Tongkat Ali....Bird Nests.....BioFuels....Canola Oil

Another yakking session this time in honour of Professor Ong ChiWi from Sun Yat Sen University, Koahshung and his resume : Two primary schools at one go, and two secondary schools, three universities (UM for six months, Liverpool for 3 yrs and Cambridge for 3 years), worked in Canada for a year and now in Taiwan . Have been a Professor in Chemistry since 1986.

The topics that hogged the nite discussion was how to export tongkat ali to Taiwan, new commercial ideas on biofuels and by products of palm oil, whether there is a big market for bird nests in Taiwan.....etc. Unfortunately Yew Ai could not make it last nite otherwise we would get a deeper insight of oil's effect on human being....well there is always the next time I suppose.
It was also good to see Hua Chek especially his passion for saliva of the birds....

Tuck Seng telling Chak Pooi thats not the way to do it......while Hua Chek smiling away and Prof Ong trying to make peace. Well I think we all enjoyed ourselves.

Meet-up with Yong Been in Ipoh on 29 July 07

Shortly after the gathering in KL, YB's family made a day trip to Ipoh on Sunday. It was great to meet up and catch up after 34 long years. Apparently, YB seems keen on the MM2H programme for foreigners to retire in Malaysia and we were trying to persuade him to come to Ipoh.

1. YB and family at the Railway Station.
2. Our usual meeting place, the Ipoh Swimming Club.
3. Having a Cuppa at Old Town Kopitiam
4. A Trip down Memory Lane

MIA .......34 years + 32 years

Had a great gathering last night....one of them whom we have not seen for 32 years & another one 34 yes 34 years.Will let you guess who is who.....
Now who does the guy in green resemble? And who is the one sitting in the centre ? Hint... MIA for 32 years
Well the chap above is the son of Yong Been whom we have not seen for 34 loooong years and beside him is Yoke Foong. Dr Sukumar is the 32 years MIA.
Good laughs and chats the whole night long.....we were still talking about the Horley Hall song and YB's journey in Malaysia during the 70's
NK showing his tantrums......or trying his best to look angry
And FW trying to be the photo-journalist....Wanted to have our karaoke session but unfortunately it was full house. We underestimated the number of uncles and aunties queueing up and karaoking on a Fri night..... had some beers and some cokes alfresco style instead.

An Old Fren from Korea?

Anyway we all know now he is Lim Yong Been our form 4 & form 5 classmate known as Korea. He is residing in HongKong

OK alerted me of an interesting comment on an earlier blog that I posted...Old Building ACS Ipoh.

Hey, I was there in HH from 71 to 73. My name is Lim Yong Been or "Korea" since i was a korean. My younger brother also was a boarder - Kyong Been. We both played Hockey for ACS. I was grilled many times by Brian for smoking and other stuff...hehehe.

If there are any fellow HH boarders around Ipoh or in Malaysia, let me know, I will be visiting malaysia between 27th and 31st July 2007.

Hello Yong Been,
I can roughly remember someone who fits your description in my class and is also known as "Korean". Are you born around 1956? Benny Yee sounds familiar too. But it has been such a long time. I left ACS in 1976 after Upper Six.

Remember Yong Been as a javelin thrower......during the form 4 & form 5 days.

Yong Been is now in HongKong and I spoke to him briefly today. He will be coming over to KL end of July.

Another beauty of internet.
