Looking Good 2

I think most of you didn't notice because you've seen him often, but Ruben also is slimmer than his schooling days. I almost didn't recognize him the first time I saw him after many years.

Although David Leong was not at the reunion, I must admit that he looked better than his schooling days as well.

Guys, admit it, your wives worked magic with you, hee hee. Your love for your wives motivated you to slim down and remain healthy:))

Cheers,
Chu

Can you relate??

Subject: Married Life !!!


* They say that marriage makes a man dizzy, and it's true.
As soon as I got a wife, I lost my balance at the bank.

* Men want 3 qualities in wives: Economist in kitchen, artist in home & devil in bed.
But they get artist in kitchen, devil in home & economist in Bed.

* Q: Why do women live longer than men?
A: Shopping never causes heart attacks, but paying the bill does!

* Before marriage: Roses are red, sky is blue. U r beautiful, I luv u.
After marriage: Roses are dead, I'm blue. U r my headache, one day I'll kill u.

* Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and then when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that.

* Man: Is there any way for long life?
Dr: Get married.
Man: Will it help?
Dr: No, but the thought of long life will never come.

* Why do couples hold hands during their wedding?
It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands before the fight begins!

* Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?
Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.

Looking good!

Next Reunion - Alex Lu voted as Leader

Hi Alex,

We were impressed with your 'vision' of the next reunion, and are waiting eagerly for you to take the lead :) By the way, some of us were very sure that your name was Elvis!

Great Blog!

Hi Ruben, thanks for starting the blog. I am sure you and our talented friends can make this into a great blog. Just for starters, some corrections to the names..Lu Kien Chee's surname is Lu, Gwen's full name, Gwendolen Vu, and Yapp Soon Phin (Phin with a 'h'). Ruel's name is Ruel Manluping, I think...I thought your name is spelt Reuben! So, hopefully the others can just double check as well.

Cheers,
Chu

A beginning

From left: Ruben Sario, Wong Tuck Wing, Yapp Soon Phin, Lu Kien Chee, Mike Govind, Benedict Teo, Phyllis Yap, Chu Wai Quan, Gwendolen Vu, Joseph Wong, Jewan Singh and David Foo.

Welcome to a blog for all St Mary's secondary form five science alumni of 1980. This is for us.

This blog is also the result of a mini reunion of 12 of us at the Shiok restaurant in 1Borneo on Sept 26.

All the while, we have been keeping in touch via email and personally I was having some difficulty in keeping track of who was saying what at times.

So at the reunion, I told Chu that it would be a good idea for us to have a blog where we could post messages, greetings, pictures, videos and links to other sites which we think the others might be interested in. This is possible as all of us would have the username and password to update and post things in this blog. And we could also comment on the postings, thus one way of keeping in touch with each other.

Since all of us posting stuff, I would suggest that whoever post anything put their names at the bottom so that we'll know who is saying what.

And so here it is, our own blog. For the first posting, I'm posting some pics I took at the reunion that was extra special as Jewan, Ben Teo and Yap Soon Pin took time to come to KK from Miri and Lahad Datu respectively just to be with us. Kudos to them.

Thanks to David Foo, there's not only photos of the event but also a video recording of it as well, it can be viewed here. And Wong Tuck Wing had an interesting Power Point take on the gathering in his email to us.


Here's some more pictures I took at the gathering.


The initial conversation was more focused on everybody catching up with each other. I think Wong Tuck Wing brought the class photo and the conversation drifted to those we have not met for 30 years, the names Chua Pui Bak, Ruel Manluping come to mind.

By the way Ben Teo's red eyes was because of my camera flash and not because he turned into some creature after years or rather decades in Lahad Datu (Sorry Ben, I couldn't resist that ; ) )

And after the unique individual style steamboat dinner, we adjourned to Starbucks where a very animated conversation as we chartered the future political direction of the country. Heh heh.

The gathering winded down at about midnight after we received some glares from the Star Bucks staff one of whom finally told us quite loudly that they had closed for the day.

Hopefully this reunion will lead to more gatherings and in between enable us to keep in touch.

Let's keep the torch of friendship among us alight.

Ruben
