Billy was already there.  Alan aka Chatboy (really?) and Simon sauntered in gay-ly a moment later.  Mr White (aka Jeff Lim Chong Kee) was there with his family and joined us briefly…Guys, if you remember, he was also there when we gathered at Kent Ridge last year…too much of a coincidence, duncha think?…could it be he’s stalking one of us?

Fabian, David &amp;amp; Edward had to cancel when they suddenly remembered they had to spend Chap Gor Meh with their families … so that left the “homeless” 5 to partake in the CNY Lo Hei experience … actually, there was more Lo then Hei as we decided not to order the yusheng since some of us had it for lunch earlier.  The small number lent a cosy and  intimate feel to the evening, and I’m liking it cause I got to spend quality time with a bunch of my favorite guys…☺&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Chatboy prodded my piece (commented that it was very unresponsive) and exhorted me to touch his thingy … Simon dreamed about freshly caught fish steamed to perfection.  The love-sick Jack played &lt;strike&gt;AC/DC&lt;/strike&gt; sappy love songs in his head and longed for Xanadu (so gay!)…and Billy lamented the demise of our buffet days.  True, true… these days, we are more a la carte than all-you-can-eat!  Gone are the days that I can actually eat 5 Big Macs or an entire large pizza is a single sitting … (although I wonder why I’ve been looking kinda tubby lately…)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dun ask me how, but the topic suddenly changed to FUTSAL (WTF?)…I wiki’ed it at home and found out (to my dismay) that I have apparently agreed to play some kind of “small-scale football”.  (I was in Primary 3 the last time I played…but was kicked off the team for throwing the ball “like a girl”…so my football career ended before it even started … luckily …)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am the designated Watergirl, or as Jack so subtly put it, “The Water Bitch!” … yes, I’m hopeful that I’ll get to play, and kick some balls … preferably his.  So if you guys reading this are itching (to put on your very short shorts) to join our new Futsal team, please contact any of us for more details.  We hope to get the balls rolling very soon … (insert eye-roll if you think this is too corny)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strike&gt;Tan&lt;/strike&gt; Eng Joo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This post is for Alan…and everyone else who miss my silly &lt;strike&gt;top&lt;/strike&gt; notes on Facebook)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-1224558084709878462?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/1224558084709878462/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=1224558084709878462' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/1224558084709878462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/1224558084709878462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2011/02/15meh-aiyah-chap-gor-meh-lah.html' title='15meh!

The excitement &amp;amp; expectations culminating to this event. The turnout was not what we would have liked it to be, but the atmosphere and the camaraderie was excellent. as such, the committee would like to thank all who turned up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ambiance was excellent, the food to die for and the desert - simply divine! With tender ribs, lamb shank, pasta for dinner, a smooth Hoegaarden beer to help with the mood, we topped that off with desert. Namely the Cheese cake &amp;amp; Bernard's recommendation the molten choc fondants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/ACS/Annual-Gathering-Hosted-2010/IMG1202/1130681468_8wNGK-L.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/ACS/Annual-Gathering-Hosted-2010/IMG1202/1130681468_8wNGK-L.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serious planning&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you would expected it, Jack commented about the molten chocolate fondants "Now I know how a woman feels like the first time a man c@mms in her mouth!" ;-) For that, thanks Bernard, our "Host" for that evening covering the deserts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The talk that night centered around the preservation of youth. The likes of Kay Heem and Lip Wei were at the top of the list!

