Forum: Is there life for SSP76 after Dec 6?

Is there life for SSP76 after Dec 6?

Dear All
While on the phone with Say Yeow last week, I asked him if he might have a
longer term plan for our batch of SSP students. I was surprised to learn
that it has all started with merely the idea of a reunion dinner from SSP
girls like Chin Sik Fong. I thought the Dato' has wanted to hold this
group of people together to promote a worthwhile cause of his choice
perhaps to fulfill his ambition. See how my imagination can run wild just
like that.
How about the rest of you? What is the fate of SSP76 going to be? A one-off
rendezvous or a long-term commitment?

Dear All

When emails for the reunion dinner was circulated, I find it very difficult to keep on adding extra email addresses. Then only I thought of using this google group system to make life simple. Later, come the idea of trying to add members using internet to hunt for our schoolmate.

This should be a good platform for all to communicate. Some of us may have past differences, if we still can remember. After 30 years, some of us may have changed. Some friendship can be built, rebuilt or strengthen. Some permanent differences can only be treated as difference in personality, character and style and can only be tolerated. Human needs human. We will need each other more from now onward as we will more and more time.

For the group to start, I believe it is important to get those 'then popular figures' to play active role. Among them should include all the prefects. Let me post their nice young 18 year old pictures later. No copyright, I assumed.

This is more like a social group like Lions Club or Rotary Club but unlike them, we starts with some old memory. A bit of energy is required from many members. Hope this can be kept alive for long term plan. With about 70 people in the list, if each write a few words once a while, the group can be active. With 50 years of age, we all are very experience in Life, good + bad.

Cheers

Dear ALL

Finally we like to talk freely about everything, including about the
past and about the future. We can joke. We can praise. We can
compliment each other. But certain things are not good to put on
record as this group is open to all.

With regard to the admirer’s story, it can be very real. If someone’s
the other half see it, I hope he or she is open-minded enough.
Otherwise, not so good lah, Please be alerted.

Dato’

You have done a great job with the little spark of yours. Fire is now burning and the heat is on but for how long? Michelle asked the right question on what is next after Dec 6? I have no answer for this but immediate thought you got to do what you ought to do if you find meaning in keeping friendship alive. They say when you have no one in your life you can call and say “I need help,” then your life is unfulfilling. I am sure we all can count on one another to openly extend a helping when the need arises. So, help keep the fire going and let us not have to rekindle it only once a year. Do your part – update your personal profile when you change it, drop a word or two to the Group when you can, share a joke, say hello with a call. It is for you to manage.

Best Regards
