KK ST MARYS RE-UNION on 2 Oct 2008

Hi Classmates & Friends,

We already had a Mini Reunion in K Kinabalu on the second day of Hari Raya.

I got a call from Sin Ka Hiew (SKH) about 12.10 pm to come out for a drink at Burger King, Damai, near Foh Sang. I asked if he was with his family as SKH lives in Sandakan. No, he was with old St Mary classmates and rolled out a few names whom I had no inkling. Never mind, I said I would be there within 15 minutes and I bet I knew them.

As I entered Burger King, I saw 3 men sitting at the same table with SKH and as I approached, I found out that I knew none! But they all gave me a friendly smile as they knew I was Kon Sang and most probably they had not seen me for years as well. As I shook hand, I began to recognise one (Chung Tet Chung), his face but not his name. Then the second face (David Leong Yun Choi) also looked familiar after a few glances but again no clue as to his name. The third face (Pang Su Kiong) was not so familiar but he came from St Marys Town School and I must knew him!

SKH then called Chung Hee Menn (he could not come as he was in Kolombong visiting his Muslim friends but promised to look up SKH that night), Chong Sui Lun, Lawrence (could not get through as out of range? He drove from Sandakan and spent the night in Kundasang and could be on his way down to KK), Benedict Tai (who came), Richard Leong Min Yee (who came) and Albert Lee (no answer).

I called Thomas Siew to join us but he was in KL enroute to China yet again! So SKH talked to him briefly over my hand phone enquiing if there was anything good in China for him (SKH)!

We did not have Julius Ho and Kwan Kar Choi handphone contact with us and could not contact them to meet.

We talked about old times until 4.30 pm when the downpour began and we headed for home.

Personally, I was touched to see all of them, all so friendly in our advanced ages talking about our school days in St Marys.

Most of them left St Marys after Form 3 Government Exam as one needed a Grade B minimum to proceed to Form 4.


Regards

Kon Sang

Clement,
Good to hear about your mini re-union which you all seemed to enjoy. This is only a fore-taste of our planned re-union.

Hi Hubert,

In my rush to Burger King, I forgot to bring along my camera. Otherwise, I can share the snapshot of our mini re-union on the blog and you can all try to figure out if your recognise them!
