So to redeem myself, here's a Mini Album of photographs of our STS sisters from the 1970s. I'm afraid you guys will have to do the identification of the roses for yourselves. Nor can I provide any clues on when, where and why.
What's happening here ?
Baywatch ?
The Committee ?
Hitting the High Notes ?
Snacks and Beer ?
Over to you ....

OH John L, Where are you ? Why are you keeping soooo quiet ?
ReplyDeleteCan you name any of the girls and maybe some .
I know you can because you're very smart ?
Someone who know JL.
Hi...Anon 1:04
ReplyDeleteLike you I was hidding behind a pseudonym name as an Anon recently like so many of you guys/gals. If you can't beat them, join them....LOL.
Anyway, why do you think that a smart person would know the names of these lovely gals from across the bridge? It is more like WHO you know and NOT WHAT you know that also put alot of people in "high" places. Apology to those academics...this is a common saying and it happen a lot in places where I would not really like to state publicly (may be as an ANON and I can get away with it...). Btw, I am only an innocent shopkeeper's son, what do I know about gals?. The best person would be to ask Tuan WJ to disclose the keeper of these photos and this person surely will know some if not all the gals in the photos. My guess could be either Mrs JY or Mrs JK or LK?. Ok, to satisfy your curiosity, some of these lovely gals that I can recognised are: Shau Pey (Audrey); Jenny Poh; Lucy Ngu; Chih Shan; Hui Cheng, Elizabeth Lee; possibly Winnie; and of course Lee Kien too.
In fact I can tell you who would know most of the gals from across the bridge, our "old" friend, Philip Hii - who is currently living in Ireland. I would like to bet against anyone (male/female) to name anyone else who would know more than him. He was the Johnny Depp of our time. LOL
These photos must be one of the groups from the school society, could be the Choral/Dramtic Society.
The sequence of events could be:
Pic 3 - The members
Pic 1 - The welcome party to the show with VIPs and advisors/trachers
Pic 4 - The performers
Pic 5 - The after show makan, after a quick change. The beers were not for them, they were drinking coca cola, lah
Pic 2 - The outing at Santubong or bako after all the hard work
Best wishes to all.
Pic 1 - Crowd welcoming WJ to Kuching to attend Grand Reunion
ReplyDeletePic 2 - SWAT team in training to make sure all goes well at Grand Reunion
Pic 3 - Security contingent for the big occasion
Pic 4 - Rehearsals underway to provide entertainment at Grand Reunion
Pic 5 - Grand Reunion Food & Beverage sampling committee in action.

okay, that's all i know.
Thank you JL. I wes only kidding when I said you knew some of the girls. Have not heard from you for a while. ( kind of miss you.)
ReplyDeleteNext picture please WJ.
We are on the roll.
Friend of JL
Hi...All
ReplyDelete....I was thinking...mmZZZZmmmmZZZZmmm
I know this is not the right time to bring up this topic at this time of the year - i.e topic on Valentine's day (there was one already in Feb 09 blog) but this can be broaden into an Affectionate Day, expression of gesture by way of sending cards anonymously or otherwise and can be done at any time of the year.
Do you ever get cards like that?
Do you ever send one or a few to those you fancy even in a distance?
Do you ever send one in any context at all but anonymously?
Do you even thought of sending one but never get round to it?...hey they say it the thoughts that count but what's the point (only matters on love and affection), it will be too late and you lost the love of your life...maybe. LOL
Like in the song: My Way (made popular by Frank Sinatra) - ......Regrets I have had a few!!!!!!
Now, do not treat it just for love or affection only, you can send a nice card to a friend, a good friend, loved ones or family even just to say hello and/or just thinking of you and especially to those who are ill.
So, my friends, life is short, some of us are in our 50s, sending nice words, gesture of affections in any methods will make someone out there very happy even for a few seconds would mean alot. Like LK said how nice it is to be able to smell the flowers. Always remember, when you are feeling down - there are others who are worst than you.
On the lighter side: there was one year that I received a number of valentine cards and I have no idea who sent them and they were quite explicit, probably that's why they were anonymous!!!!. Hope they were from some female admirers!!! LOL
In the "Committee" photo #3, girl in front row seated 3rd from right is Beatrice Tan
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteYou have Jimmy to thank for.Ah the posting of Mr Novice perhaps helped to send that "avalanche" of secret female admirers..hahaha!
However all of us (you know who they are)are very touched by your thoughtful gesture. We only hope there are many more of you...makes the world a better place.Thanks so much & take care..
how come no post for Marians, WJ? not fair. LOL
ReplyDeletehopefully ex-Marian who had her first dance with David Ling can contribute some pics for WJ to respond to Anon 9.17am.
ReplyDeleteHey John,
ReplyDeleteWith more people joining the blog, better prepare sacks to keep all those Valentine cards coming your way..
Anon Oct 24 2009 9.17am..
Perhaps you may want to contribute photos to WJ & we may even help you re-connect with....
Anon 23Oct2009 6.20pm Correction! The girl name is Angelina Bateman.
ReplyDeleteOi! Oi! We are all married men and women. Cannot anyhow send Valentine cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon 6.20pm. Thousand apology. she is Angeline. Teresa is her sister (3 0r 4 years our senior)
ReplyDeleteValentine's Day was traditionally celebrated where lovers send cards to express their love etc.Nowadays anybody can send to any ANON as an expression of love,sharing joy and happiness to your friends,family and dear ones.
ReplyDeleteAnon October 24,2009 2.41PM you want a Valentine card too? You gotta provide address and who knows you might have to borrow the sacks from John
Hi..Anon 2:41
ReplyDeleteThere is no age restriction on sending V cards, lah or any other cards. In fact, it makes it even more interesting to receive a V card or admiration card from an admirer now or later!!!!!, makes us feel alive and wanted and the feeling that someone out there still desire us or thinking of us!!! as well as keeping our tickers working overtime. LOL
So...Anon 2:41 and all, your next task is: to go out and get a card (can be of gratitude, thank you, thinking of you, love, friendship card, etc) and send it to one or more persons - friends or family. You do not even have to put your name on it. I can guarantee your action(s) will touch the receiver that words cannot expressed.
BAH ! VALENTINE DAY IS SHEER COMMERCIALIZATION. ALL NONSENSE CREATED BY GREETING CARD AND FLORISTS TO SEPERATE THE GULLIBLE FROM THEIR MONEY
ReplyDeleteRM100 bouquets,RM400 dinners,RM150 boxes of chocolate etc etc around Valentine Day. with this kind of cut throat pricing I also agree with Scrooge.

