2ND EDITION "FRIENDSHIP CONTACT BOOK"

The 1st Edition was created and distributed to those who attended the Reunion Dinner in 2002. It was the first ever contact lists of our classmates or school mates for year 88 (Form 5) and year 90 (Form 6) and compiled by me and Stephen Yii with our classmates' help such as John Wong , Patrick Ling and others.

In the beginning stage at that moment, we were faced some problem as some of our classmates or school mates were not comfortable to publish their contact in the contact lists. Therefore, we have no choice but just put their name and the area they are currently situated at in the book. In actual fact, the content which we put in the contact book are the general information such as name, address, contact number, email address, occupation, marital status and some minor info.

As for the 2nd Edition, I sincerely urge all of our classmates or school mates, please do your part to give your current info or who you know and get their consent to publish in the contact book and give to me, Patrick, Stephen, John, Eng Soon, Joseph or others who are willing to help. We hope to gather all the necessary info as soon as possible.

Should anyone of you would like to give your view on the 2nd Edition "Friendship Contact Book", please feel free to do so and comment in this blog.

Regards.

YEAR 2007 REUNION POSTPONED

First of all, Happy New Year to all of you.

The reason I put up this post is to let all of you know that our 2007 reunion had been postponed for this year as informed by John Fam and seconded by Eng Soon. Patrick had mistaken that John is looking for a volunteer to take over his task as John had tried his best effort to find one but to no avail. The reunion had become an annual event to us when come to Chinese New Year while most of our classmates are coming back to Sibu once a year. Unfortunately, most of us are not going back to Sibu during CNY due to family commitment or others. Furthermore, those who stayed in Sibu even not turned up for the reunion and only those who stayed outstation support our annual event. The most sad part is our reunion had been simplified from dinner based to a gathering starting last year if I am not mistaken. From the turned up rate last year, whats the reason our attendance became lesser and lesser? If thats continued on and I could say that our annual reunion will come to an end one day. Now the question is should we organised annually? Maybe Patrick, John, Eng Soon, Stephen or those who read this post, please do give your precious view on this issue. Another thing is should we ask those who stayed in Sibu to organise this annual event as those who worked outstation had lack of time to organise when they come back to Sibu. I think all of us had tried our very best to keep our precious annual reunion to continue on every year but unfortunely this year 2007 had missed the event due to unforseen circumstances. We should proud that our reunion had been carried on for about 17 or 18 years already.

Last but not the least, wish all of you all the best in your personal life, career and health.
