Teddy and his wife, Lily

25 days to go

25 more days to go to St Patrick's School, Kulim, REUNION at Northam All Suite – Penang.

Don’t forget, to come in early so as to catch up with fellows you might not have met up with since those early years. (appro. 50 years ago)

Apart from the programs it is really something just to be able to recognize some of the fellows……. some have really, really, really changed.

Come casually dressed. If you like you may wear those old clothes - drain pipe pants etc., if you can still get into them.

See You soon. Bye for now

Eat Green to live longer

Enzymes need to be a big part of any anti aging strategy. And that means that raw foods, especially fruits and vegetables, need to be an important part of your daily routine.

Best News for a long while

Dear Bill,
I hope you dont mind me calling you Bill since you are my super senior. We have a lot of information regarding the school. Started in 1-8-1933. Recently I acquired photo copies of documents from the La Salle Provincialate in PJ, Selangor.The school is officially opened in 1939 by Tunku Abdul Rahman(father of Malaysia) when he was the district officer in Kulim. Right now we are in the process of acquiring as much information as possible to upgrade the history of the school.During the dinner there will be slide show regarding the history of the school. Very important ? Will you be joining us?

Thank you , Rao

Letter from Dave

Dear Teddy

Thank you very much for the unpdates on our reunion. Am glad to know that 50 are coming (may b more!!). 50 is a good number...we hve not met or seen or heard about ea other for 50 years and 50 are coming!!!! that's fantastic. Thanks to you Teddy! (ur hard work goin to pay off now..looks like it anyway).

Sorry that i juz couldnt make it for two nites for family reasons. Whatever this ONE reunion is what i am NOT goin to miss.

What you and the gang have in store for the members on the nite is allready fantastic and more then enuf i think. Too much stage n etc presentations would distract us from talking to each other and catching up for about half a century of our "time lost" with these frens that r turning up come 1st Aug 2008. For me personally...seeing you guys and talking abt the good old days are better then a 1,000 presentations......

Was in Kulim yesterday, passed by our old school (St.Patrick's) they hve painted the whole building orange (yuuuuckk!! what weird tastes these presnt administrations have!!!). There were abt 2 or 3 storey new blocks. The main building (facing the road) is beeing renovated....its windows are being replaced with large single glass sheets (may be they r goin to air-con the area). It is now Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan St.Patrick, Kulim! - SMKSP,Kulim.

Well that's about all from me at this time. Thanks again for your reply. Pls snd my regards to all our frens..especially to William (if he stills remember me hehehe).

Dave

From William. Ahem !!!

You have to forgive me, I can't remember anyone by the name of Dave (good name no doubt) I am just dying to meet you and everyone. I was surprised to see the number 50- I will have to relearn all those names- If you see me with a pad all the time it is because I want more stories from you all and this blog is going to exist for more years to come for the interest of your families and friends of St Pat. Please send me more stories for publication on the blog no matter how brief the stories may be. Everything will be very relevant including -- how to fry koey teow ( reference to Stewart Chew's culinary skill). So don't disappoint me. What about your story, Dave?

HI ! Patricians

Dear all Patricians,
I am Mohanarao. Ex-student - 1960 till 1968. At the moment I am the principal of St.Patrick Secondary School. This is the 75th anniversary of our school. At the school level we had/have a few programmes. On 27th January 2008, we had the inaugural general meeting for 'Persatuan Alumni SMK St Patrick". It was officially registered. We have produced a special button badge to commemorate the 75th celebration. The celebration was officaially launched on 17th of April. Covered in the Star. On that day 2 ex-students gave RM50000 to upgrade the school. Right now the renovation is going on to be in time for the main celebration on the 3rd of August. On that night we are planning a dinner in the school. I am appealing to all former Patricians to come forward to help me to regain the Patrician spirit and bring the school to its past glory. As part of the celebration, we plan to produce a commemorative school magazine bearing photograghs, information of yesteryears as well as small write-ups of ex-students of their days in school. Please contribute. Feel free to drop by at the school any time.