ReplyDeleteWah, who you Sabun King? You so familiar with the STS girls and teachers
ReplyDeleteHi Sabun King,
ReplyDeleteI don't see Mrs Paul in the 1st picture.Is there something wrong with my computer?
There are no Annabelle & Evelyn Kiew in the picture taken in 1975.
Hmmm Curious Cat..i think i know the identity of Sabun King
Is the girl standing on left in Baywatch pic Mrs JK (Kim), who came to the Ipoh Kopi Tiam? also if i not wrong, she in Committee pic, back row right. Am i right, doc ?
ReplyDeleteHiya Lee Kien, Mrs Paul in 1st pix on the right, dressed in sari. I wasn't sure if its Evelyn Kiew or not ma, tats why I put a question mark after her name. not Annabelle Guan k, another Annabelle, tats d name every girls call her ma, cant recall the surname la. If u knew my identity, please keep it to yourself k, u dont hv to tell the whole world or put in the newspapers. the time will come when everyone will be revealed. Only a handful knows who am I.
ReplyDeleteSabun King & WJ,
ReplyDeleteIts not my PC that i can't see Mrs Paul.I tried checking the blog using other lap tops the pictures are ok.Maybe this PC too ancient.
WJ,
Can check why if i use certain PC the pictures got "cropped off".I can only see half the face of the girl next to Mrs Goh.
Sabun King,
Apologies lah..i don't intend to reveal your identity lah
No problemo la, Lee Kien, small matter la, if every anonymous, etc, etc are revealed ha, then there's no fun anymore. Game here is 'keep everybody guessing who's this n who's tat'. Heard tat Tan Pheng n James Lau r coming to our big reunion guys, bravo! welcome aboard!
ReplyDeletePictures cropped off? Must be outdated browser software. Upgrade your browser la!
ReplyDeleteLeo, i dont think that is the probelm. Anyway now that you are on the line...i remembered you were trying to help find Judy Liew.
ReplyDeleteWell she has been located and i now have her e-mail.If anyone wants to connect her please let me know.Thanks so much for your efforts.
Wah, Lee Kien, so late you still up and typing huh? Sister Sylvia 'lai lo'. If I'm not wrong ho, Judy Liew is in Perth rite? Is she still there or has she relocated?
ReplyDeleteSabun King-SK,
ReplyDeleteAiyoh, choose lah more glamourous name like Sugar King..
Not scared of Sister Sylvia, never was ha!ha!ha!Yeap, Judy is still in Perth.I had "recruited her" to join this blog.If you want more news please e-mail me.Had just re-connected with her after 30 years lah.
Well, since you ask...
Both our sisters were in a park in KL and they discovered they are both from Cat town.Her sister then passed her e-mail to my sister and that's how i found her again!
She is in touch with some of our friends in Oz.
Lee Kien, apologies for the failure. Tried ringing her brother many many many times but no answer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you are not the only person asking for her contact. So please pass her contact to CSKG who has also been asking.
Now, probably you can find out from her why her brother is not answering calls.
Good Morning Leo,
ReplyDeleteHey thank you Leo, i know you tried your best lah...She was with me in London and we kinda lost touch for 30 years.now fate has it we are re-connected again.We are catching up with lost time.
If anyone wants her contact please e-mail me at chenleekien@prupartner.com.my or any of the Liew family let me know.
I am keeping my fingers crossed..looking for Diana Ho. I should be able to contact her soon..
Aiyoyoyo, LK, nevermind sis sylvia la. I make soap n supply everywhere mar, so tats what they call me lo. They dont call me that for nothing yunno, hehe.
