XMAS B4 DXB

A mini get together was held at the Oois over Christmas and here are some pics taken that evening.  It was lovely evening with good food and great company. 

 

Over Some Ikan Bakar (& Sotong) - 13 Dec 08

Eric and I were back in Melaka this weekend. Coincidentally, Shien Wei and Szue Fei were back too. So how could we give meeting up a miss right?

While waiting for HRH Shien Wei to arrive at Daniel's place, Winston flashed me a megawatt smile - "see how bright my gigi are now that Josephine makes sure I cuci them twice a day"

Before setting off for a round of ikan bakar, the band of 4 brudders posed for a million dollar 'hansum' "tai lou-s" pic....

At the ikan bakar shop - no don't be mistaken. The Caucasian lady is SW and SF's friend from UK, not any unidentified lady hor....

Ahhh, a picture of bliss!

Where there's boys, there's balls talk (hey think striaght ok!). Ending off the night was a (tame and civilised) round of soccer news exchange.

Finally, assignment time. SW to Wins, his appointed point man in Melaka: "Go round up everyone for something this CNY ok!"

Ok then, we shall see everyone again during CNY!

Our Mr Marathon

Congrats to Chong, our Mr Marathon! He completed the half marathon run at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2008 yesterday in good time. So you know who to look for if u need a running mate (pun intended - on the tracks and perhaps for the White House too?) eh?

To make up for his lost calories, we indulged in a Penang Hawker Fare buffet at the Orchid Country Club last night. Too bad the food standard was no where near what Shien Wei and family enjoyed in Pulau Pinang proper over the weekend ;-P

Anyone interested in the Stan Chart Marathon 2009?

Mr. Nonis...

Our HM from primary school. I don't remember much about him, except that he came to SFI when we were in Standard 6....right?

"Sin-Chia-Por"

In addition to Eric's Missus' entry, here are a few more pics.

The Stars of Singapore

Ong Jrs

Reminiscing Down South

The buncha good ol' SFI boys in Singapore met up with Shien Wei and 3/4 of his brood for a seafood dinner at East Coast UDMC this recent Sat, 22 Nov....

So, there were,

the Choys,



the Ongs,

Chia Yee,

Eric & Shien Wei,

Shien Wei's very sweet little gal (her Mommy was there too),

And everyone else, minus me, the (lousy) photographer ;-P

What did they do? They dug in, they drank,

they gave speeches,

and they laughed!

After a night of solids (food), liquids (beer and Chinese teh) and air (from the laughing), it was time to bid farewell

Till we meet again, dudes!

Signing off,
Eric's Missus, Tong Huey