Last night, a bunch of them descended on V-Golf for a night of debauchery…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neja, in a subdued mood, appeared in a black ensemble, understated and elegant…at least on the surface…Her escorts for the night was Simon, her long-time consort, and Dave, international playboy aka Faye’s Ex…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andrew, as usual, was the gracious host. Charming with an engaging smile that left quite an impression…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gordan was the first to arrive…Billy came, golfed a little…and left…(Baby, you never kissed me goodbye!) First-timers (to me at least), Lip Wei (I think there’s a shot somewhere), Nagesh, Robin (I almost mistook him for Woffles), Wai Kin (walau, so handsome leh!) paid lip service to this old girl…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bernard (yes, buy Natuzzi!) was there. There was talk about joining him in Bintan for an excursion of sorts. Just Neja and an entire orgy of guys…and the flying fox…and the trampoline…wouldn’t that be SOOOO fun?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was legal eagle, Winston, who charged her with assault and battery on his child-self a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Strangely, Neja has no recollection of this offence…although she remembered smacking a certain James for obstruction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan was really, really late…but the important thing is he came…all over me. Was there a shot of our embrace?…we can totally blackmail him!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fabian…you really can’t go wrong with a name like that…it’s almost like Fabio (you remember him on the covers of those trashy romance novels from a long time ago?)…yes, I was in heaven there in his arms…or was he in mine?...oh dear, I’m getting a bit muddled…the night was a blur…David, stop prying me with alcohol…I’m not Faye, you know…I’m a good girl…at least I think I still am…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack arrived…and brought it…vintage Jack'isms…like an old wine, intoxicating, with warm undertones…so the heavy drinking commenced….and the salacious talk…about girls in shorts the size of PSP…hmm…must go back and look in my "drawers"…I think I have some of those…smaller even...like postage stamps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was kinda fun, and strangely endearing watching those Boyz to Men…reverting from Men to Boyz again after imbibing…I guess not much has changed after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for the first time in her life, she stayed up past her bedtime, her curfew and what-not, and did not reach home until about 2 am in the morning…hungover and in a whole lot of trouble…but she can’t wait to do it all over again…when they gather to watch the World Cup next month…football anyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thks Neja for that wonderful write-up :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Looks like the world cup is upon us ... when should we gather again?&lt;br /&gt;- Alan Fu&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-203540524012781754?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/203540524012781754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=203540524012781754' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/203540524012781754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/203540524012781754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2010/06/21-may-2010-at-v-golf-where-acss81-boys.html' title='21 May 2010 at V-Golf - Where the (ACSS81) boys are'/><author><name>chatboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12190840712072791752</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>20</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328847716546583203.post-3678663704196421500</id><published>2010-03-11T07:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-11T07:38:00.811-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Guess who’s up for the title of sexiest and most s(ti)imulating golfer?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="description"&gt;pls note the following post was written by Neja, I'm just the lazy vessel to cut &amp;amp; paste from her facebook album. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;- Alan Fu (11 Mar 2010):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PSI must be reaching critical levels, coz Neja showed up at the gathering looking rather…cough-cough&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/S5kM4Hduk2I/AAAAAAAAAZM/1VcKQWKAahM/s1600-h/DSCN6398a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/S5kM4Hduk2I/AAAAAAAAAZM/1VcKQWKAahM/s200/DSCN6398a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447399382497268578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;…chesty (see group pix). Word have gotten around that she was monopolizing the guys at these events, so she found herself having to face off fierce competition from 3 ladies-of-the-night (not that they were any match for her) as they were encrouching on her territory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First off, she would like to thank the ever-debonair Chet and the Simon Cowell-ish Mr Benson Puah for hosting the evening… kudos also to Vin Sen for stepping in and performing the escort duties most gallantly, to Simon for always being there, to Alan for making it comfortable, to Andrew for the night tour of his facilities...and of course, to Jack San for "stooding" me up!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was talk about making V-Golf the venue for our next outing.

But before the night was over, the guys have each played a set (I posed only) and it was clearly so much fun!!! Not to mention, the ambience was conducive for a little flirtation with Neja (if you are so inclined) when you are tired of all that golf action!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I’m going to jump the gun and ask you guys to clear your calendars for our next date on 21 May 2010 (Friday).

Once again as the snake gang of ACSS 81! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are pleased to see an average of 30 pax turning out at our "annual" gathering ...&lt;br /&gt;Although this year, this is our 2nd "annual" gathering. If u missed the first, it was on 30 Jan 09. We welcome many new faces - Shentley, Muthiah, Sinthu, Meng, Eric Tang (my classmate whom I can't recognise! - sorry bro!), and others ... sorry if I missed you out cos my brains are not what it was 28yrs ago ... that's if I had a brain at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that at least Sinthu and Meng both came back to Singapore to visit just for this&lt;br /&gt;event!

