Hai Guys! , I'am back.
It has been a long wait, I know.
As for me and my wife, we are glad to be back where the weather is cool and very comfortable.
Well, the energy put in by Teddy and Stewart over a whole year turned out to be an overwhelming success. No one ever thought the number of participants would reach a conservative total of thirty. It reached fifty to be exact. You could tell that everyone was pleased to be there to meet their long lost mates they sat in with in those early years. It was interesting to watch everyone trying very hard to guess who the other person was. And when the guessing game was over, without fail, it drew a loud and hearty roar of laughter. "Ah yah, You look so dfifferent lah. I thought you were someone else. How are you?
The amazement, the joy at the discovery, lasted the whole of the first evening. The questions of how are you and where have you been all these years and where are you now, kept repeating themselves.
I was, their teacher and one lovable fellow thought that I was one of his classmates. It drew a loud laughter when it was overheard by others nearby.
The makan at the hawker stalls across the road from the hotel was a good time for deepening the long lost companionship. They came from Australia, Singapore, Johore, Kuala Lumpur and the majority from Kulim, Bukit Mertajam and the neighbouring districts.
The dinner the next day drew a larger crowd when some of the wives turned up to share the joy of their husbands.
The man of the evening was Cheah Kok Poh who kept the 'class' alive with laughter.
More photos on the board and screen helped to give a better focus of the missing persons. The most popular of all that evening was Elvis who entertained us with a number of popular hits of the early years. He was great. I am sorry I forgot his name. ( will someone please click on comments at the bottom and add his name.)
We did not forget the ones who had left us for good and they included a number of their former teachers.
The party ended with a promise to get together again in two years time.
Three cheers for all those who turned up.
See you again hopefully.
Meantime, Bye, bye.

Wish we were there!!!
Who is Wendy?...by the way the guy who sang wonderful Elvis hits is Tan Eng Hoe (Ah Tao). I knew Tan Eng Hoe back in 1960. He was then just a small kid that use to bicycle around good old Kulim town with a buddy. He never hangout with us koz he was too young for us (hahahaha). But today Tan Eng Hoe pass the test and he can be with us anytime and anywhere. - Dave Li Wanji (matsom = mat Saya Orang Malaysia..I AM Malaysian!!!).
