HSBM Old Boys Reunion Dinner 2013

The HSBM old boys of class ' 72 - ' 77 recently held its reunion dinner on 17 August 2013, after a long break of six years. A manageable crowd turned up to reconnect with old friends & ex-schoolmates. They feasted on a selection of mouth-watering Chinese dishes whipped up by the expert chefs of Hai Siang Seafood Restaurant located at Jalan Bukit Tambun, Simpang Ampat, MALAYSIA. The rest of the evening was spent on catching up with the latest developments & relating past experiences. For those who were musically inclined, the karaoke machine was at hand for them to belt out some old nostalgic tunes made popular by singers like Lionel Ritchie, Lobo & the Bee Gees in the 70's & 80's.

Towards the conclusion of the evening’s festivities, everyone present observed a minute’s silence in memory of our comrade, Lim Bai Lai, aged 54, who passed away on 19 May 2013 at a hospital in Singapore. For those who had been in regular contact with him prior to that, the news came as a shock because he had kept the seriousness of his pre-existing medical condition from his friends. Thanks to Facebook & other channels available through the Internet, his friends were duly notified & thus were able to offer their condolences & comfort his family members in their moment of grief.

 Let us take this as a reminder of our own mortality and make every effort to always stay in touch with one another. The organisers have provided a platform for this purpose by holding such gatherings albeit on an ad hoc basis but plans are already under way to hold another one in 2014 at Mr Lee Kim Sai’s new restaurant which is currently under renovation & hopefully will be in operation by the time we have fixed a date for the next reunion dinner. As usual, a video recording of the event has been made available for your viewing. Just scroll down and press 'play' or click on the link below.
