Hubert and son ( Morgan) arrived in Kota Kinabalu on Dragon Air on Wednesday night ( 4 January 2017) and were welcome by Tommy Siew and Kon Sang at Kota Kinabalu International Airport upon their arrival at 7,10 pm.
Immediately, they headed to Foh Sang for Prawn Mee dinner. Offered either seafood (as having safood reunion dinner on Friday) or bak kuh teh (regarded by Hubert as too West Malaysian), Morgan indicated preference for Prawn Mee instead.
On Friday, 6 January, K Kinabalu Old Boys hosted a dinner in Welcome Restaurant at Bundusun Penampang for Hubert and Morgan. Hubert was indded glad to meet up with his Old Boys - Hee Menn, Sim Kang Loon, Wong Wan Kong, Tommy Siew, Kar Choi and Leong Ming Yee - some like Hee Meng and Sim Kang Loong whom Hubert had not met since 1974 after he went to UK for his studies. ( Both Hee Menn and Sim KL did not attend our 2011 Reunion in Sandakan which was Hubert last trip to Sabah.
Hubert thanked all who came to his Welcome Dinner and we had a very warm and chatty dinner from 7.30 - 9.30 pm.
Before we dispersed, the four core members of Sapi Dog Gang group photo took a group photo before Kon Sang and Tommy sent Hubert and Morgan back to Putatan Soluxe Hotel.
This is a memorable group photo of Sapi Dog Gang - first group meeting of all the 4 core members since 1974. The 4 never were together in a group after Hubert left for UK studies in 1974. After Hubert had graduated and qualified in UK, he went straight from UK to work and live in HK ever since. This was his 3rd trip back to Sabah since 1974.

After receiving the above group photo from Kon Sang, Hubert remarked in his 23.59 hour message on the same night which read " A very memorable evening out with the Gang of Four also affectionately called Sapi Dog Dong. My son remarked this name indeed just fits us! Touched by the welcome and hospiyabilty shown. Sang pls feel free to post this to the chatroom."

Hubert left Kota Kinabalu on 7 January for Sandakan, his home town, wher we met up and had a reunion dinner with our Sandakan Old Boys on Sunday 8 January. He was back in Kota Kinabalu on 9 January for overnight stay before flying back to Hong Kong on 10th January Tuesday morning. Again, the idea of having a drink together was mooted and organised - the 4 core members of the Sapi Dog Gang met at Bukit Padang Foodcourt for a drink from 9.00 -10.45 pm and Hubert and Morgan were dropped off at Soluxe Hotel about 11 pm.
It was a Good Good Nite and when we look forward to meet again .....
