Re-union in JB - (Who's coming, who's not) 4th June 2011 (Saturday) - 6.30pm

During a dinner, and some drinks in KL a couple of months back, it was suggested that we hold a re-union middle of this year. It was decided then that 4th June is a good day, and JB is a good place.

Great idea. Most of us have reached the age of 50 this year! An opportune time to meet and celebrate as well as exchange notes about what we have done since leaving St Joseph's. We hope to see 30 or more of our classmates/schoolmates. We think spouses will be bored to tears hearing us talk about school days, and as such, we will keep this to a non-spouse/non-family event.

We have decided to party at M Suite Hotel. @ RM60 per pax

The attendee list (in no particular order):
1. Ungku Harun
2. Soo Ho Hock Meng
3. Choo Beng Kong
4. Fann Peng Tong
5. Yap Say Woon
