Thanks guys for remembering my birthday...
I FEEL so LONELY on my birthday... no party spirit... no satay... no classmates to talk to... I even pay big bucks for Su Lee's heavenly chopstick treatment but Vancouver's technique just doesn't compare.
When I saw Peter's wet & wild videos, Mary & Rita's centerfold pictures of the Reunion, my birthday party is one lame Sunday school singsong.
Life is very sad without my KK friends to party with...
Sob sob sob.... I miss you guys...

Hi Henry:
Take it easy, you are not alone in feeling home sick, all of us who can not attend are suffering from one form of depression or another.
You are probably suffering the most because your are the closest with every one. Folks at home miss you lots.
I don't know what to tell you except you are not alone in feeling this way. Do I sound like Dr. Phil?
If I am not mistaken, (please don't get mad at me if I am wrong) .your birthday falls on August 12?,
Is that why, you are feeling the way you feel?
You know we all love you, right? now I really sound like Dr. Phil.
I better quit while I am ahead. Take care. Regards, Paul.

Henry,
Be comforted by the fact there are people in Lebanon who have no home to come back to, people in China with flood waters in the living room, people in Philippines with volcanic ash for dinner....
Moral of the story is what you don’t have you won’t miss... So dun worry, be happy ma man. I’m sure you had a wonderful birthday bash... Where’re the pictures, ay? (G)

Pete,
You guys always know how to throw a party. Kudos to the organizing committee. You guys deserve a big thank you for a great job! It really was the party of the century. I'm so sorry I was not part of this reunion and had to miss it. Hopefully there will be another one soon with all you beautiful ASS classmates! The pictures were fantastic! Thanks for sharing those very special, crazy, funfilled snapshots with us on the blog. Love Chi's cake!

Maybe Henry is thinking what I am thinking I dont think I want to announce to everyone that I have turned 50 .... even though I may still (- shall see next March hehee) look 21 and healthy. But hey, the fact is we are 50 , all our organs internal and external are 50 years old. Imagine a 50 yr old car! All this aside ofcourse we learn to accept it... blah...blah.... we keep fit ..blah...blah... , we eat well , we keep a positive mind..blah...blah.. we can keep convincing ourselves that its just in the mind..and just a number...etc...etc.. but the fact remains. :-)
There wont be big party for me - just the family dinner I expect. My heart will bleed alittle -will allow myself to feel that for just one day. :-) Hey, I am human and yes -vain. :-)
I will be very upset should vc planned a surprise party for me. He better not as I will skin him alive!

Life's not finishing first, reaching highest, being richest etc .... its Da Attitude, Da Attempt and most of all giving Da Best with what you have.
What an awesome achievement... congratulation guys.
I see smiles in every picture... sum of all that Joy is potent enough for Lebanese & Israelis to make peace... Man, miss all your parties..

Henry,
Life begins at 50 for some, life ends at 50 for some. Some define their front door as the edge of the universe, some just lay their hat where they are and that’s their home. Time is the only illusion, everything else is temporary. What we get out of life is directly proportionate to what we put in. Some like to watch, I like to just do it. This is the way of Zen.
How come you got so much Black Forest left over? SYTs kept blowing your candle all night long huh?

Hi All
My life end this morning.
Got up no gorang pisang, no matapak, no you jar kuw, no kap pang, no kopi ping, tea c, no hot sweaty me :-((((
Some body help meee...
Matt and I had a fantastic kampong trip. Love almost every moment of it beside the hot weather that we had to deal with.
Matt said this is one of the trip that one definitely can't get the smell from reading the travel books :-))
From the bottom of the Sabah sea and to the top of the mountain. We must said we almost did it all. Next trip, we had to make it to the very bottom of the sea and the very top of the mountain. Slowly but surely...
...Wish I had more time to catch up with every body. If I missed any one out, please forgive my old brain, they are soaked with chinese rice wine chicken soup.

Hi all:
Rita and I definitely agree that Paul’s video was one of the highlights of the reunion night! It was great – cheers from one Winnipegger to another.
Actually the whole night was fantastic and everyone needs to be congratulated for all that they have done. We were all very impressed with the huge amount of hard work and organization that went into this event. It would be an understatement for anything that one could say .....
....Rita and I are just so glad that we could come to this one. We feel that these reunions are fantastic and seems to be unique to the class of 73. I highly doubt that other classes are as close as this one, let alone ASS, but truly around the world, this class in unique.....
Best wishes from Larry and Rita

Thanks Pete, you really did a mammoth job and a good one! Your high tech contribution made a big difference. The video show was great, and of course Paul Leong's video clip made it really come alive!
I'm waiting for Danny to call me to see how to get some of my photos compiled into the big album.....
Great to see you all again, even fleetingly! BTW, I like your long hair. All you need to add is a leather outfit and the Harley and you're set for action, man!

Beautiful piece of work, Peter. You are still the Class Artist. Thank you for your priceless contribution to the creative side of the Reunion and you are still doing it. (If you count his contribution in dollars and cents, we will be more than just RM2,000 deficit!)
Ever so grateful to Evelyn & hubby, SuLee, Kui San, Mary, Dennis & wife, Choon Kong & wife, Philip, Fung Yung, Fung Ngiap, Ronald, (Man Nah & Chui Chui who joined the committee in the earlier meetings) and others whom I inadvertently missed out for putting up fun-filled dos, dinners, out-door events/trips, for the rest of us to enjoy.
And not forgetting Danny, who is tidying up things and keeping us together electronically so to speak...
I am touched by the spirit of this class of '73 and am proud to be associated with all of you and also to be one of you.

Chi,
Thank you so much for being so thoughtful. So you and Matt have finally landed back to home sweet home eh?
Sorry I didn't have time to check my e-mails till this morning cos, I was busy with meetings.
The KK gang sure going to miss you all. Although it was a short trip for our overseas friends but I'm very sure that we all will treasure every moment that we spent together at our ReU!
A very Big Thank U to Pete for his contribution towards our ReU and not forgetting Danny who had done a great job too.
Special thanks goes out to Chi/Matt, Rita/family, Danny/family, Willy/family, Pete/sista, Lee Foon, Wai Cheong and Pasty/Tim who made an effort to come back all the way for the ReU.
The KK gang hope that you'all had a wonderful time at the ReU.
What a pity that some of our overseas friends weren't able to be at our ReU but anyway I guess you all will enjoy as much as we did when you all get to see the CD/DVD and pixs.
Don worry be happy, another time another place and we'll see there!
Have a nice weekn to you all.

Oh dear Rita,
Things are really sinking in. I was on the go since I landed home, guests in our house, work, catch ups, sick friends, and now Tim is out to Da Lian ..... You really make me realised the withdrawal! That feeling is so funny and mixed esp having seen again face to face as a class. It is like a dream
Sigh, life has to go on where we left each other since 73. And imagine we all came back together with kids and spouses and they all are looking in at the crazy bunch. Reality is we are all still us, very communal, loud, no boundaries, and everyone, anything also can, accepting and smilingly silent,
Time was just too short to catch up properly. Glad to have at least our Bar B q lunch at Sapi with your family and Chi and Matt! Can see Dr larry is a wonderful paed. Very friendly and embracing!
and ...ai yo....Ok, no more kampong days for a while till we meet again somewhere, sometime, someday, somehow.
Many more good days to come! till then, sob sob....

The feeling of missing you and everyone is hard to describe - it is not a nice feeling because it is a mixture of sadness, a bit of loneliness, heartache, flashes of all your faces, smiles, laughter, conversations, hugs, etc, etc . It sure makes my eyes misty....
