What are your thoughts?

Here are 3 ideas for your reunion. I did a little research and incorporated a shield with a cross. It's part of the Arch Diocese of Penang's crest. I couldnt find a logo or crest for St Patrick's School so I used the Arch Diocese's crest as inspiration. Also, it doesnt have a lot of detail because detail and small embroidery doesnt work well together. So I made things chunky to ensure the embroidered logo will look great. Trust me on this, I've won awards for digitizing emboidery.Let me know what you think.

South Kedah- criminal activities - rampant

PADANG SERAI:
Padang Serai MCA Youth vice-chairman Ching Eng Wah, 43, was shot dead execution-style at a traffic lights junction here yesterday. Witnessing the horror was his wife Low Mui Keow who was seated beside him in their silver Mercedes. The couple were on their way home at 8am after having breakfast in Padang Serai town when two men on a motorcycle pulled alongside the driver’s side at the Jalan Padang Serai traffic lights and shot Ching in the head through the right window. Ching suffered the same fate as Lunas state assemblyman Dr Joe Fernandez, who was shot dead when he stopped his car at a traffic lights junction in Bukit Mertajam town in November, 2000. Low called her brother Boon Lai, 37, while still remaining in the blood-soaked car. Boon Lai, Ching’s son and their worker rushed over to take Ching to the Metro Specialist Hospital in Sungai Petani. However Ching was pronounced dead on arrival. Kulim Deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Ghuzlan Salleh said police have classified the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code. Kedah Wanita MCA chief Datuk Lim Bee Kau said there was a worrying trend of criminals being daring, to the extent of committing murder in broad daylight. “It worries me that such a vicious murder can take place in a small place like Padang Serai. “The prevalence of crime such as this requires some drastic measures by the police. They should check how weapons could be easily obtained,” she said, adding that more police patrols were also required. Kedah MCA Youth chief Boey Chin Gan said Ching was an active party member who was also the division’s branch Youth chairman. He said Ching, who was an aluminium frame supplier and had business concerns in Padang Serai and Sungai Petani, had been with the MCA for eight years. Ching leaves behind a 14-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son. His body was taken to the Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem.

Steward when you are in Kulim in September, should get Subramaniam to join in and you can show him this photo and perhaps he can
recognize the other Indians In fact Subramaniam stays close or next to the Kulim Inn.
I have the contacts of the following :-

Tang Siah Jin, of course Ron, Mah Sin Nam is in Cheras, KL with his son, will get him, Robert Lim Yoke Seng

The total count so far is 23 and anthor 10 should be able, the rest have doubts. We have a number from other years that may like to join us including the teachers another 10. I think the numbers with their spouse / partners, we should be a total of about 70 to 80 and it is a nice number for a reunion.


Stewart, I may not be able to join you in Kulim this September, have a wedding which I must attend on 22nd Sept. But would love to see you in Kl.
If at all possible and my old place is available to you but it is BASIC as we are moving in the next two months. In fact I will be busy with the renovation work in September and October. We are moving into an apartment, just lockup go and leave it to the security concept, besides only two folks and a maid.
We had a program here on TV on fishing in the Kimberly which you plan to go August 8th next year. It is interesting . We have just returned from 10 a day trip to Alaska, the family, two boys (Men now), daughter in law, the two grand sons and of course Lily and myself. It is a different kind of holiday, The boys caught 4 halibuts and the average weight 12 pounds, each person with the license we were entitled to 2 halibuts.
Bye for now
Teddy
