The Nite Where 6 hours Was Not Enough...

2012-02-09T13:02:00.000+08:00

44 alumni plus some of their spouses and love ones had made it to this special event dedicated to the friendship we forged during our formative teenage years some 40+/30+ years ago.
We do not need to say more to describe the atmosphere and the feelings of those present (see video). After all we are a bunch of caring and loving ex-schoolmates who treasure friendships and would like to bring back those memories for many years to come.

On behalf the organizing committee, I would like to thank for your support and participation. Please help spread the word especially to those are not part of this forum. Until then, we shall meet in 3 years time..... Of course besides your other individual get together, kopi time, children’s weddings, etc.

Cheers ,

10 People, 5 Couples making 1 Great Valentine dinner together

2009-02-14T19:39:00.000+08:00

Billy, SinSiew, Cheong Seng, Malai Wang and I have invited our wives to celebrate a Valentine wine and dine on 14 Feb 2009. A rare occasion for most of us who are not that "romantic" and almost forgotten what Valentine meant for us. It turned out to be a pleasant evening with fine France wines, delicious international cuisine, lots of laughter, and feeling goooood.

Regards,

Jackson Tan

Friends In Time

2009-01-26T22:28:00.003+08:00

Times of your life …

January 26, 2009 … 1st day of Chinese New Year … time for reunion with family and loved ones … time for the joyful gathering of friends … time for sharing and catching up with each other … time for leaving beautiful memories in each others’ lives … times of your life and mine.

For many of us, the last time we saw each other was after our MCE in 1979. Yes, whilst we were still “teenagers”. On January 26, 30 plus of us gathered at Sunset Lounge, Palm Resort for a reunion dinner 30 years later. As with the meeting of good old friends, we shook each others’ hands heartily and gave each other huge bear hugs, and guess what, the ladies even received a stalk of rose, courtesy of the guys! With that, we started an evening of a mix of “those good ol’ days” and “the past 30 years” and counting blessings along the way. One of the highlights of the evening was of course the viewing of old photos which brought many fond memories (and drew laughter) of our younger days such as our school, our classmates and our various outings, all laboriously put together in 3 video clips. There was also a viewing a video clip taken in the evening itself.

Two missions were successfully completed that evening. One was the mini donation drive to help with the start-up of the 24 Festive Drum Troupe at SIS Kulai and we managed to raise RM2,500. Second was the membership drive for our SIS Alumni which also saw new registrations.

As with all reunions, we wined and dined and laughed and shared through the night, with some in our midst entertaining us with jokes, stories and impromptu cat-walk performances (a proof that many of us are still very much young-at-heart and fun-loving) and this continued long after the tables were cleared.

Yes, many of us were glad we were able to make it for the gathering and we went away with additional (laugh) lines on our faces, with renewed friendships and thankful hearts, with memories of a lovely evening and a DVD each. Well, I did.

If you were not able to join us that night for whatever reason and thus was not “featured” in any of our video clips taken that night, do make special effort to join us … in 3 years’ time. See you then! Meanwhile, God bless, take care and stay joyful and healthy!

Walk Down The Memory Lane

2009-01-26T19:30:00.011+08:00

The more we get together
当我们同在一起
如果云是天空的呼吸；风是我慌张的叹息。
回忆是爱的延续；只因为你和我已经不再一起。
当我们同在一起，在一起，在一起。
空气里有午后的暖意，我听着沙沙的收音机；
驺然间下起了雨，雨让我好想好想你；想要拥抱你。
当我们同在一起，在一起。。。。。。在一起齐快乐无比！

（R）｛你是我曾经的甜蜜；我是你爱情的过去；
那一段美好的记忆，我们都不能都忘记；
因为我很爱很爱你，所以能微笑着离去，
虽然我不会再见到你，幸福是我们曾经在一起。｝
X X X X X X X X X
空气里空气里有午后的暖意，我听着沙沙的收音机
唱什么听不清晰，因为我傻傻的笑着想起了你。
当我们同在一起，在一起。。。。。。。齐快乐无比。。。。。。
(the more we get together, together, together........)

Hi everybody,

Gong Xi Fa Cai and a happy new year. Greetings from the USA. Saw the reunion dinner online and it does sure bring back old memories. Boy, it doesn't seem like that long ago though. I recognised most of them, but there were a few who I have no earthly idea who they were. Guess I have matured quite a bit.

