More Pictures of CNY Gathering












This CNY gathering is truly remarkable. Gathered are some whom I have not met since I left ACS in 1976. Perhaps this gathering is the beginning of something bigger next year. Thanks to Kee Kuang for sending out a timely email to meet. Surprisingly most of the people gathered are actually staying in KL now. We shall definitely try harder to gather more classmates who are staying in Ipoh next year. Perhaps more teachers too.

Christmas Eve Candle Light Service 2007

My wife, Hooi, carrying Matthew and my elder son Joshua in front having his dessert.

On my left is Mr. Lee Hoong Chong the church administrator.

Mr. Chong Fong Fatt and family.
Monday 24th December was surely a night to remember. Mr. YB Lim and wife were in our Canning Garden Methodist Church for Christmas Eve Service. Met them for a short while after service. I was looking out for them in the Garden Terrace where light refreshments were served. Couldn't find them but surprise, surprise.......... found Mr. Chong Fong Fatt and family instead. That was the first time I met his charming wife and family.

KIDS Christmas Party 2007

The Rainbow Choir of Canning Garden Methodist Church presenting a musical drama. Fantastic songs and a meaningful message of Hope for the Christmas Season.

These balloons were released to the kids. It was such a spectacular and colourful sight.
My son attended the KIDS Christmas Party held in the Canning Garden Methodist Church, Ipoh. I was the camera man responsible for putting up the pictures in our church website. Please visit http://www.cgmcipoh.org/ for more photos. I shall try to put up videos next. The Christmas tree was made up of 500 stockings created by our youths. Each child took home one sock and there weren't enough to go around.

Dinner with Lim Yong Been

I realise from the blog archive that it's been five months since my post on our memorable meet-up with Yong Been in Ipoh in July and our 'Korean' is back in town again! He seems to like the relaxed, laid-back Ipoh life after having lived in big cities in the States, Korea and Hong Kong. He is back with wife Karen, to chill out and play golf at the Meru Resort and and is looking to acquire a property. And why not, with the dirt-cheap prices of properties here which, coupled with the lower cost of living, amongst others, make this an ideal place for retirement.

A few of us met up for dinner at the Mun Choong Restaurant behind Lido. It was great to have a teacher join us this time too - Mr Chin Yoong Kim. Good food, good drink (wine with compliments of Mr Chin), warm camaraderie make an enjoyable evening.

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.
