My late dad's ACS Class of 1963
Golden Anniversary Reunion Dinner - 12th July 2013
It is a real honour to be able to represent my late dad. I
took the liberty to draft the the epitaph inscribed on his tombstone :
"Here is a man who defied all logic and odds. We are your legacies"
Here I am, carrying on his legacy !
I was asked to make a speech as the President of the Royal
Sungei Ujong Club. In
my speech, I said when I first found out that my dad's nickname was 阿掰 or "the crippled", I was taken aback. I
told them that to me, my dad was perfect as can be and that 阿掰 has done well to bring up four beautiful daughters, including yours truly !
The special guest for the evening
was Mrs Ng Shin Koy who is 85 years old ! Mrs Ng (but she wants to be known
as Ann) is very witty ! Ann (according to all my dad’s classmates) is
the most gorgeous and sexy teacher that my dad's batch has ever had ! She flew
down or rather flew up from Down Under. Another special mention is Siew
Moy. She made a trip from California.
I started my speech by saying that I don't normally prepare
for my speeches as I speak from the heart. I ended my speech by quoting,
"It is by chance that we have met but it is by choice we became friends.
Let us continue this wonderful friendship !” Well, I should have said that it
is by chance that we have met but it is by choice that we became friends and
remain as friends.

ReplyDeleteHi Nichole,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to read your comments and the great photos posted. Likewise, you comments about your dad is TRUE and those of us who had the opportunity to know and grew up with him were lucky and privileged.
He was a shining example of guts and determination.
Well thought out speech and truly encouraging and enlightening. Cheers. CJ Han
