Passing of Julian Wee

Just received the extremely sad news that our friend Julian Wee (Form 5 Arts 1, 1976) has passed away this afternoon (22 April 2009) at 12:48pm in his own house in KL. He has been battling lung cancer for 2 years and passed away peacefully.

Julian is a Muslim and his burial will be this afternoon at Bukit Tiara Taman Tun Muslim Cemetery at around 5:30pm.

Those concerned can call Ben Wong at 012 8989868. He is currently at Julian's house. Ben was very close to Julian after they started working. He was at his bedside when Julian passed away.


I remember Julian as a most friendly and helpful friend in school. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him. Let us all pray for him. May he rest in peace.

A Gift from John Lee

Our friend John Lee (Form 5 Arts 1) living in Huddersfield, UK sent me an email this morning, and enclosed some absolutely precious photos, whichI'm sure all of the Form 5 Arts 1 members and many others will appreciate.

First here's the note ...

Hi....James

Thanks for the good work you have done in the blogspot so far, long may it continue and thanks to those who have contributed as well. "Spread the word", I would say......not just to our classmates, schoolmates are welcome too as well as from our other sisters and brothers schools. I am sure if there are contributions from them, you can create a separate section.

I have managed to find a couple of old photos of myself (only of my best poses, in my opinion), taken in '75 (with glasses) and another taken in '79. In my searches, I have also come across our form 5 Arts 1, class photo where everyone in the class have put their signature on the back of it.......a treasure!!!

Best wishes

Regards
John

Wow, a treasure indeed. Thanks John for taking good care of such a wonderful momento. So guys, enjoy the photos ...
