Then 30 years later ...

Some of us received an e-mail by Kim Soon on 14 Nov 2008............

Hello fellow classmates of class of 1978

Re: Civil Engineering Dept 50th anniversary dinner 27 Dec 2008

My last email in Mar 08 had created some excitement and many memories. However I just can't get to organise something for all of us. Over the past few months I have managed to meet with a couple more of our classmates. Please see attached namelist for your update. If you notice any outdated data, kindly update me, please.

Ok, I have an invite for all of us.

I was talking to my colleagues about me wanting to organise a gathering for our 50th birthday and guess what it is also our Civil Engineering Dept 50th anniversary this year! So the Dept is organising an Alumni Nite and I thought why not we all come together for this event, instead

Some of us will remember our last Alumni Nite some 4 years ago where we had 2 tables with Justin Tan paying the bills (missed him dearly).

Our 50th Year celebration (and our 50th year birthday for most of us!)

Date: 27 Dec 08 (Saturday evening)
Venue: None other than in SP (of course aircon like hotel with D&D prog)
Cost: Read on

I am still thinking of some special programme especially for our group (welcome any suggestions, please)

Ok, now is the cost. We wanted to also take this opportunity to raise some funds for our "Student Needy Funds" and the ticket is at $150 per pax (of course additional donations are most welcome). If we raise $2000 per table (including tickets cost for 10), we can have our class highlighted.

I really hope to have 2 to 3 tables for that special night and we kick start for more gathering thereafter with the CNY round the corner. I will update you with more details of the programme which may include tour round SP, with our old block, workshop etc where we studied.

I am also inviting TEC 3A and 3C friends whom I am still in contact with them e.g. Kelvin Tay, Phillip Tan & gang

Please do email or sms me to confirm your coming so that I can consolidate and update all of us and get things going.

Hope to see all of us..................Early greeting --- Have a Blessed Christmas
