Our Own Facebook Group!

Although I have already sent out invitations to those of you who are on my facebook friends list, this is just a heads up to those of you that I for some unforgiveable reason have missed you out in sending out the invitations!

Those of you who have already been invited, please assist by also inviting our other classmates who are on your facebook friends list.

Why this facebook group?

1. Everyone is on Facebook already and I encourage you to sign up on Facebook now if you haven't already done so! It is a great way to keep in touch.
2. This blog is in the public domain - everyone who chances on it can read (and spy?) on us whereas a Facebook Group is private. It is set up as a closed group and strictly by invitation and postings cannot be viewed by others who are not part of this group.
3. There is a LIVE group chat function in that everybody who happens to be on facebook at the time can chat with each other! The other night Geok Lian, Edward Tan, Justin Tsan had our first group chat.
4. It is FREE!

I am sure there are other very good reasons that I had not thought of or am aware of yet.
So join in and contribute. Looking forward to seeing you in our facebook group soon!

Charity Ride from Kota Kinabalu to Kuching - November/December 2011

My dear old friends - to celebrate my 55th birthday on the 29th November 2011; I'll be doing a charity ride from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah to Kuching which is about 1,300kms away, on my own. I feel very blessed to be able to do this epic ride at an age when we are supposed to "retire"! I know I have all your support; so please go to the "Donate" page of the charity ride website for information on how you can make your donations - www.kk2kuchingcharityride2011.blogspot.com

I will report back here after I have completed my ride on Sunday, 11th December 2011. Wish me luck! Thank you.

Reunion Dinner in Kuching 3 April 2011

The 2 'Singaporeans' namely Edward Tan Teck Hoo and William Tay were coincidentally in town over the weekend for "cheng beng" and we took this opportunity to catch up over dinner at "The Venue" restaurant; where we chatted till well over the closing hours. It was a good thing that Pang Kia Siew (who again delivered on the choice of great food) knew the owners (it also happened that William's brother was also one of the owners!) and who also kept us all duly entertained!

Everyone talked about having a "big" get together dinner and yours truly for one is keen but I do need help from all of us to make this happen! See all the empty chairs waiting to be occupied! ;-)

See you all at the next reunion!

A Thought to Ponder

The Dalai Lama was asked,
“What thing about humanity surprises you the most?”

His answer,
“Man because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. Then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn’t enjoy the present. As a result, he doesn’t live in the present or the future. He lives as if he’s never going to die. Then he dies having never really lived."
