After 11.11.11 Reunion in Sandakan, a reunion after 40 years (1970-2011), we had a follow up Reunion in Kota Kinabalu on 11.11.12 on its 1st anniversary.
Francis Fong was again our ring leader behind this Reunion. He was the contact person for our Sandakan Old Boys whilst I was appointed by Francis as the contact person for K Kinabaku Old Boys and also in charge of the Reunion Dinner arrangement.
We celebrated the Reunion in Supertanker Restaurant in Kota Kinabalu.
Altogether, 15 Old Boys attended - 5 Old Boys from Sandakan and 10 from Kota Kinabalu. This turnout was not bad .... less than half the Sandakan 2011 attendance - but without any overseas Old Boys.
Hailing from Sandakan were Francis Fong, Chung Ket Chung, Pun Vui Poh, Steven Ng and John Liau.
From Kota Kinabalu, were Kwan Kar Choi, Khoo Puay Guan, Tommy Siew, Sim Kang Loong, Leong Ming Yee, Wong Man Kong, Leong Yun Choi, Alfred Pang Su Kong, Benedict Tai and Chang Kon Sang.
Some Sandakan Old Boys were there early chatting away when I turned up before 7 pm ...... by 7.30 pm.... all the 15 Old Boys had arrived.
The smartest dressed Old Boys were Sim Kang Loong (in his long sleeve batik) and Chung Ket Ching (in a traditional Chinese jacket). Tommy Siew was in his trade mark attire. We were all happily chatting away, reminiscencing our st Mary's days, many armed with cameras to take the reunion snapshots during the night.
We were there until the restaurant closed at 10 pm and we were politely told to call an end to our reunion chatter by the boss lady who knew me, Kar Choi and Puay Guan being her regular customers.
Most Old Boys later adjourned to a nearby coffee shop to continue their "Those Were The Days" chatter.
We all enjoyed the night out together .........
