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,

Welcome, Boon Lye...

Welcome Home, albeit for a short visit, Boon Lye

I don't know if you remember me but here are my best wishes. Sorry, I already have been committed to another engagement which I cannot extricate myself from. Let's keep in touch and please drop me an email at kh.khlim@gmail.com.
Perhaps, you can drop me an email with your current itinerary so that "old guys" who want to meet up with you can look for alternative slots.
Would be good if you can offer some "windows" and I'll post it on the blog.

LCM: Can you please pass this message to Boon Lye?

Cheers
KH

9 August 08 Dinner @7.30pm

Guys! Tan Boon Lai is back from the USA to God's Chosen Land for a brief visit. Let's hear from this ChinaMan the reasons why he neglected us and went to a complicated nation.

It's a great opportunity to meet again. This time try to catch hold of those who missed our Maiden Event at Heroes Cafe.

Dinner is fixed on 9th Aug 08 at 7.30pm SHARP at the PJ Seafood (just about 100 meters from the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort). If you come from Damansara / PJ / Kayu Ara on the NKVE highway, go under the Bandar Utama bridge (keep extreme left) towards the Damansara Toll BUT ....... turn into the slip road (left) immediately after going under the bridge follow the road signs towards Tropicana Golf & Country Resort. You will come to a T-Junction, turn Right and head towards a set of faulty traffic lights, go straight, pass a Tunnel and turn left immediately after the tunnel. You have reached your Destination! (The PJ Seafood is on a little hill and Tropicana Golf & Country Resort is 100 meters from the tunnel)

Bring Your Own Drinks!!! But we shall all share like before. With Harvin safe and sound in Queensland, we shall have more to drink. Somebody must ensure that Yap Kean Seng comes cos he was the Mother of Liqueur Providers during that great nite at Robin's. He was also Great Fun to have around with wonderful African and Mexican promises but we all wondered if there was any truth in them!! And, also get our Boss Teacher Bernand! He will teach us Drinking and Blogging Skills.

Yes, it's a Saturday Nite!! So, get your wife's or girlfriend's permission. If you can't convince her, then bring her please!!

Call our Gang Leader Robin Rodriguez at 012-3052094 after 1pm (he is back to vasity - that poor chap!!!) and if you need directions call Chin Mong 012-3339886.

Don't let us down please!! Make sure you call Robin and book your seat/s SWIFTLY!
Cheers!

Let's Make It Big!

Hi Chaps,

Let's call whoever you are in contact with and inform him/them about 1st July. We must make this meet a big one.

It's nice feeling to be in touch again after these years.

We now have Harwin, Robin, Eugene, LKH, PC Khan, Sai Moon and LCM confirmed.

Can we double that number? I left word for Pritipal Singh (GM Operations, Pan Pacific KL) to contact me. Eugene is trying Ang Kim Hun. And, he will get Cletus and Father Bear.

Robin knows where How Chik Loke operates his Hardware shop from so we must get him, OK?

I called Abdul Rahim (0162515816) but he is in JB mostly. I will try him again.

Anyone wife coming??

Warm regards.
