Here in Singapore where I am based, this is the first week of another school term. In the morning, I could see little kids going to the schools near to my place. It gave me the idea that since we are also trying to determine who's been accessing this website, I thought it might be a good idea to "take attendance" and conduct a simple online ROLL CALL.Simply use the Comments box to let us know your presence by indicating:
- your name
- which class you were from (or which school, if not from St Joe), and
- where in the world you are located
Optionally you might want to include a brief message to everyone.
Simple enough? Hope everyone is sporting and cooperates.
OK, over to you ...

In case, you have never heard of Waterloo, if you use a blackberry, that's where it comes from...
So you guys at Waterloo were to blame for us not having a minute of peace in our day ... with emails chasing us wherever we go !!!!

Dear James,
Congratulation for a job well done thus far. Still having deep impression on Kevin C & Ho BC, who were most helpful in my study from Form 4 though USS. The ever friendly Lawrence C, my dear friend Ah Fook (my ex-boarding mate)& Chee Kok who used to converse "Chee Kok" version of Hakka with me. Warmest regards & best wishes to you all. selamat Hari Raya.
Francis Lee?
ReplyDeleteAre your sure with your class year? I do not recall any Francis Lee. If you are, then you must be twin with your sister of STS 76.
Please clarify......
Hello Francis, a warm welcome to our Form 5 blog. It's been a long time. For a while I was also trying to visualise your face, and fortunately we have the class photos of Form 5Sc and Upper 6Sc. The old memory is not as sharp as before. I also didn't realise Elizabeth was your sibling. How great to be reconnected. What have you been up to all these years? Do drop some comments and say hi to the others.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Greetings to you all. A big round of applause to you James Y for making this a reality. It does bring back memories, and good ones too, especially those carefree days. I'd also like to thank Elizabeth Lee via Francis Lee for exposing this blog to me. It's good playing catch up.
Hey Bertram, didn't know you're in the neck of the woods. Roughly 600 km away?? Should try to meet some time. Lipp Kee, haven't forgotten you and though you're on the other end of the coastline, we can still keep in touch.
Sinos, it's good to know that at least one of us is still riding the bike. That's a very nice one you've got there. What about you, Justin? oops, I mean Datuk Justin. Still remember you, Ah See and Wilson. No more biking for you boys anymore?? What about the rest of the bikers, Kevin, Cyril, Lawrence, Chee Kok, John Lee and the list goes on... Got to stop now. This is supposed to be a short note. Until then, cheerios.

To all my muslim friends and classmates, Selamat Hari Raya. Wish I was home now and enjoy the food.