Yes! A marathon, that is!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yes indeed ... Mr Chan Meng Hui is Singapore's oldest marathoner. And having said that ... puts us ALL to shame!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is the father of Wei Siong, one of our own in ACS Class of '81. And I wonder, Wei Siong, do u pace yr dad during the 42.142KM ? ;-) 8hrs! Man ... that is endurance. As Erik mentioned, he broke his foot doing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; the 1/4 marathon 2yrs back ... heh heh ... if he had trained for the "full", would he have broken his leg instead? Or maybe ...broke it in 4 parts. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I have tried to run the marathon twice but managed to complete it only once in 1994 - The Singapore Marathon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my first try, in 1984, I trained together with some friends. We ran Macritchie, met at stadiums after school, and also participated in the many events organised by the CCs (Community Centers as they were known then). It was great fun. When the day finally arrived, I was so excited. Did the carbo-load and all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/SmUarp1Ue8I/AAAAAAAAAYc/h1qUSTHS2K8/s1600-h/Marathon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 406px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/SmUarp1Ue8I/AAAAAAAAAYc/h1qUSTHS2K8/s200/Marathon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360720268720634818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flag-of was 6am (if memory serves me ..). As we started to run, we hit Nicholl Highway. Suddenly,  we heard a loud "kling-klang-klung"! We turned around and saw this guy straddled across the distance marker! He must have ran straight into it. Then someone else shouted "Oi! Kwa char-bor har??!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't long after that, we truned the corner to Mountbatten Rd and soon passed Katong Shopping Center. There I recalled, and old auntie who was pushing a trolley of cardboard box saying "Chiak pah bo tai chi cho!" LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly can't recalled where we ran, but I know I arrived at Boundary Road and was approaching the 1/2 mark (Ang Mo Kio Swimming Complex?). Legs were still doing well, and I was soaked in sweat. Stil pacing myself I arrived at the 1/2 marathon finish point. As it happened, my friends who were faster had decided to stop and call it a day. When they waved and called out to me, I picked a drink and stopped to chat. I know! BIG MISTAKE! They decided to leave and I decided to continue running ... as I ran, my mind started playing tricks on me :( All the way till I arrived at Up Thompson Rd, I decided that I can't finish the race. I also thought that I had better go back to the 1/2 way mark and collect my souvenier T-shirt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's when it happened. I turned around and walked all the way back got my T-shirt. Against shouts from the on-comming runners joking, "Hey! The finish point is that way!", all pointing behind me. It was a horror-movie that never ends each time I tell this story. And, of course, when I arrived at the 1/2 mark, my friends were gone and I had to find my way back home all alone. I was haunted by this decision till 1994 when I did complete the race. - That is a story for another day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Uncle Chan ... Way to go! You have my fullest admiration and I'm sure the cohort of ACSS 81 will be cheering you on!

Facebook-like screens) to update the current &lt;a href="http://ACSoba.net"&gt;http://ACSoba.net &lt;/a&gt;... that way we can connect with other ACSians past and present to enhance the possibilities of generating synergy amongst ourselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/Sl7FXLMLphI/AAAAAAAAAX0/g7sNrQbOz28/s1600-h/15jul09b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 223px; height: 167px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/Sl7FXLMLphI/AAAAAAAAAX0/g7sNrQbOz28/s200/15jul09b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358937608549017106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well ... all that aside, we had bak-pau, char-siew pau, siew-mai and lor-mai-kai ;-) with Beer to wash it down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the evening wore on, Benson was hoping to get another OBA Member's night going towards the year end. He also said that he might 'piggy-back' on our groups gathering venue cum dinner .... so .... watch for it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about moving our "annual" gathering to Nov/Dec instead of CNY '10?

I know at least one of them called home to say "Honey, I won't be able to make it for dinner tonight. Something's come up!" (yes! got me there .. another pun.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had Bufflao platters, Bullalo wings, wine and beer. If that didn't lift our spirits up ... nothing else would.

We cycle the entire distance on the track (without even getting onto the main road) - except for rare distracting scenery; so encourage those who want to try this, join us. We shall try to host one morning and one evening ride; for those without bikes you can rent it at nearby kiosk. Drop us a note to add you in the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/photos/511409512_wApAM-S.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/photos/511409512_wApAM-S.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We took a shot of each other right at the end of Changi point (the tip where you board the ferry) ! Yes we are also planning a longer ride - one over the Ubin and another round the entire East Coast Park connector which runs from ECP to Changi to Loyang to Pasir Ris to Tampines to Bedok Reservoir to Kembangan and then back to ECP.

