Lipp Kee in Miri

.
Our intrepid man in Miri, Leo Sia, sent in these two photos showing Lipp Kee and family in Oil Town.

Where was this taken?

Two slightly mature Red Crossers (Crescenters?) reunited ...

Can someone help name the individuals in the line-up ...

Next stop Mulu ?

Mini-Tornado in Miri ?

.
I was sent a couple of these photos recently. Thanks Stephen!

Interesting weather phenomena. This apparently happened on 26 April 2010. Did anyone witness this? Any damage or injuries? It looks like it was way out at sea, so unless you're an unfortunate sailor or fisherman at the wrong spot and the wrong time, I reckon it should not have caused too much havoc.

Any meteorologists or scientists out there want to explain how these things happen?

Meeting fellow Josephians

A few weeks ago at a cafe in Singapore, James Yong met up with a sometime MSN Messenger and blogging friend, James Wong (Form 5, 1978) and his sister Ruth Wong (also a Josephian sixth former, a few years before us).

James Wong was in Singapore for a short trip. He and his family live in Miri, where apart from his normal healthcare business, healso enjoys photography. He's a pretty talented photographer, as can be seen if you view some of his pictures on his blog (http://jameswong.wordpress.com/) .

Ruth Wong is a senior educationalist at the National Institute of Education, Singapore. Ruth was also one of the organisers of several Josephian get-together dinners when Bro Columba happened to pass through Singapore.

Always nice to catch up with folks from home ...

Passing of Tan Chin Chai (Form 5 Arts 1)

It is with sadness that I share with you news of the passing of Tan Chin Chai, our old friend from Form 5 Arts 1 (1976).

I was informed that ChinChai passed away suddenly of heart attack in Miri on 14th March 2009. Chin Chai had moved to Miri several years ago, and started a business there.

He leaves behind a wife and two young children.

May he rest in peace.
