Dear Members,<\/p>\n
May I add my name to the member list. First of all, I want to tell you the reason why I have to join the club.<\/p>\n
On my last "balek kampong" trip to Singapore, my teenage son accompanied me to have lunch with five of my long lost and recently found schoolmates. I knew it was a mistake but my schoolmates insisted that they want to meet him. Anyway, it didnt bother him as he made himself occupied of his time with the help of his ipod and mobile phone. On the way back from lunch, nothing has prepared me for an off the cuff remark from him. He said, "Gee Dad, you don’t have many friends left in Singapore, I can count them with one hand." That’s hurt, but dont feel sorry for me. I need your help. I have made a challenge with him that on the next luncheon not only he has to use his other hands, he needs his toes to count the friends I have. <\/p>\n
Let me briefly tell you about myself, Have been working away from Singapore for more than half of my life. Sydney is home at the moment. I am turning 60 in Oct. Still working as a support worker with the Department of aging and disabilities and Home Care in NSW. Went back to school 2 years ago just to embarass my teenage son. Manage to come out with an educational degree in May. (took me 40 years to obtained it.) Like the old Chinese saying says " There are many paths to the top of the mountain but the view is always the same." Many of you have finally reach the top but hopefully we can all still continue to make new friends and enjoy the view. Thanks for having me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
