One Night in Singapore

The story of its origins: Not so long ago, word has come to me that our arch rivals across the Chan Koon Cheng road in Malacca, the Not-So-Low School has been spreading its tentacles all across the causeway in this Little Red Dot here, for quite some time. As they already had a not inconsiderable number of disciples here meeting regularly, the question that arose was : can we Franciscans here make a same show of solidarity...if not better?

After a month or two of clandestine emails, frantic phone calls and quickie MSNs... the results are for all to see below :

Group picture of our little Singapore gathering of Franciscans and their families. However, not in this picture are Teo HT (who left early but is in the below frame), Choy Wei Lun (MIA with OT work) and Loo Chiang Yau (stuck in office...those of you with longer memories will remember this lad who was with us from Standard 1 to 6)

Mr, Mrs Teo and young Jasper Teo... as well as Chia Yee and the missus.

3 green bottles on the wall....and then there are 2 green bottles... and then 1 green bottle and finally there is none.

And poor Geok Pin has to placate his young boy on the mystery of the ever decreasing booze.

Hmm... By the looks on her face, maybe Ee Fen knew where it disappeared.

Blog Stats

Well, this is just for information purposes. Below is a chart of the hits this site had been receiving. Hits had been around 200-400 per month till May when Roger decided to spice things up before the blog came alive. Then the Memory Lanes series and a few "controversial" posts pushed up the daily hits from mid-May onwards.

So we now have about 10 readers on a daily basis and a few more that comes and goes. So if you are new here, or have been a quiet reader all this while, please do drop us a line so that we can include you in our eXciting outings and activities ;-)

Meanwhile, have a great Thursday, for tomorrow is Friday!!

Obituary: Kang Teck Lye

Most people were busy during the weekend of 9th and 10th June. It's the last week of school holidays and also an auspicious date to get married (our Mikey and also the PM tied the knot). In the midst of preparing for the trip, I got an sms from Jason Leong:

"Our accounts teacher Mr Kang Teck Lye has passed away on Mon. Just saw the obituary column in the Star." - 8/6/07, 8:14pm.

By that time, the funeral was over and it was too late for anyone of else to do anything much.

I am sure we all have mixed memories of our times under him, for better or for worse, he was our teacher and it pains me that I have to start a new label for Obituary in this blog.

May he rest in peace.

As a sign of respect, I would not post the next batch of photos for the next 2 days.

Visit to Kuala Lumpur, 21st August 1990

From the days before the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower, CyberJaya & PutraJaya we made a trip to Kuala Lumpur to visit the Institute of Medical Research (IMR). I vividly remember the various organs (normal, mutated or diseased) preserved in hundreds of jars.
