More ACS Reunion Dinner Photos 2007






We have Mr. Liew Kam Chong here. He was at my clinic to raise funds for the giant ACS "kolam" which entered the Malaysian Book of Records. Unfortunately it was reported in the newspaper that the project wasted many bags of rice which could had been used to feed the poor.

The heroes here are seated: Teh Moon Chong, Chan Joon Hoong, Leong Oon Keong, Lam Poh Wah. Standing: Teh Chor Aun, Chan Kok Meng, Hung Ching Chai. Mr. Lam Poh Wah is making millions with the current bull market. Mr. Teh Chor Aun loves travelling far and near. Mr. Hung Ching Chai will fix up your car's air conditioner and battery with a special discount.


Mr. Loke Choong Meng is on the right. He was our Industrial Arts teacher majoring in mechanics. He is currently very active in our MNS (Malaysian Nature's Society) Perak branch and loves "bird" watching.

ACS Reunion Dinner 2007












Mr. Lim Kwan Wah is now the headmaster of ACS Primary School.


To the left is Mr. Ivan Oh, Mr. Oh Boon Lian's son. He will design and create your dream swimming pool in your next resort home.




6th October 2007 is surely a day to remember. About 500 ACS teachers, students old and new gathered for their annual reunion dinner at the Hee Lai Ton Restaurant Ipoh. Can you imagine singing the ACS anthem once again?! Followed by "Tiny Bubbles" and "Pearly Shells" songs lead by the original maestro Mr. Chin Yoong Kim. Surely it was a nostalgic night. I came out of the gathering truly refreshed having met so many former school mates, teachers and mentors.
I bet the teachers felt better than I did. Can you imagine how they would feel when former students of theirs come forward to greet them and thank them for all they have done? I believe its the sence of appreciation that matters for most of them. Surely, they are reminded that their sacrifices have not been in vain.
This is the first instalment of the pictures which I have taken. I shall publish the rest later. There are some problems with streamyx today.

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
