Invitation to a Virtual Cocktail Party


Dear members and friends of Form 5 (1976), St Joe,

As mentioned before, we'll be experimenting with a new format for group interaction using Windows Live Messenger. This will be our Virtual Cocktail Party and you are all cordially invited.

Date/Time: From 11:30 pm on Sat, 30th May 2009
until 2:00 am on Sun, 31st May 2009

(Singapore & Malaysia time)

What you need to do before this date is to register on Windows Live Messenger, and make sure it works by testing it out with your friends. You should then send your registered email to Website Jaga aka James Yong(jslyong@hotmail.com) and he will add you to his contact list. Alternatively you can also add him to your contact list.

On the date/time indicated above, please get into Messenger, and you will be invited by Website Jaga into the online chat session.

Between now and the party itself, please feel free to ask any questions, using the comments part of this post, or emailing Website Jaga directly.

Hope as many of you as possible will join this occasion to catch up. More details will be provided closer to the date.


Cheers
--- James

  4. Is there going to be a pool? Is skinny-dipping allowed? What sort of entertainment can we look forward to? It'd better be good otherwise I'm not turning up!

  5. Just for you KC, we will consider providing an Olympic size virtual pool. Condition being that your provide a videoclip of your skinny-dipping adventures (or misadventures), and put this "Panjang" mystery to rest once and for all.

    As for entertainment, we are seriously considering this international musical duo KCKCK to do a long-awaited reunion performance. What do you think?

  6. WJ,
    Thanks for tip for KCKCK to perform - virtually. Got to find a virtual guitar and tune up my virtual voice cord.

    However, due timing, I might have to miss this big VC party as I am virtually in the air flying back to KL from Middle East. So perhaps KC may have to consider going solo virtually.

  7. What is a party without the ladies? WJ, please work harder on the invites.

  16. Hey I added WJ right? I even have my webcam ready. Hope all will get a webcam and we all do a video conference.

  17. There's a suggestion that we move the party one hour earlier, as the current time may be too late for some people. I tink that's a valid point. LET'S START AT 10:30PM (SG/MY TIME) ...