Welcome Mike!!! Good to hear from you again. Keep visiting and exchanging comments with all your old friends.
ReplyDeleteSeems we have a growing alumni in Canada - yourself, Lipp Kee, Bertram, Ngu Chin Sun ... there's at least one other, but escapes my mind now. Hope you guys find some occasion for a reunion there.
Once again Mike, welcome back to the St Joe Form 5 (76) class !
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you after all these years. Hope things are OK with you in Canada. Not sure if you remember Ronald Chan ( few years our jr..and brother of Denis Chan..top sports guys , few years our sr), He is in Vancouver, I think.
Yes, it is nice to be be still able to ride nd where roads are still not congested yet in Cambodia and driving licence is still easy to get. Police are very friendly too but we need to be extra careful of the road bcoz the villagers think that they are driving a bullock cart on the highway, man !!.
Do keep in touch Mike, take care & all the best.
Rgds,
Sinos
Mike called me today...quite surprised and we had a good chat...promised that we'll meet up sometime..anybody has Ngu Chin Sun's email?
ReplyDeleteBC
Hi BC!
ReplyDeleteI have Chin Sun's e-mail.If you leave your e-mail, i will e-mail you or you may e-mail me at chenleekien@prupartner.com.my
Cheers!
Hi WJ,
ReplyDeleteDid you e-mail you Chin Sun's contact?
Hi....Mike & Francis
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you guys, welcome to the "net". Especially to Mike, my fellow Rubber Road West inhabitant!!!. Since I mentioned this now, I wonder where are the others now who used to live on this road. I can recall: Janarius Liew, Alfred Wong and our neighbour (but cannot remember her name, she's Teresians, year '76), Said brothers (watched the Mohammed Ali Vs Joe Bugner's fight at their house), Chiang Kok Cheng (Not sure if I spelt his name right) & others. May be you guys can name others.
I say, WJ, this is quite a list to live on 1 road. How about others who can recall the number of school mates living in one Street or Road. I only recall those on Rubber Road West, must be a much longer list if it is the whole of Rubber Road!!!. Another thing, when we were in our primary years, some of us used to attend tution lessons on this road (cannot remember the teacher's name at present). There were Cyril, Khoon Teck, Janarius, Ricky Chong, & many others. Those were great and fun times!!!!
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteIs Sophia Wong the girl you are looking for? Her younger bro is Max Wong-SJS Form 5-1979.Can't remember her elder bro's name.They used to live-Rubber Road or Rubber Road West.
My other classmate Judy Liew was also on this road and they used to cycle to school together.
Hey WJ, a while back, Peter Ng & I used to play badminton at Uni. of Ottawa. Then he vanished in thin air and I have no idea where he is now. Remember Wong Tiong Sing? He was 1 yr. our senior with Wong Ik Chai (guy I admired in badminton; also played Hockey, and Ah See, you can vouch for this). Met Tiong Sing at Uni. of Toronto. We chit chat a little and parted. Don't know why I never ask for his phone number. He is probably in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteSinos, Ronald and Denis Chan sound familiar but I cannot visualize their faces. Perhaps if I meet them someday in Vancouver... Hey, riding a bike is always fun; the freedom, air rushing all around you, but against a bullock cart, you'll lose. Ya, I'm always careful here as well. Good to hear from you, big boy.
John Lee, you memory is amazing. Definitely a few more if we were to include Rubber Road and its surroundings as well. There's Wong Tiong Sing and his siblings, Faridah Shahab, William Lim (off Rubber Road), Peter Ngiam (off Rubber Road West). Not a bad showing. Where is William? Anybody knows?
my
Hi...Lee Kien/Mike
ReplyDeleteDo not think that was Sophia. Alfred Wong would know, it might be Elizabeth Lee or Margaret Lee. She is a foochow and has a younger sister who was also a Teresian. Lucy Ngu and her siblings (Simon and James) lived nearby too. The Said brothers were, Ibrahim and Mohammed and their other brothers were also Josephians. Can anyone of you remember Ricky Chong, who's dad used to be a dentist near the police station and William Chee who's family used to ran an Optician near the open air market. I wonder where they are now. I do not know where William is now, hopefully some of our friends reading these blogs may know.
Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI think its Margaret Lee.She's foochow.We are still trying to locate her.Our only link is KCK but he says he has lost touch.Do you still keep in touch with her?
Ah Choon!! Where have you been these past 30 years? Glad to see you have resurfaced at last. What's the story man? Wife, kids, profession? Tell, man. Sure remember the good old days - where have they gone?
ReplyDeleteThis Ronald Chang goes by the name of Chang Soo Chuan. In Forn 3 ,he is in the D class together with Mark C, Lee Kian Seng ( he passed away few years ago )Robert or Ben or Ronald K should know this Ronald or Chang Soo Chuan.

ReplyDeleteNo, I am not in contact with ML. Btw, I wonder if other girls are still logging on to this blogs and joining in. Even Shau Pei has gone quiet too. You know what it's like....the boys would contribute and log on to the blogs more as soon as more of you girls join in. Would be nice to hear what you girls gossip about the boys from "across the bridge". Even posting as anons would be fine.....lol. I know how hard you had tried.....
Hey Francis, what about sending in a photo of yourself - beer belly and all - so that WJ can post it up. Dont worry la, we all getting tyres
