Yes the most academic award would definately goes to Chin Yew Xin...

Rapat boys Hock Chong and Chin Yee Hong..
and if not our hearty Lee Teck Voon or our gold old Au Chee keong
We did have a dinenr with Chin yew Xin many years ago on CNY

Do you have phone numbers and email addresses of these boys mentioned in your email? It would be very handy for me to get in touch with them if you have them.

Hi Allen


Jeff Ong Kim Peng mobile is 012-5006886


Kim Peng actually holds an opened-house during CNY when some old boys
would gather informally. They are mainly boys from the former Sam Tet
softball team and also the music band he used to play and sang. You
remember Kim Peng and I was in the Glee Club and performed in the 1978
Talent Time....right..just say you do

I persume that you know that Kim Peng used to lead the band who
performced nightly at the Ipoh Minus Arm and Rendevous...you can say
he had it all. Ya! he did that when he was runing his printing factory
full time and while "golfing" around. Well, Kim Peng he is qualified
for the Nomination for Most Entertaining 78 Classmate Award!

I has been visiting Kim Peng all these years since 78...Fook Kheong
met up with Kim Peng few years back and he assisted FK to meet up with
me in Beijing...since then FK and KP is always together during CNY.

Seems that the years of silence is coming to an end.....everyone is
coming back to meet up again.

hope you really enjoy this trip to Ipoh..I think this is most
important

cheers

Hi KC,

Thanks for the phone number. I have started to keep a list of the
phone numbers and I am sure I would enjoy meeting all these old
friends again in coming visits to Ipoh, KL and Singapore in Feb. The
momentum is gathering pace on breaking the silences of the last
decades and we are coming out of our shells in linking up with each
other. I am grateful that some of you have already been keeping in
touch for the last years and many of us who have not feel that we
should get our act together and follow suit..... For the right
reasons. That was one of the reasons I took part in initiating the
Google Group mails and our 1978 Class Blog. Frankly I have a bit of
free time in my hand and so I am able to dedicate this small effort in
propagating our lost friendship. Am I getting sentimental, you bet!

Cos I remember all the musical talents we had in our class - you the
base guitar player and Jeff Ong the singer. Think his specialty was
Elvis?

Elvis is his nickname given by the girls in Lower six

Kin Fong I was going to let Kwai Choon correct your perception then I
thought better of it .... If he was the lead guitarist then with the
band, he certainly changed into a base guitarist in his uni years!

Seong Pin, KC definitely was the lead guitarist with a band in Brunswick in his uni years. Your perception of him in base...you could be right, might be during Sam Tet time...or he could have been the above two with his music talent ??

Kwai Choon, please bring back the memory.

Hey KF
Where have you been! I was in the band in 1978 and I even thought you
guitar!
and elvis was just a stupid character i have to put up during F6
orientataion
I have just post couple of photos in the shared files..well a picture
tell a thousand words...
and thats a great one of SP with his Denver-glasses....a real charmer!
for my music career after the sam tet band I join another one in
Melbourne started by a Hongkong guy...I was involved with some.
cassette production in 1985...
and played in a hongkong church too for a while... that was 12years
back...but really was far from my dream of being a rock star..
maybe when I get to be like Allen I can go for it..with a young heart

I remember everything Kwai Choon, you even helped me to buy a guitar in Melbourne and taught me a few things...I must admit I have no talent at all in music and I sold that guitar the 1st year I was in Sydney, and until now I still know nothing and can't play a tiny pit.

Elvis..you bet, it will be the name for you for the rest of your life to the girls of our Lower Six classmates, Foong Peng sometimes still refer you as Elvis.

So..were you a lead guitarist or base ? that was the question.

BTW, speaking about music, there have been a few song books published by Sam Tet people during our time..something like 500 songs type & others. KC, do you still have any, or any of you guys still keep any copies ? KC, as you know Foong Peng is very keen about music and she has been searching for those song books all these while. Could you help ?

Dear Kee Mun,
Welcome! At last! I am happy to meet you here!

Please get Chee Kean and Yok Seng to sign up to Google Group or better
still give me their email addresses and I will put them on the
circulation list!

Definitely Mrs Tham and Mr Chee will be on our invite list for the
2010 REUNION and I am sure all other members will be delighted. You
will be our contact person, Kee Mun?

See you soon in Feb.

Allen

I met Mrs Tham last december 2008 at the Curve, Damansara, PJ for coffee and chit chat for a while.
Teck Voon went to USA 2 years ago. Before he quitted his last software job in China, he used to visit me in Penang whenever he came back to the Penang HQ.
