Let's see what our trusty NST frontpage says today (9 Dec 1976)...
Hmmm ... Problems between Vietnam and Thailand brewing ... Malaysia's PM was Hussein Onn, with Mahathir as Deputy PM ... Exxon and Petronas still in the news ... And the stylish among us write with Waterman pens, clean our faces with pHisoDerm and wear Bata shoes :-)
Updates
Today I'm going to reveal a bit more about our Lucky Draw prizes. While we haven't quite ordered the prizes in terms of value and indicated them as #1 ,#2, #3, etc, it is most likely that the top prizes will include:
* Return Air Asia tickets KL-London-KL for Two
(See the Big Ben, Westminster, Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Sq, etc)
with free 1 week stay for two persons at apartment provided (thanks Dato' Anthony!)
* Cisco MinoHD Flip pocket camcorder (http://www.theflip.com/)
(Take HD quality video & easily share with friends & family)
* Three One-Year Subscriptions to The Borneo Post
(applicable only for Sarawak residents)
* Complementary (2 days, 1 night) stay at Merdeka Palace

The prizes sound exciting ! Anyone who's still deciding better register now !!!
ReplyDeleteHow you done so Anon 10.57AM ?
ReplyDeletePlease make sure there is a prize drawn among those classmates who registered not coming, more chance wah!
ReplyDeleteBetter still, only draw for those that are overseas.
Air ticket to kuching from any part of the world will do.
You wish ! No come, no chance ! Hehehe
ReplyDeleteWah such good prizes available. Mr Clarence will confirm that the probability of winning the ticket to London is 1/68 (better odds than ban jee pio) and to win the siem reap ticket as well, the probability is 1/68 x 1/68. Well, Mr Clarence, I did pay attention in class rather than dreaming about the beauties from across the road. Unlike WJ who not only dreamed but actually captured one. LOL LOL.
ReplyDeleteMathematician,
ReplyDeletePlease, or please....Show some respect....obviously you did not listen to Ta Ker at school...respect the others...
You left out the guests, there are 7 more leh! So it should be 1/75...hehehehe Or else they may not turn up that night!
Check out the little news item at the bottom of the page: "When a masseur is like a mechanic".
ReplyDeleteWow! The Flip camcorder hasn't even come out in Malaysia yet!
ReplyDeleteWah, great prizes man, hoping to win any air ticket so must make sure I turn up for the GRD. Er, the prizes also open for invited guests hah?
ReplyDeleteHey we're almost at 90,000 !!! Can we reach 100,000 by the Grand Reunion ???
ReplyDeleteSorry, some revision to the prizes needed ! The two return KL-London-KL tickets from Air Asia, are in replacement of the Siem Reap tickets. But for the London trip, Dato' Anthony has kindly offered to provide free 1 week's accomodation.
ReplyDeletewah..good food,good show and goodest prizes for the luckiest draw.
ReplyDeleteCan attend by proxy or not.
New Straits Times in 1976 cost 25 cents now 2009 cost 1.80

WJ,3rd prize should read 'Free-one-year subscription to the Borneo Post' I think, instead of 'Three-one-year'
ReplyDeleteHi Norbert - i think it's correct. We actually have THREE free subscriptions to Borneo Post (each of 1 year duration). So three lucky persons can win.
ReplyDeleteSorry WJ sir, now I know. Three prizes of 'a year's newspaper for free' so three lucky persons can win. A very very lucky person can win the three prizes or not?
ReplyDeleteYa loh ... three subscriptions to be read one in the morning, one for lunch & one for dinner. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've been asked to urge you guys to bring your duty free spirits and wine as we only provide beers for the nite.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, Merdeka Palace will NOT charge us corkage on spirits (brandy, whiskey, bourbon, etc etc ) and wine, but they WILL charge for beer corkage. Beer will be provided.
So if each guy who drinks can bring 1 or 2 bottles, we will all have a rolling good time. Hic.
If I comimg, it will be with 3 bottles of either brandy, whiskey or wine OR any combination of them. How's that?
ReplyDeleteAnyone interested in Vodka? I think can bring 1 or 2 bottles beside brandy, whisky and red wine. Those who can't drink better get some training 1st, if you think of joining us for the drinking sessions, hehe.
ReplyDeleteWhat if some of the guys got drunk and can't drive themselves home, any rooms for them to spend the night at the hotel? No female companion nevermind, must have room, sleep on floor also OK.
