I just received these photos from Chris Sim Kay Guan.
CSKG just met with Chris Kuek (5Sc, 1976) this afternoon at the Pan Pac hotel at KLIA. CK had just come from Mumbai, India and was enroute to Indonesia. CSKG related that "... he looks exactly like when he was in Form 5. We caught up on what we've been doing for the last 6-7 years and shared info on some of our classmates. After that I sent him to LCCT for his Air Asia flight to Pekan Baru."
Actually at the end of last month, CK had called CSKG and myself, when he was on his way to India. That was when he and CSKG arranged to meet at KLIA. Unfortunately he didn't pass thru Singapore, so I haven't had a chance to meet him. Another time but soon, old buddy.
Chris Kuek is now based in Ballarat, Melbourne together with his wife, Sarah, and 2 children, Bernard (19) and Katherine (15). He has been working with English Chinese Clay for 12 years now and his area of coverage is from Australia to China and from India to Japan. His personal e-mail: kuekb@bigpond.com. He is keen to reconnect with old friends.
My reaction to the above photos is: What the heck is CK eating that's making him look so young? I took a look back at his old school photos and it's amazing. See for yourself ...
CK, if you've found the "fountain of youth" or the "elixir of life", don't keep it for yourself. Please share with your fast "maturing" buddies !

ReplyDeleteCSKG, i think the date setting on your camera may be wrong, if these photos were from Sunday 7 March 2010.
ReplyDeleteHi CK,
ReplyDeleteMy fellow Red Cresent member....It is great to have your news. We have been trying to locate you for a while....
I suppose you are with " English China Clays"? Tell us more!
Best Regards
CK's youthful looks seems to be forever. Ya, whatever u eating and drinking, i'll buy some from u, ok?
ReplyDeletePerhaps the fact that Ballarat is generally filled with happy tourists is a contributor to Chris's youth. Or it simply is in his jeans(..I meant genes!).
ReplyDeleteCK, great to see you looking ever so youthful. Look forward to seeing you more on the blog. Please tell us more about yourself.
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, Chris Kuek sure looks young man, yeah, what has he been eating? Another Robert Chin's gang. Doesn't Chris Kuek looks a little like Leonard Sia?
ReplyDeleteDoes Chris Kuek know about this blog? How come no comment from him? Hey, CK where are you?

ReplyDeleteThere's another fellow by the name of Leonard Sia who used to be attached to Bank Utama.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know this Mr. Leonard Sia. He was my colleague during my Bank Utama days and also my ex-landlord.
ReplyDeleteNo idea where is he now.
B. Sinos, he was once attached to Bank Utama Bintulu. Sometime in the early 1990s right?
ReplyDeleteIs he also an ex-josephian?
CK ... where are you? why so quiet?
ReplyDeleteGuess he's too shy to appear on our blog la. I remember he's the shy and quiet type of person back in 1974.
ReplyDeleteWalau! So long and still not a peep from CK ...
