On 17th<\/sup> September, it was a dark and cloudy morning… oh no, I thought…it’s going to rain… if it does, it would be most inconvenient for all the SHC members attending the gathering at Gillman Heights. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, toward the afternoon, the dark clouds were blown away, and 17th<\/sup> September turned out to be a beautiful day…
To all who attended the monthly gathering at Gillman Heights:<\/p>\n

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Thank you –  for making my last few days at Gillman Heights happy and memorable.<\/p>\n

Dolly and Sam – thank you for organizing the event.<\/p>\n

ALL THE HELPERS – thank you for helping. <\/p>\n

If I miss mentioning one or two names, please forgive me… it was a very busy day, and my recall for names is not so great.<\/p>\n

Terence, Rene, Oi Cheng, Kristin, Karen, Sockie, PatrickL, Mary, Sue Chan, Lily, Andrew, Dan, Freddie, and Tim.…<\/p>\n

I hope that the 20 liters of pandang tea was enough to go round and that all 77 over guests managed to taste a small cup.  If not, please excuse me…

<\/strong>Thank you – to all the guests, who had made time from their busy schedule to attend this gathering. <\/p>\n

Many guests expressed their concerns, asking me questions such as where I’d be moving off to… some guests thought that I am a millionaire…. <\/p>\n

To dispel misconception, here are the facts: The Gillman Heights owners received $870K to $930K. Yep – Gillman Heights owners are not millionaires. It was the Farrer Court owners who received $2million each. <\/p>\n

For the Gillman Heights owners, it was a matter of poor timing. We simply have to accept reality, and move on with our lives. <\/p>\n

We are sad to leave Gillman Heights…. Spacious, sprawling housing estates like Gillman Heights will no longer exist. <\/p>\n

I hope that I did manage to greet each and every guest. If I missed some of you– again, please excuse me. <\/p>\n

Many guests commented that you have not met me before. I must be “new member”, or that I must be “inactive member”. <\/p>\n

Not really.  I registered more than two years ago. I have met many other members during these events which I have attended:<\/p>\n

Self-development Talk (Intercontinental vault), The MacRitchie Walk, The monthly gathering at Han’s caf\u00e9 (nonya parade), The Investment Talk (Bali Lane), The Barage Walk, The Pasir Ris Walk,  The Investment Talk at Raffles City Tower.<\/p>\n

And, I have hosted Mahjong Beginners Lessons at my place, taught by MJ teacher Freddy Liew.  I was actively “promoting” Feztus’ Yunnan Health Rejuvenating trip, the first group went in Feb 2009. And I am also the EC for the laughter exercise at Hort Park. <\/p>\n

Enuff “lee lee loh loh”. Enough said for my “credentials” as a SHC member.<\/p>\n

I look forward to see all of you at some future gathering.<\/p>\n

I will miss Gillman Heights. Thank you for sharing my memory of Gillman Heights.<\/p>\n

With warmest regards<\/p>\n