Are u a model? Well I must admit it ... When she first contacted me &amp;amp; showed me her photos ... I drooled ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Then it struck me .... Was she one of the KC girls from 81? Wow! Sounds like Sarath's dream for the next reunion is coming true! ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Then she revealed more about herself I was really surprised that she knew sooo much about us! Yes, the guys of ACSS81! How so?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Well ... I can reveal that she also dated some of you. ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest that we all make a guess as to who she is. Prize for getting this right? I'll buy a round of drinks .... errr no ... make that dinner for the person with the correct answer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okie now ... where shall we claim that prize? Well, I've got the perfect place. One where the idea was shelved for our last gathering .... one where the name would make our wives lock us up in the room and throw away the keys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://hooters.com.sg/"&gt;HOOTERS!!!!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how about that guys? The race to the right answer is ON!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest that we have this gathering at Hooters on Thurs evening on 2 Apr 09.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we good for that? In any case ... this will be an informal gathering, so whoever can make it do pop-over. Just drop me an email and let me know if u are coming, ok? That way, we can make a reservation for a table or two ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-161444687801557716?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/161444687801557716/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=161444687801557716' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/161444687801557716'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/161444687801557716'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2009/03/fwd-who-heck-is-she.html' title='Who the heck is she?!!'/><author><name>chatboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12190840712072791752</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vmW8T8D04w8/Sb7fI9T8SiI/AAAAAAAAAWY/sBHDgseTJI4/s72-c/neja.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328847716546583203.post-4146949287883463892</id><published>2009-02-10T02:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-10T03:06:27.587-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='activity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='trap shooting'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACSS'/><title type='text'>Trap Shooting</title><content type='html'>As discussed during our recent meet-up, just wondering if anyone might be interested in trap shooting? Since many of us have served national service, this hobby/sport might interest some of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trap shooting is done with a Beretta double-barrel 12 gauge shotgun (see photo) and the target is a 4 inch wide clay "pigeon" painted in orange paint.. it's like shooting a flying bird and the target is never stationary. This sport will challenge your hand-eye coordination and reflexes. Trap shooting is relatively inexpensive and if there is interest, I can organize a group shoot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shoot will be held at the Singapore Gun Club located at Rifle Range road. First-timers are required to pay $65 for the following:&lt;br /&gt;a) one-time safety briefing &amp;amp; instruction - $25&lt;br /&gt;b) gun rental &amp;amp; insurance - $20&lt;br /&gt;c) box of 25 cartridges - $20&lt;br /&gt;If you want to shoot more rounds, you can purchase them at $20 per box.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In future when you return for another shoot, you just rent the gun at $20 and pay for cartridges at $20 per box (25 rounds). This ought to be cheaper than golf. The weight of the gun is approx 4kg (abt same as M16 rifle) with similar recoil. Women and children age 12 &amp;amp; above can also take part in this olympic sport which is very safe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please register your interest to me (Billy Tan) and let's make this a new and interesting way to meet old friends.

As we reach out to more Class of 81 mates, and plus this online blog + other online tools, it is easy to post a simple/small get-together. There are couple of us chipping in to help manage this blog - Wei Siong, Alan, Timothy and myself; keeping it updated and spam-free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we are planning for a small get-together this Mar - RIDE and DRINK; a two hour sunset ride along ECP along the park connector from Bedok jetty to Changi Pt (or as far as you can ride) and then final stop will be Sunset Bay for food + drinks ! Lots of free car-parking here and we did a small gathering at Sunset Bay in 2008 Apr/May and everyone enjoyed it ! It is right by the beach ! The date is not finalized, and wanted to seek opinion if this is one activity that generate interest. Week day 4.30pm - late recommended, Bike rental is $8 for two-hour and estimated $30 for food + wine (dutch-basis). If we can the numbers of 6, we can plan for the event and sent out the invite to the group, so please please give your vote !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drop a comment of your tots or recommendation, there has been this desire to go for the Tree-Top walk !

