Mini Reunion Dinner at Ang Ban Guan

Hi,

Victor Sin was quick to arrange a mini St Mary's Old Boys reunion dinner on 30 July (Thursday) at Ang Ban Guan, a wooden shop restaurant along Jalan Sim Sim (next to the Sandakan Mosque)which serves decent seafood.

Gracing the re-union dinner were Chong Shui Lung, Foo Ka Hung, Sin Ka Hiew, Chong Ken Foh, Chang Piang Thiam, Jorgy Juana, Francis Fong, Chai Heng Wing, Pun Vui Poh, Chung Ket Chung, Lee Len Wing and the writer.

Dr Frederick Ong, Albert Koh Chiat Hong and Chu Sai Kee were also contacted but could not make it. Victor could only manage to contact Dr Ong on 30 July morning as Frederick was outstation on Wednesday, Albert Koh just came back from UK & had another dinner invitation and Chu Sai Kee is presently in L Datu.

It was a light hearted dinner from 7.00 - 9.30 pm and all were there more for the bonding and the chatter with old classmates (after leaving St Mary's 39 years ago) than for the seafood!

Check if you can recognise your St Mary's classmates in the photo.

Upperstar Get Together - 18 July 2009

Hi,

On Friday (17/7/09) morning , I called Victor Sin Ka Hiew in Sandakan and was told that Lawrence Chong Shui Lung and Robert Foo Ka Hung were flying to Kota Kinabalu that morning.

I contacted Lawrence Chong re arrangement. After his Saturday golf, most likely we could have a drink together in the evening. I had not met Robert Foo Ka Hung since we left St Mary's Form V in 1970.

After my Saturday (18/7/09) badminton games, I soon got a call from Lawrence Chong, asking me to join him, Robert Foo Ka Hung and Lawrence Chung Hee Meng for a drink at Upperstar Pub in town. I was keen to meet up with Robert Foo and Hee Meng (whom I had not met for years). Shortly after I arrived, Edmund Kwan Kar Choi and Albert Lee also showed up. Sim Kang Loong was also contacted but could not make it. Tommy Siew was again not in town and away in China.

We talked about our St Mary's happenings ......

Although most were approaching 60 years of age, we talked about our St Mary's days as if we were still in our secondary school years! But we all knew we were getting on and looking forward to the Old Boys Reunion in Sandakan.

Whilst Kar Choi and myself had to go back for our family weekend dinner at home, Robert Foo Ka Hung, Lawrence Chung Hee Meng, Chong Shui Lung and Albert Lee went on for a dinner in town.

When we met up, we treasured our moments together.....once we were all together in the same classroom as boys and now we are fathers of adult sons and daughters.

Hello

Hello all my fellow classmates.

Greetings from Sandakan. Seems that we have been very quiet lately.
Is the Re-union still on. Met up with Ronnie Chung when he was back in Sandakan and he proposed to have it some time in late July or early August 2010. Noverber will not be aporopiate as normally School will be closed for the last term holidays. What say all of you.

Robert Foo is now in Sandakan and will be here until early August 09 and we too have discussed on the issue and he confirmed that he will be back for the occassion. We are really running out of time and someting really needed to be done if we are serious about it. Lawrence Chong is trying and working very hard but not me.

Nothing was in the blog for the past few weeks.

Regards,
Name: Sin Ka Hiew
