Class of 1977 Methodist Sungai Siput

It was a very good night with the group of friends at The Olive. We had Amy Yew, Khor Lee Cheng,Jit Fu,Soo Har, Man Fu, Teck Thian,Sea Ping, Chok Thin, Foo Sang, Poh Lin, Rose,myself and of course Yoke Yun. Later we were joined by Brenda and Kay Keng. We had the whole of the the top floor to ourselves and had a hearty meal besides lots of laughter and pictures taking . I have up loaded some pictures for those keen to have a peek in to facebook .
So much we chat about during the good old school days , and obviously it did not go without the normal arguments which class we were in standard three .. was it A or G ? Looks as if we did not have sufficient time in English classes to distinguish between A to H ? But it was all taken in good stead.

We look forward to find these excuse to meet up and share our good times together. SO let us know what is cooking and we will join in ..

Mean while . I wish all to take care always..

Who can that be other than Teh Yoke Yun , As mysteriously as how she vanished years ago she is back into Malaysia this week end in KL and the next in SS/Ipoh .
For those who has no idea , you may remember her as a tanned Brooke Shields with two braids ( pony tails ) and have thick rims ( not in her sports bicycle ) spectacles. Some what of a cry baby some remembers her as. BUt all in all a fine lady . as most recalled her to be .
Could she be another surprise candidate that we will all not recognise or are we actually the surprise for her as she cannot recognise all of us ! Ha find out this puzzle for yourself. Be at the party for her this Saturday ..
tentatively the dinner will be at Souled- Out at Sri hartamas at 7 pm . However , Please call be latest by friday morning to confirm your attendance . Reservations for saturday dinners are extremely full . PLEASE CALL ME – 019 663 1808 if you are intending to attend, i do not want to disappoint anyone but I DO NOT OWN this restaurant or any for that matter .
For the time being we have Khor Lee Cheng, Teh Teck Thian , Rose, ManFu, Barry, Yeap Foo sang( Maybe) , Amy Yew ( will try ) , SEa Ping and Chok Thin( two or nothing ) Yew Leong ( See first ) . I must say we have very decisive people in the group or very busy ones! anyway . Please GD call me when YOU have decided. We may change venue …BUt still will be near by I will firm up the venue by Wednesday.

Well , like I say this before take life as it comes along .. .dont wait for it to pass you by and start lamenting your woes.. Procrastinate and you will only live to regret it … not now but one day not too far away .. ( Manfu if you need translation as Rose to help! )

See you all then .

For the SS episode sorry I cannot help la… Tasan can take over from here..
For the benefit of those who forgot our dear lass Yoke Yun , she is seated in the front row( or else where do you expect the class monitor to seat ??? ) And she does not LOOK like Lam shee Hung …

See you soon .

Dear all,

After a visit to a dear old friend , Chin Swee, I have the following to share ..

1) Chin Swee admitted into Selayang Hospital after coughing blood on Monday . This is the third time he is in and out of Selanyang Hospital ( One of the best reputed hospital for liver cancer treatments ) . It was serious enough to have the doctor put him into ICU as he has not been able to extricate the toxics out of his body for two days ( neither urine nor the other ) .
2) Could not consume anything as it would throw out whatever was devoured . Water consumption were very low ( as low as 50 ml a day!) as he woudl in the same way throw out large amount of water . So he is on drips and on tubes.
3) After been in the hospital for treatment two days he finally manage to pass out sufficient toxics to be concious. He could recognise me when I visited him this morning and could manage more intake of prune water . The wife is taking care of him in the most meticulous way .
4) Body temperature was on the low side ( 35.8C) but BP looks okay . at 119/90. The good news is that this cocky fella is fighting and is able to recover from this bout.
5) Now he is in the recuperating ward and needs lots of rest . I have conveyed that a lot of our friends cared for him but I think he would need all teh rest and peace of mind to fight this battle himself. We can be on the side lines to pray and hope he will be well and strong again . Now that the cancer has infected the kidney the process may be a bit disruptive and it is not expected to be an easy battle for him . I can see the pain . but I can also see the will to fight in him .

Like all of you out there I pray for him and his well being .. For the time being , I can only do that. the other thing that these matters constantly reminds me off is the importance of life and its upkeep. which then showers down to the importance of the bonds you have in this earthly place . AT times like this does material matter ? Is the mind clicking away like a cash register? or will the streams of blissful moments take center stage — the sour , sweet , bitter and the spicy ones( literally translated from mandarin meaning the life experiences. ) .

It is with my most sincere bit that I wish all my friends, relatives, enemies and all worldly beings the BEST OF HEALTH AND WELL BEING !
MAY ALL BE WELL AND HAPPY!

Best regards always..

Barry Lim
