A Photo 36 Years in the Making

I just met up with my classmate and old friend from St Joe, Chong Chi Nai. He and and his family are in Singapore for a few days enroute to NZ. We met for breakfast this morning and had a good catch-up chat.

Chi Nai and I were classmates for a very long time - from Primary 1 until Form 5Sc (1976). I left St Joe for UK at the end of 1976 while Chi Nai continued to Form 6, then proceeded to New Zealand for further studies. This is the first time we have met since 1976. 

Dr Chong Chi Nai works for the Asian Development Bank, where he is presently Country Director for Laos, and based in Vientiane.

Looking good, buddy. Keep in touch.

Brothers in Sports, Brothers in Law

I recently heard the wonderful news of the wedding of John Lee Jr and Ng Ai Joo on 27th June 2012 at the Town Hall in Huddersfield, England. Heartiest congratulations to the beautiful bride and dashing groom.

Congratulations also to the proud parents, Mr & Mrs John Lee and Mr & Mrs Jensen Ng Koon Teck. As some of you might know, John and Koon Teck were classmates in Form 5 Arts 1 (1976). They were also excellent sportsmen and great buddies during the 70's at St Joe. Check the end of this posting for a nostalgic photo from those days.

Here are the bride and groom with their parents and parents-in-law ...
