just called me to ask for directions.

Roland informed Jolly Kiang is not able to take leave so he can’t join us. I understand Mok will try to locate Foo Pok Boo whose family house is just doors away from Mok’s house.

Isa regrets he still can’t make it and Joon Say has sent him a heart rending plea that we are all meeting because of him. He return last year, look up the telephone directory, found Joon Say and we met. That meeting spawned the idea of a reunion for this year. Koh Pah is also encouraging Isa to make it. Kim Meng maybe you can give a reply to MiSA’s great message to you and he may come just because of you.

Roland has reported that 7 teachers will join. Nellie Khoo, Gan Chui Peng, Audrey Lim, Ng Sin Min, Phoot Kok Long, Jee Kim Joon and Oh Kim Hin have confirmed. Michael Rodrigues will try. Peter Yong Swee Onn is leaving for the UK on the same day.

Sue Lin found Lai Sam Hoo but Sam Hoo cant join us. I called Sam Hoo on Monday night and he reconfirmed that he can’t make it. Lai Sam Hoo’s house no is +6567892339 and mob is +6597429316. Anyone can try to convince him to thumb a lift from Sue Lin to join us this Saturday?

Boon Siew is torn between joining us or not joining us. He says even if he cud join us he has to be back in Kiwiland by 3 Nov. Any of you can help to convince our Boon Siew to join us? Chandra and I have tried. There must be one of us who knows what can make him come. David Samuel Ong, can you?

Koh Pah met up with Simon Gan Chin Hock many years ago. Chin Hock it seems made his millions shortly after he left school but has his sad story to tell. Koh Pah is trying to track Chin Hock and if found we can hear the story from the horse’s mouth. Koh Pah has also narrated Sree Dharan’s sad story.

Melaka Hari Ini reported our event last Sunday. I understand NST will report our event tomorrow. Kim Meng is promoting the website for the alumni and he will sponsor it for two years. He is looking for our support in the form of financial sponsor and moderating the articles.

So the people joining will be:

Benny n wife(2) , Chandra n wife (4) , kohpah (5), pang boon (6),hionglim n wife(8), chiensiong (9), naim(10), mdnor n wife(12), kamal (13), prabha(14), chekmin(15), kimseet(16), sweekim(17), yewkay(18) Dr yap hock kee(19), william(20),ramly(21),david n wife(23), Joonsay (24), kimong(25),saicheong(26),cheeyu(27),teckfatt(28), chaikoon(29), mossadeq(30), Othman( 31), Tian Hu (32), Hee Mun (33), Lai Ching Chong (34), Wong Tian (35), Lim Hock Beng n co (37) Loy Choy Yin (38), Toh Joon Wah (39), Jimmy Chong (40) (Class 75, was a cymbalist in our cadet band), Mustazar Mohd (41) (left for RMC College in Form 4) h/phone :012-3912232 , Syed Omar n co(43) (h/phone : 019-2712356).

Roland has booked one room for Chee Keng Poh and his family (two adults and two children) and one bed for Liang Cheow (as requested by Sue Lin). I think Roland is also booking for Md Nor.

Lee Garden is a brand new café with rooms for lodging carved out of an old bungalow and is convenient for those who want to wine and dine and chit chat after which just walk to the room to sleep.

Still missing are Zainal Abidin, Chong Chin Soon,Law Hock Long, Lim Aun Wei, Juma’at,, Abdullah Hashim, Chan Heng Chuan, Bock Hong Chin, etc…..Its good the missing list is getting shorter. Folks we only have two days left to add to the missing list and to locate our lost friends. Please help to add and help to locate.

As this is our last lap, please let us know if the above confirmation are not correct. Also those who need accommodation to be arranged, please let us know.

Class Reunion, its a must come

Good friends are like stars..........

You don't always see them, but you know they are always there'

'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live today' ?

? How quickly the years pass...



?
Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from work, that might need a reason to smile!
?
Life is short! ?Break the rules! ?
Forgive quickly! ?Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably..
And never regret anything that made you smile.
