Hi there all,
In response to KG's call for someone to blog abt the small gathering on the 2nd Dec , I will try and do my small part la since I wuz there.
Firstly to answer Patrick's question: nope this we were not in London but good old Malacca - more precisely in a small mamak restaurant outside Daniel's/Shien Wei's houses in Cheng.
The pictures were in fact supposed to show a group that call themselves Ocean's Ten - sort of a prequel to Ocean's eleven (hey, that's the Hollywood trend - Phantom Menace anyone?). However MIA with valid excuses were Daniel Chua and his missus. So its up to yours truly, Winston (playing the role that starred matt damon in the original movie), Shien Wei (yeah that's you, mr clooney wanna-be!) and Szue Fei, Michael Tee (hello, brad pitt) and his other half, Beng Chen (andy garcia) and Shirrene (our julia roberts!)- all out to plot our next heist.
Seriously though, we had first gathered at Daniel's place to meet and we then proceeded to the mamak stall to eat as well as see Winston tearing his hair out when watching Man U play Middlesborough on tv. Of course along the way we had tossed up the following topics to dissect and debate in our typical scholarly manner..no, seriously ! They are, not in any particular order of importance -
(1) Daniel's new house
(2) Daniel's new washing machine
(3) the contents of Daniel's new washing machine
(4) Pang Kee Teik
(5) of bent wrists, waving handkerchiefs and such
(6) wedding preparations
(7) Hotel Equatorial Melaka
(8) 101 things mother-in-laws should not do while on stage performing during a wedding dinner
(9) Transformers, Voltron, Thunder Cats, M.A.S.K ... you get the picture
(10) games we guys grew up playing in school - chopping!, chapteh, patong, collecting Panini world cup stickers, badges, bottle caps, the game where we put a pile of cards on the table and we clap our hands and win over those cards that flip over- whatisitsname? ... anymore games to add anyone?
(11) Daniel Craig's incredibly sexy body (strictly among the women folks only I assure you)
(12) Class Reunion 2011 and the cruise to nowhere....
Finally,
This is Eric reporting for sfi-1991 blog, signing off from our small Malacca gathering on Dec 2nd 2006, over and out....

Tong Huey
I should be back after christmas till new year... see you guys back there.
Eric,
Thanx for enlightening all of us. Not much help from ckg when he tried answering me ;+>
Its a real wonder we can still remember the things we played some 20 years ago!!! That's how long ago it was guys. Time has surely passed us pretty quickly and before we know it, we will be getting invites to Shien Wei's children's wedding ...
For me, the euphoria from reading what Eric wrote was not just a matter of re-tinkling the memories of us growing up together, but rather the enthusiasm of us continuing to keep in touch as good friends and frequent those small but often very meaningful gatherings despite our parting ways quite some time ago. Kudos again to ckg for making most of these possible.
Must be the festive season here (without my wife and my 2 girls) that made me a little more sentimental. Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone and hope 2007 holds an even better year for all of us.
Cheers,
patrickng
ps/ congrats to shien wei
