Now it's Rumah Ku -- Not Siu-Siu

Folks!
Captain Robin has confirmed we have Muslims joining us tomorrow so we have to look for a halal place. So now, it will be at RumahKu Gallery & Cafe at 6A, Jalan Universiti, PJ. Tel 012-3131073 (Sunita).
To get there: It is a bungalow right at the start of Jln Universiti. By that, I mean REALLY at the beginning of the road -- right next to the flyover above Federal Highway. Coming from KL, get up the interchange at EPF. At the traffic lights, turn right towards UH. The moment you pass the flyover, turn left immediately. The restaurant is smack in front of you once you turn left.
Here's the link for a map: http://rumahkuonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=15

Please come on time.

Cheers

Sorry, Google Map trouble, try this

Folks!
Sorry, I just realised the Google Map thingy went wonky and the link went straight to somewhere else in KL and you'd have to navigate.

Try this link and it should work better:

Next Pow-Wow on Thurs Feb 19 7.30pm

Fellow LSS73-ers,

We will be meeting for some jaw-jaw (that's makan-makan and bual-bual) on Thursday Feb 19 at 7.30pm.

Venue is Siu Siu Restaurant at Lorong Syed Putra Kiri, off Jalan Robson. In case, you don't Jln Robson is the road parallel to Jln Syed Putra. The restaurant is in a shack along Lorong Syed Putra Kiri.

The lorong is beside Wisma Belia and Bangunan Macoba at the base of the hill where Thean Hou Temple is. This lorong is also the way to Le Chateau Condos. As long as you get onto this lorong, drive in for 500metres and you will see the restaurant on your left.

Here is the googlemap ref: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=kuala+lumpur&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.572881,78.75&ie=UTF8&ll=3.125432,101.688423&spn=0.005164,0.009613&t=h&z=17 (Update Feb 12: Sorry, this link gives you KL CBD. Use map link in later posting)

If you cannot click through using this link, please copy and paste it into your web browser and try. Please note many maps will show Wisma Belia as MAYC.



Directions for coming from city centre, enter Jln Syed Putra, either from Kg Attap side or from Istana interchange. Kuen Cheng School is on your left and the river is on your right. Pass Kuen Cheng and keep left. Take the left slip road away from Jln Syed Putra. This road is actually Jln Robson. Take the FIRST left turn once you leave Jln Syed Putra and that's the lorong.



Directions from Old Klang Road, Mid Valley, PJ and Brickfields: Take the interchange OVER Jln Syed Putra. Pass the traffic lights OVER the road and you will be on Jln Robson. Take Jln Robson straight to the end, passing by Robson Heights Restaurant on your right, Bangunan Macoba on your right and Wisma Belia on your right. Jln Robson will come to a "dead-end" T-junction with a right-turn. So turn right and you will be on the lorong.



Good luck, folks.



Please drop me an email or comment on this posting if you need help.

Happy New Year & News from Vijay of UK

Happy New Year, folks! Though most soothsayers and economists tell us to expect hard times, I believe opportunities abound for the prepared mind. Let's be among those whose mind are prepared to reap the opportunities in 2009!

And, we've got mail... from Vijay and he remembers fondly of us.... though I would not agree I had chubby cheeks. (Was too impoverished in 1973 to have 'em).

With his kind indulgence, I shall reproduce his email to me so that anyone can write to him as well. Or better still, call or look him up if you are in the neighbourhood of Middlesex:


Dear Kim Huat,
I do not know whether you recognise me; anyway it is Vijay who lived a stone throw away from school.
The house next to the bus stop in front of school, No 575 Jalan Sentul. I do remember Chin Mong quite well who lived close-by the Sentul flats.
I was informed by Harwin Re this fantastic reunion website of yours. I am very grateful to you for setting up this blogg as we approach the years of wisdom of our lives.I must say that my education at LSS was the best ever and I am sure that most of our contemporaries would concur to that.It does bring back a lot of memories.
I have always kept in touch with Michael and Preety, and Harwin managed to contact me after 30 years out of the blue just recently in 2005.It was nice to see the pictures of our friends especially Yap Kean Seng- how can I forget him as he used to park his cycle in my house together with the 4th mile Ipoh road gang. It was nice to see Phua Cheng Kan who appears as usual to be professorial. It was nice to see Amarjeet on the scene as memories flow,especially his fantastic MUM who had to keep him constantly under her wraps.
As for me I left Malaysia in 1977 to pursue my further education in the UK and have been stuck here ever since. I am currently,also, in the same sector as Chin Mong and I am currently Senior Lecturer at Birmingham City University in the UK. I am married to a Malaysian Girl,Vasanthi(ex Bukit Nanas Convent student)and we have two children Dinesh (14yrs)and Suweta (11yrs).They are both schooling here in UK.
I would like to take this wonderful opportunity to wish all our fellow colleagues and their families a very peaceful,happy and prosperous New Year 2009.I would appreciate if you would kindly pass our greetings to all concerned and Kim Huat, I salute you for setting up this website in motion. Do you still have the "chubby cheeks"?
Kind Regards,
Vijay Kumar Ramachandran