Are you from ACS?</title><content type='html'>Seems that Fabian was first on the scene. It was already 5.50pm, but I was still on a conference call at the office. :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I arrived at the Guild House at 6.30 I was excited to see a small group gathered around a table at the bar having a drink or two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon we were out on the patio with a buffet spread of soup &amp;amp; salad, scallops, &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/photos/464678774_tQfAh-S.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://bellbelle.smugmug.com/photos/464678774_tQfAh-S.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;beef, lamb &amp;amp; fish and to top it off ... dessert! While we had the food and the chit-chat,  I'd like to add a BIG thank you to Sarath for getting conned by a pretty girl (honourary member of ACSS81), who then bought a bottle of Highland Park Single Malt whiskey for all of us!  In my opinion ... it was pretty smooth ... on the rocks ... err the whiskey ... not the girl nor my marriage! ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the record, the remaining 1/2 bottle is in Gordon's name. It's safely kept at the Guild House cabinet :-P&lt;br /&gt;So ... if n e one needs a drink ... go pull Gordon along!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well ... for me, the most memorable phrase that was heard that night was Bernard Gunara's "Do I know you? Are you from ACS?" ! Here is one man, whenever he bumps into someone familiar, looks at him and asks, "Do I know you? Are you from ACS?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again, the other conversation that went around was, "I thot we had a poll and Hooters won? Why did we end up here at the Guild House??!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems that many of you were disappointed at not meeting up at Hooters .... but during the gathering, a quick straw poll indicated that we shoud have a reunion with the KC girls of 91 ... if they reject us, we'll ask the KC girls of 81 (I won't say who suggested this cos I don't want to get Sarath in trouble). How bout that? ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, for the next gathering, we are seriously looking for suggestions :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year, we managed to contact more than 30 of you. Many send their apologies due to last minute demand in their work or personal life. The official turnout stands at 29. Thank your for coming and making this event memorable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, until we meet again, let us continue to "Echo the sound of ACS forever!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;Alan Fu on behalf of&lt;br /&gt;Wei Siong, Fabian, Timo &amp;amp; Purdy (in absentia)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: For those who did not recieve any of these invites,  do register in the acss81 googlegroup. We'll be in touch. We promise ...

I am sure some of you may ask. Technically speaking ... nothing. In fact, this shud go into a blog entry for ACJS (or ACSJ as it is now called) ... unfortunately ... I do not have a blog for that :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to those who were from ACJS, dig up your old memories back to 1977 - a little boy named P George Matthew played the violin with piano accompaniment on Founder's day. Soon after that, he left us and headed to the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, he is an activist in the area of charity performance in the world of Classical Music. He has been touted as the Bono (U2) or Bob Geldof (Boomtown Rats) - remember Band Aid or Live Aid? Songs like Do they know it Christmas/Feed the World! I believe that as time pass on ... he may be in the list of Nobel Prize Winners :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well comming up this Monday 12 Jan 2009 he will be conducting Gustav Mahler's 3rd Symphony in this massive orchestra and choir for the Children of Aids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guys ... if you like to know more ... do click on&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mahlerforthechildren.org/"&gt;http://www.mahlerforthechildren.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a photo shot of him and an interview with George (in 2007) is here on the NYMagazine (when he did a concert for the children in Sudan):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/26039/"&gt;http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/26039/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;Alan Fu&lt;br /&gt;PS: George has been in my Facebook friend list for a while now and we have been in touch.

