Ushering In The Lunar New Year Of The Dog

The camaraderie that binds ACSians together is a trait that many other schools envy and wished to have. The bond between them is so strong that after being separated by time and distance, friendships that were developed in school are often rekindled immediately whenever they meet, as if it was only yesterday that they bade farewell to the alma mater.

30 from the Class of 1960 gathered at the Lao Beijing Novena Square Restaurant on February 23 for this year’s Lo Hei lunch. Among those present were former teachers, Ms Sie-Hoe Sing Sow and Mr Wan Fook Weng, Tony Hardy from Brighton, UK and David Chan from Jakarta, Indonesia.

As usual, it was a happy and noisy occasion that was enjoyed by everyone present. According to Tony Hardy who flew in from the UK to join the lunch for the 4th consecutive year, “Our Class of 60’s camaraderie was clear for all to see and I've to say I was struck by how quietly pleased we were that we made it into our mid-70s without too many bits falling apart (although I left my hair in San Francisco!). God willing, I will be back again next year!”

The Lunar New Year festive period is an excuse for cohorts to meet and this year, a record number of 156 from the Dragons Class of ACS 1980 gathered at Big Street Restaurant on February 21 to usher in the Year of the Dog. According to Wong Look Liew, the organiser of the event, “This was our 4th consecutive Lunar New Year gathering, and it is encouraging that attendance surpassed the 59, 99 and 148 for the previous years. Camaraderie and friendship prevailed as many schoolboy tales and incidents were replayed in every grouping, and the passionate rendition of the ACS anthem outside the restaurant epitomized the strong school spirit in us”.

The party lasted till late and some even adjourned for local teh tarik to further prolong the wonderful blessed evening.
