Welcome
to the new Official Site of Class of 1963.
This
site is the result of the donations and contributions of all present at
the Come Together Nite at the OFA on 7 April 2003. A meeting of
schoolmates
and classmates, some who met for the first time after leaving our alma
mater for 40 years.
The
joy, oh no it was rather the disbelief that the someone you knew 40
years
ago has transformed into some other size and shape that made the
meeting
an end to their suspense & expectations. Many shook their heads in
disbelief in what they saw in flesh and bone, sorry more flesh. Many
kept
asking to confirm. Anyway those who were not present should have seen
the
expressions on everyone's faces as if a long lost brother had come home.
Nearly
50 of us congregated at the school field which used to be the battle
field
for glory and medals. We had a walk down memory lane - a retro. Went
into
the building and tried to look for our classrooms. Went into the
canteen
and of course remembered the Prefect's Room (the hatred of the wayward).
Then
the battle was on again - football. Home against Away. Believe it or
not,
the away won. Ong Chong Hye, who recently had a heart by pass, scored
the only goal.
That
night amidst the rain and thunder, the group met at the kopi tiam run
by
Peng Kiat where we ate, drank and talked till the cows came home.
Still
unsatisfied, a buffet dinner at the OFA was held the following night.
Another
20 others who did not come for the retro at PFS joined in that night at
OFA. Everyone was given the chance to talk. At the dinner a 2 minute
silence
was given to the few who could not be with us - Dr Tai Lung Ho, Sasson
Hai Jacob, Dr Loh Hun Eng, Gajah Toh Cheng Swee, Goh See Hong and Ch'ng
Kim Ling.
Of
course Robert Ong sang followed by a few other newly emerged Ka lah ok
Singers. And all of them were good!
We
have vowed to meet again at another place and time - soon. China maybe!
Over to Gan Khai Choon.
Yours