Both her coaches were old boys ;-) ... there u have it ... da link!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were some shady story behind that move, but I shall not go into that ... after all ... it is water under the bridge. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to Tao Li ... I wish her well. She's only 18. In 4 yrs let's hope she'd have peaked and able to win a medal for Singapore! She needed to shave off a 0.29sec from her personla best and she'd be neck n neck for the Bronze today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for now, our medal hopes rest on Li Jia Wei our Table Tennis wonder!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then ... au revoir!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-7764952415708798754?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/7764952415708798754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=7764952415708798754' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/7764952415708798754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/7764952415708798754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2008/08/hooray-for-tao-li.html' title='Hooray for Tao Li!!!'/><author><name>chatboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12190840712072791752</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328847716546583203.post-3420909145096652230</id><published>2008-08-07T08:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T08:25:53.688-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Alan did it again !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xXOWH7IOlls/SJsTdlztN7I/AAAAAAAACkA/9GyZ9c77s_g/s1600-h/untitled.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xXOWH7IOlls/SJsTdlztN7I/AAAAAAAACkA/9GyZ9c77s_g/s320/untitled.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231796791207081906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;here's the latest statistics ... visits up to &gt; 10 to our sites - well done Alan; keep those visits coming. over at colemanst blog, we have regular activities just about 1-2 per month, let's keep the activities going, updates coming !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-3420909145096652230?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/3420909145096652230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=3420909145096652230' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/3420909145096652230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/3420909145096652230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2008/08/alan-did-it-again.html' title='Alan did it again !'/><author><name>Foo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11031357665353121432</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='19' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xXOWH7IOlls/TJm7aJuh-hI/AAAAAAAAEa8/bXOvyeGbLJY/S220/999537058_img_0517-edited2w.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xXOWH7IOlls/SJsTdlztN7I/AAAAAAAACkA/9GyZ9c77s_g/s72-c/untitled.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328847716546583203.post-1518241128030799030</id><published>2008-08-05T03:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-08-05T04:46:32.562-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Snake gang in the Rat's hole!</title><content type='html'>Now ... that title was inspired by Gordon Tan! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was what I wanted to write and get that published on Echo magazine - both in print and on web &lt;a href="http://www.blueskiescom.com/alumni/index.htm"&gt;Blueskies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article still found:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blueskiescom.com/alumni/may_jun_07/class_of_81_reunion.htm"&gt;A 'mini' 25th Anniversary Celebration        that will go down in history!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started writing a draft and promptly forgot to save that draft! Well ... as the story goes, the lights went off and I lost all the work that I put into that article. I never recoved from that loss :( so here is attempt #2:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the night after Valentines, and the year of the Rat had barely begun. While all the rats were asleep ... a cry went out for the Snake gang of  ACSS '81 to gather again at the rat-hole - NUSSU Guild House @ Suntec!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a time of celebration, and a time of merriment. The Snake Gang of 1965 appeared from every corner of Singapore and many from China. They ate and drank (thks to David Chan) whisky and wine, and had a lot of catching up to do. The conversation drifted from the casual "hello" to iGallop, goverment policies and also the networking together to gather synergies for the companies. Some self-started and others work for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only wished that time would stand still, because, there were many others that I'd like to spend a little more time to catch up over the years that passed. All too soon, some announced that they had to leave. Ironically, I recieved a call towards the end, when someone said "Are you guys still there? I just finished my event and like to come over!".  We even recieved a call from Wei Siong who had to travel abroad that Friday in Feb asking how the event was getting on! Wai Kin came even tho' he had to drive his son to Malaysia for a Rugby match!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wei Siong, who had put in so much effort to consolidate the responses that we were getting in dribs-and-drab from the many of you who turned up. There were many too who replied to Wei Siong, Gordon and I that they were unable to attend. They came from all over US to Australia - but all of them were sad that they could not be here with us that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The call to gather more often was greeted with much enthusiasm. So, I hope that we can find another opportune time to meet again this year.  I'd like to thank those of you who came to support and make the event a success. Yet there are those who could not attend ... we have your contact with us now :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little confession before I sign off ... us organisers made serveral boo-boos that night, but nonetheless ... the turnout was great and the ACSian spirit prevailed to make it happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until we meet again ... &lt;a href="http://acsoba.net/"&gt;c ya on ACSoba.net!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://acsoba.net/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers&lt;br /&gt;Alan Fu&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6328847716546583203-1518241128030799030?l=acss81.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/feeds/1518241128030799030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6328847716546583203&amp;postID=1518241128030799030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/1518241128030799030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6328847716546583203/posts/default/1518241128030799030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://acss81.blogspot.com/2008/08/snake-gang-in-rats-hole.html' title='Snake gang in the Rat&apos;s hole!'/><author><name>chatboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12190840712072791752</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328847716546583203.post-5396317704336922991</id><published>2008-07-28T19:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-28T20:01:06.869-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Secondary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Class of 1981'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ACS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Barker'/><title type='text'>Birth ......</title><content type='html'>Started with the &lt;a href="http://colemanst.blogspot.com/"&gt;ACS Class of 77 Primary Coleman St&lt;/a&gt; , and many of us did go on to ACS Secondary, Barker Road.
