USM Dinner for 3 Returning Ladies on 9th November 2013


This is the email I sent out to all our friends who attended the function as well as those we need to keep in the loop.

Dear friends,

I think our USM Dinner went pretty well yesterday night. We had a good time reminiscing the old times at USM during the slide show as well as during the off the cuff speeches.

I am certainly confident that with this meeting, the bond of camaraderie has further strengthened amongst ourselves and it was great, I am sure for everyone, it was an immense privilege to touch base with Kong Huat, Mahendran, Rita, Kee Teck and Saw Imm whom we have seen very little since graduation. We hope to see more of them in the future.

To all our 24 friends who felt that it was important to keep touch constantly when we have already transcended the age of 60, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to them again; especially so to Kwang Chye, Kee Teck, Saw Im, Kong Huat and Mrs Chew for flying in or driving in from outstation. It was a great effort and most encouraging on your part and we would like to say “Bravo and keep attending!”

I also like to thank our good friend, Kwang Chye for graciously footing the bill again this time around.

To Richard, many thanks for emceeing the night and Say Chuan for the unseen background help in menu selection, helping with driving directions as well as putting up the slide show.

To Kong Huat, we appreciate your wondrous gesture to host the next dinner gathering. 

To the three ladies-Esther, Helen and Ruby, it was great to have you back home again and we wish you a pleasant stay and safe journey home. (And thanks for the presents!)

Perhaps 2014 could be a good time, God willing, to change our dinner venue possibly to Penang, Johor Bahru or even to Perth where we have many USM friends residing there.

For your information, our elder brother Bala has also informed that he would possibly organise another larger USM lunch or dinner meet early next year.

All the best again and till we meet again, remember there is always the phone, sms and email to keep in touch!

God Bless


Heng