My children and I will be in Malaysia sometime in August and maybe we can play some catchup with old times. My oldest son , Nick,(19) is a sophmore at James Madison University. Phil (17) is a senior this year and going to college in the fall and lastly Katie (8) the cherub, is in 3rd grade. Jc, my hubby ,is still working with DOD (DEPT. of DEF.) and enjoying it. I am a full time housewife and enjoying life in general.
Whoever reads this, pls drop a line or two and we can start to keep in touch again after 30 years. Also, we live in DC area, and if any of you comes to this neck of the woods, you all are more then welcome to come visit us. Just let us know in advance.
Thanks Tiew Siew for doing such a good job online. Kudos to you for your time and effort, and keep up the good work.

老同学们，死党们，大家好！收到邮件非常高兴并惊讶，真的好想在做梦一样。 30年真的过的很快一瞬间就过去了，我们都快50了！2009年注定是个不平凡的一年-- 我们大伙毕业30年，中国改革开放也正好30年！之前听我秘书说有位韩性男同学找我一时没转过神来，我想应该是寿畴吧！真对不起因为最近特别忙，忙着我一个楼盘开盘准备。确保万无一失！您们大概也知道因金融风暴的原因楼市很大的被影响所以要准备充分，质量关一定要把好，细节决定成败！因为以上原因我今年就走不开了，不能参加30年同学聚会非常遗憾。下会回来我们再约！借此预祝大家新春快乐，万事如意，身体健康，牛年行大运！祝大家本命年（那些属牛的）牛气冲天！最后祝同学聚会圆满成功！谢谢！德明

* Thanks to Baidu's Search and KingLing's Chinese email, we finally get a respond from HoonTeckMing. Well done TeckMing!! Another truly made in Kulai success story who made his name in China.

Hi TS,

Here’s the one from KL. We didn’t have home cooked food but nevertheless it was great catching up with friends.

Here’s is wishing all of you, the class of 79 and your loved ones a Fantastic 2009! Best

Season's Greetings

2008-12-24T11:45:00.003+08:00

Seven of us from class79 got together last nite to have a home cooked meal prepared by “the wife” to celebrate the festive season. We are glad to have naturalized kiwi Cynthia Cheong LeeYin as our guest of honor this time. FYI, her next stop in KL is on Dec 29th, do contact Kathleen if you wish to meet her.

Though 30+ years have passed, every time we meet we’d still talk about the bees and the flowers during our SiS years where life was so much simpler; catching spiders and making them mate/horny! before each major fight; catching fish at the kulai river, etc. How to survive the mid 80’s recession where Jackson had to “jump plane” to New York City to be a fast food delivery boy; Sin Siew and Ah Choy going to the kiwi land, etc…

Til then looking forward to see and hear from some of you guys again…

Would like to take the opportunity to wish you guys a merry x’mas and happy 2009. Regardless of whatever faith you are, be it a commercial X’mas Christian like me.

Cheers,
t.s.

An evening with the July B'day "Boys" - Part 1

2008-07-25T21:15:00.000+08:00

8 of us showed up @ Crystal Jade Bishan Junction 8 to celebrate the July "boys" Soon Hiang, Mok and Choon Seong's birthday. All three did not go thru the "Remove" class like me thus they are 46th years old this year. Though the "boys" met occasionally, am sure King Ling or Enid has not seen some of them like Mok for ages....
Good to hear that Mok is picking up oil painting lately and my immediate suspicion- he was probably motivated by the studio's nude model! Need to find out where he attends his painting class. Part time "landlord" Sin Siew was talking about retiring and more importantly all of us were in good health to have a meal together...

Just as we were engrossed in our deep chat, the waitress hinted us that they were closing soon... We had to leave the brief get-together and promise to catch up again more often in the future. May be in a few months time...

Out-of-town folks, do remember to give us a buzz when you are in Singapore so we will have an excuse to meet again…

cheers,
t.s.

Catching up with Elaine Chai in Hong Kong

2007-05-15T19:58:00.000+08:00

Taking time off from work to catch up with old friend. The last time we met was probably after we left high school in 79.

With me were Elaine Chai Chew Yen and her husband Kalen at Wan Chai area in Hong Kong. Am sure I have brought back a lot of old memories to her from Kulai.

For those who visit HK next time, I am sure she would be happy to see you guys. She can be reached at +852 9436-1111.

Having Lunch with Mr. Chai and Mr and Mrs Tee

2007-04-14T13:14:00.000+08:00

It’s a blessing to meet our high school physic teacher after almost 30 years. Chai Min Heng is now teaching physic at Naval Base secondary school and is also one of the pioneer BB boys in the late 50’s. With me at the lunch are Wong Kim Siong (BB 80) and Mr. Tee (BB officer in late 70’s & 80’s) and Mrs. Tee. Both are former Math and Biology teacher at SSI and now residing in Singapore.
