Contacts Information

I have compiled some email addresses. Please go check it out. http://chongkg.googlepages.com/contactsinformation






R2011-the story continues...

Close to a year ago, there was a slew of emails about the next re-union. I guess it would be appropriate to put it here in case some of you have not read about it. It has been arranged to appear with the earliest message first....you would see that it was originated from Ravi (who else) based on the original email messages about Shirrene's legal predicaments.

As a bonus, since it's Labor's day holidays tomorrow, there would be some pics at the end to remind you guys of the great times at the last reunion.

Great news abt the reunion. I'll be the first to throw in my hat.

Another idea (to be considered) include packing away the whole lot of us onto a remote island for a couple of days aka Survivor style.

Of course, for those of us who want some creature comforts, can also consider booking in to some chalets instead of roughing it out and spare the tents building. That way can also bring all our nagging missuses and bawling kids along..haha.

May the force be with you,

Eric

Hi frens,

It's just great to know that the up-coming R2011 is on. I m sure all of you share the same enthusiasm like me. Believe me , it will be THE place to meet! So, Ravi-Count me in!

The last R2001, 54 persons inclusive spouses attended the gathering. This number would easily surpass by the next R2011.Pass the word around as the last reunion only saw Akira (Under Overseas Category) flew in.M.I.A = Hay Keng Shum, Vincent Tio, Philip Tan, Roshan Brito, Lenny Tan etc

Come to think of it, 6 years maybe a bit long to wait.... So, who's getting married next? Probably that would be the sub gathering until the big one.

As sure as the sun rises,
Sunny

U forgot Loh Yew Siong also. Haven seen him in ages.
Agree also that 6 yrs is too long but then again that is where the incentive is to make the effort to gather for that one occasion.

Anybody remember anyone else that MIA that we forgot to mention?

Meanwhile for all you star wars fans around, enjoy the joke i pasted below..

Dear All,
I am glad to notice that even the subject of this long e-mailhas changed to R2011 (as in Reunion 2011)...I guess I have Sunny M Lohto thank that for!
So R2011 will definitely be the gathering to be at. I think Ihave to thank all of you for your undying enthusiasm and keen spiritto rekindle the spirit of 1991! I mean which other group can sit down,listen and get tickled to re- runs of the antics of Ms Alice Chia, MrHo Yew Lum, Mr Jeffrey Santa Maria, Mr Sim Beck Choo, to name a feww...
Anyway, to a long story short, we will outline the skeleton ofthis massive gathering at the next wedding whosever that mightbe....
Ciao..."Attention Franciscan a voice is resounding....."

Best Regards,
Ravidas

Blue Ocean Strategy
When beating competitors simply means making them irrelevant
April 16, 2006

When big corporations as diverse as Nintendo and Cirque du Soleil are adopting 'Blue Ocean Strategy' in their marketing campaigns, you better watch out. Smart CEOs around the world are having a new book for their bedtime reading.

The book is titled: 'BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant' co-authored by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne (Harvard Business School Press, 2005). It deals with new approaches to tackle competition in the market place.....

New Links on Sidebar

I have updated the links on the right hand side.

Among them are:
  • The official SFI school site. If you are feeling nostalgic and wants to listen to the school anthem, then head over :) They have done a good job in ensuring that the site has been well maintained. In fact, there is an update today itself. Go visit it now!
  • The Franciscan Online community is a new site created for ex-franciscans. They are recruiting members for FCKL, go register.
  • The SFI Forum, this page can be found from the official SFI school site, but I decided to include this here in case you guys can't find it.
  • Jason & Annie's website. Go in and click on the photopage to see their wedding photos.
  • Eric & Tong Huey's pictures. Go have a look at Eric and his cert...no not his straight As SRP, SPM certs....but his Marriage Certificate ;)
  • "A Mum's Hideout" - A page by Szue Fei, Shein Wei's wife.

OK, if you guys have other pages that you think I should link to, go ahead and email or sms them to me.

Sunny has joined the fatherhood clan!

Congratulations to Sunny for being a father to a baby girl on the 28th March. Hope he or his wife would be free to drop a line here to tell us himself what it was like ;)
