Activities, activities...... Year 1970

To All Our Chinese Friends
迎春接福
(ying chun jie fu)
Welcoming the happiness of Spring!
Some started the year 1970 with a bang! at Chee Nong's house.
(The coffee shop opposite the old market next to a small lane)
Seated: Chee Nong's mum, Toh Hwa,Yuet Ngor, Ah Ngoh
Standing: Chee Nong, Lee Seng, Segar, Jee Oon

and then a trip to Mt Ophir. Full of energy and carefree!

No worry about children, money, career, job.......

higher by another 5ft for the records.

During the annual Science and Maths Societies Party

A 'family' photo to remember on the party 28 October 1970

Playing a game with newspapers

Of course the main attraction was the makan.

This party on 1st Jan 1971 included friends who left us for

the 'pure' sciences in the big towns. This was indeed the farewell

party for all of us, like the areca seeds that scatters when its nanny splits.

Why not do something funny before we go our ways!

It was'nt a big gathering though; afterall exam's already over,

our fates sealed with the papers that were being marked.

To each our own, the future unknown, and now still around

to reminise; we got to thanks our gods that we are still

able to meet and chat over those old days.

Thanks for your time going through these pictures and hope you enjoy them as much as I do doing the posting.
