A challenging start of 2009

I choose to place the message from Carmen from the previous post to start a new topic because I find that her story is kind of interesting.  Please continue to write your thoughts, share some new stories....

(From Carmen)

刚接到周公的短讯, 希望我们可以再写些什么, 别让这个部落格未满周岁就夭折, 读了很感动. 周公是同学会的发起人之一, 对同学间的情谊联系和互动总是关心的, 的确是难得,身为同学的我们, 一定要以行动来支持.

今年是牛年, 对属马的我来说有点别扭, 总觉得今年一定得做牛做马, 再加上牛市遥不可及, 过得战战兢兢. 对命理风水有研究的同学们, 请问牛年对我们是不是流年, 是不是和我们牛马不相及, 两头不到岸, 徒劳无功?不管怎样, 我相信人定胜天, 天下没有不劳而获的事, 也没有劳而不获的事, 虽然一分耕耘未必有一分收获, 但是没有耕耘就肯定没有收获.

说到生肖, 我个人对属牛的人总是保持距离,怕和他们合作总是事倍功半. 各位同学, 想请教大家, 如果属马的人和属牛的人相爱, 当他们要接吻时, 会不会有牛头不对马嘴的感觉呢?

My Class

上面彩色的照片是2008年拍的,下面黑白相片是1983年摄的,二十五年,四分之一个世纪,不可思议.如果不是我们班长邱武强要我们面对现实,我们还差点忘了我们曾经年轻过.真的要谢谢他的努力.

先看看我们年轻时的照片,高三商科班,一般都是阴盛阳衰,五十二位同学,其中女生就占了三十七位,男生只有十五位.几乎每位男生都有修长的双腿,宽阔的肩膀和六块腹肌;而女生就比较可惜,因为校规的关系,很少能长发飘逸,大多都是很帅的短发(其实是很土啦),当然也不乏君子好逑的窈窕淑女,不过二十五年后的今天,虽然只有十位男生和十七位女生出席(还好达一半的人数),大部分女生都令人有惊艳的感觉,好有女人味哦.

上天是公平的,对男生来说是先甜后苦,对女生来说是先苦后甜.想当年我们的男生个个玉树临风,风流倜傥,现在一部分的男生依然有修长的双腿,肩膀却更加宽阔,六块腹肌也因为日子有功,变成一块.再看看我们的女生,有的婀娜多姿,有的雍容华贵,真不是盖的.当然,还有是一部分男生仍然玉树临风,风度翩翩,另一些则稳如泰山,历经沧桑,也有些同学可以让你嗅到一些特别的味道,艺术家的味道,有款有型.

毕竟,二十五年是人生平均年龄的三分之一,要让同学们有机会再相聚,真的不简单.看看我们的黑白照,个个天真无邪,单纯的脸上充满稚气,连照片的颜色都那么的纯洁;再看看我们的彩色照,像我们这二十五年来的生活一样,多姿多彩.以前稚气的脸上现在都充满志气,以前只穿平平的校鞋,现在什么都高,鞋跟高,职位高,收入高,名望高,血压高,血糖高,胆固醇高,脂肪指数高.这就是人生.

很期待下一次的相聚,可以想象多年后的我们,慈祥的脸上一定充满浓浓的父爱和母爱.......《

Commerce Folks who Never Give Up

I am combining these 2 photos due to its smaller group size, I hope the next gathering will attract more classmates.  Guys, work harder to call them for our next event!  Good thing is, even thou the number are smaller, but I realise they always get together for the past many years, and always show up in some activities in the school or outside.

The Always Energetic Science Team

In this photo, some of you were my classmates when we were in 1st 3 years of school, we than split to science and commerce stream for our interests; but we still spent lots of time together in our extra curriculums such as Photography, Scouting etc. 

Can't do much on the old photo I scanned from our magazine but better than nothing.  I hope you still recognise yourself....

The Most Scientific Super Heros

This picture was taken during the 2008 June 3rd gathering, some of our teacher who are now retired also present, plus the current headmaster.  This was the first time that many people turned up from the class after so long.

I learnt from the event, that even you were all scientific folks then in school, but now some of you are in business arena for many years.  Some are in academic still contributing to the society, teaching the next generation; some of you continue your technical expertise and some are home makers.  Some of you are far away from home (US, Australia, Shanghai, Singapore) but the time you've spared to join us was very much appreciated, indeed very encouraging to the organizers.

We all have changed

Wow, what a group photo !  It was the 7th of June (Bottom) and year 2003 (Top), 2008 at Seremban, the memorable town we spent our 5 or 6 years there.  

Together with a few teachers who taught us before, and the current head master; we all have given ourselves a good time to chat about some old stories, understand a bit more on each other, sort of 'get to know again' some of our classmates who has been missing in action for 25 years! OMG!  It was truly a great moment.

We all have changed, but our heard to the school has never changed.  We remember what we've learnt from our teachers in academic, what we've learnt from everyone about life and what we've gained from the school that we applied in our steps to the next stage.  During the years there, I believe among us we did have some fights (not physical la), some confrontational matters, even some quarrels with our teachers  (I even remember I had quarrel with head master then, haha); but hey, all these are over !  Smiling over about it now.

So folks, start telling us some of your stories then or perhaps now.  If possible get our teachers in the photos to join our blog.  Right guys?

First time is always difficult

It has been 25 years since we all finished our Form 5 commerce (SM5A) in 1983.  Many of you went further study overseas, many of us continue some courses locally, many of us came out to Social University.

Past 10 years we had 2 gathering including this year June 7th at Seremban.  Seeing many more classmates turn up has surely boosted the moral of our organizers, later I will introduce them one by one.  At the lunch, I have been asked to create a blog site for our class and here it go, I have done it in the way that we can also invite other classes to participate rather than just our class, knowing the number of potential participants to start blogging.

First time is always difficult, refer to our first class in Chung Hua High School, our first exam, our first type writing class, our first government exam, our first choice in further studies, our first job, our first family (opps, wrong), our first kid, etc etc ...... here our first even blog site !!

If you can remember, our school was the first school that embarked into teaching computer classes, thanks to our seniors who contributed a lot.  If I am not wrong, I am the first student in our class who seek for computer class even we were not suppose to because it was mean for SM 6 and then we were only at SM 5.

I started this with a simple thread and hope to create more threads with more inspirations, I also hope evey one can contribute your stories, your thoughts and your cares to every one.  Should you have interesting picture you wish to talk about, email to me and I will look into it.

Cheers and let's start blogging ....
