Hi....James
He sent me some photos ... (which I admit taking some artistic license with :)
On my recent visit to KL, I had a chance meeting with some of our schoolmates - with the help from Lee Kien, I was able to get in touch and meet up with some of our friends. Unfortunately there were others who was either unavailable or cannot make it on that day, they were Philip Chin, Cyril Moh, Harry Goh, Dato Anthony Macpherson, there may be others but may be you or someone else may be able to name them so that we or anyone calling at KL would be able to call upon. we need another "Bob Chew" in KL.
1. First meeting was with Chee Kok - we had a drink at the Shangri La Hotel
2. Second meeting was with Lawrence Chin, Kueh Fook and Chee Kok - we met up at the Pavillion Mall, having some Bak Kut Teh
Best wishes to all.
John

Here's the group at dinner at No Signboard restaurant, located at the Esplanade Theatres by the Bay ...
It has been 35 years since I last met John. I think it's about the same for both Liang Fang & Richard Lim
Welcome to Malaysia and Singapore, Mr & Mrs John Lee ...

Welcome to Malaysia and Singapore, Mr & Mrs John Lee ...
great Then & Now, WJ ... do more of these in future postings.
ReplyDeletefor someone living in England, John looks pretty tanned.
ReplyDeleteJohn, still into body-building or not?
ReplyDeleteLooking very good, John ...
ReplyDeletewhat is that colourful dish on the table in Photo 3?
ReplyDeleteWJ, do a Then & Now for Photo 3 leh
ReplyDeleteWJ, time to do a "Year of the Dragon" posting, like last year's Rabbit one!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks to James who hosted the dinner for us. Since my return, I had so much seafood and other wonderful Malaysian/Singapore that I had a bad reaction to it which causes my left big toe to swell - diagnosed as gout. Layman's term for having too much "rich food". Trust me, you do not want to get it - it can be on any part of your joints in your body and can be very painful. Been to see the doctor in Singapore who prescribed me some pain killers and inflammatory tablets. Anyway, I will be back in Kuching and hope this problem eases.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comments. Here my answers to some comments:
1. Tanned looked - I had to opportunity to arrived in KL for a few days and managed to catch plenty of sun and prior to that I was somewhere sunny too.
2. Bodybuilding - you must be kidding!!!!. No, only the general toning up at the gym. Take your anger with the weights!!! LOL. Another form of de stressing.
3. The colourful dish was the dessert of fruits - melon, mango and watermelon
To those who are based in Singapore or those who may visit Singapore, may I recommend a very nice seafood eatery place. It's cheap, no parking fee to pay, bill do not carry service or govt tax - cash only. This place is very popular for their steamboat, seafood dishes and assam fish head, cereal prawns, etc. The address is:
Good Year Seafood Village
15, Tampines Avenue (Old Tampines Road)
Singapore, 529788
65839515/96425800
You may have to ring up for reservations during the weekend though. Do let me know if you have been to the place and let's hear your comments.
Until next time.........best wishes
Yes John, I've been there once and the food there is well, like you put it,cheap and good and free parking. Good value for Sing dollars.
DeleteI remember we had look for a parking space and we sort of drove round and round the area looking for one.
Got to meet a part time waitress working there, a University student and she's from Cambodia.
@NL - Oooooooh ... part-time Cambodian waitress ... so tell us what happened next???? LOL
DeleteBelly belly sorry la Anon 2:30AM, what happen next ho....is personal matter la. Don't worry, I didn't ask her out 'kay, otherwise our brother Sinos will 'kepong' me boh.....
DeleteHey, don't play play ah...Cambodian lady eh? Or else we will send Khmer Rouge to hunt you down if you kacau that lady...
ReplyDeleteRgds,
