Sow Hoong aka Joey Tan & wife, Linda were recently back in Malaysia for a holiday & spent a few days in BM & on Penang Island. While here, they were taken on an eco tour at Nandaka Vihara Meditation Centre located in the vicinity of the Cherok To’Kun Forest Reserve. True to our Malaysian roots, any tour would not be deemed complete without a sampling of our still relatively cheap, delicious & famous hawker food & some exotic local restaurant fare before they continued their vacation in KL, where another group of ex HSBM guys took over the itinerary.
Just to help some of you recapitulate, Sow Hoong left HSBM in form five year ’76 & continued his education at a technical college in Penang before furthering his studies in Canada. A few years later, he got married to his beautiful & charming Hongkong wife there. He has worked in a bank & is now a Correctional Officer in one of the most notorious prisons in Canada.
He has been back to Malaysia off & on. His last trip was in 2001 but he never had the opportunity to reconnect with his old school chums whom he had lost touch with until recently thanks to Facebook & Youtube. We, the BM guys managed to capture on video some of the highlights of Sow Hoong’s & Linda’s short stay with us & of course some few mouth-watering shots of the scrumptious food that they got to feast on.
Well, seeing is believing. Have a look at the photos, courtesy of Irene & Ah Hong, & short video clip below. We promise that they will make you guys who have left Malaysia want to come back for the same & perhaps more?

Interesting coverage of all the places eg. retreats and eateries in just a span of 3 days.. Good food, good company and a relaxed ambience at Spring Garden..I hope Sow Hong and Linda have a good trip here and are happy with the good hospitality provided by their Malaysian friends..Some of our overseas friends have already booked their flight tickets months ahead to come back home after chatting with us in Face Book and! after watching those videos and photos, I'm pretty sure they can't wait to reach Penang!
Thank you Lau Choy for all the video filming and editing works; tedious and hard work though..a gift for us to cherish the happy moments..:-)
I like the BURP!!..:-D
