Computer Club Is Alive !

It’s was a sunny Sunday afternoon on 1 Jul 2007.

Cavan, Melvin and myself gathered at Kampong Glam CC computer room to do housekeeping.

After 3 hours of hard work and “sweat” work, we transformed the dirty and dusty computer room into a refreshing and clean computer room.

We also removed 10 old PCs to make way for 10 new Acer PCs !




With the new PCs and the upcoming calendar of computer courses, Kampong Glam CC Computer Club will definitely be alive again with lots of activities. Keep a look out for the list of “Upcoming Events” on the right hand side of this blog.

Lastly, we must not forget Mdm Yeo, Jane and the cleaner for helping out too. It's about teamwork !

Chingay 2007 Video Clip

This is a video clip captured at the Chingay 2007.

Chingay 2007

It was a night of excitement and colours at Orchard Road on 24 Feb 07 (sat).

Orchard Road was closed to traffic to facilitate Chingay 2007. At 6.30pm, Orchard was already packed with people on both sides of the road. People are seated on the road. Some brought their own mats, others like myself brought along food and drinks.

The first episode of Chingay was an argument between a Chingay Staff and an audience. Apparently, the audience paid for a Chingay ticket that was meant to be a complimentary ticket. Luckily, the heated argument was “extinguished” shortly after the audience cool down.



It was a long wait before the actual parade starts at 8.00pm. It was fun to see the different nationalities and culture performing down the lane. The performers put up a great show and many of us were certainly entertained. Though we were tired from sitting on the road for a few hours …

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR !

Gong Xi Gong Xi!

By now, most of you would be enjoying your reunion dinner at home.

For Sharon and myself, we are actually waiting for the food in our stomaches to get digested... Because we had our reunion lunch at my home 3 hours ago ! And we are going to have our reunion dinner at her home in 1/2 hr time !

How many reunion lunch / dinner did you have this year ???

Sharon, myself and the rest of the YEC members from Kampong Glam YEC would like to wish every one of you

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR !
ZHU DA JIA NIAN NIAN YOU YU !
OINK ! OINK !

Lunar New Year Coming ...

Time flies ... Lunar New Year is merely 6 days away.

It’s time to get started. And btw when is our next YEC gathering ? Oh its on the 25 Feb 2007 (sun) 2.30pm at Telok Ayer Hong Lim Green Community Club. This is the first time we are celebrating CNY there. It’s the first time YEC is organizing this event. And it’s the first time for me … to be the emcee for the event … hehehe … So don’t miss out this event. Visit us at Telok Ayer Hong Lim Green Community Club.

X'mas Party on 15 Dec

Its Party Time !

At 7pm, most of the YEC members had gathered at Mana - an authentic korean restaurant located along 101-109 Telok Ayer Street.

We ordered lots of good food and gave our stomach a warm treat. The ambience was good, so was the service. Though I had a little cramp on my knee by sitting on the floor for about 1 1/2 hour. The price (est $300) was definitely reasonable for 10 of us.

Think we are done after the dinner ? No way. We head to a nearby pub (can't remember the name of the pub ..hehehe ... maybe someone else can remind me leh) for Karaoke and X'mas Present exchange. We practically book half of the pub ! We had pool games, karaoke session, gossiping ... Oops did I say gossip ? Yeap YEC do gossip lah ... hahaha ...
