Dear Rafflesians, It is with an extremely heavy heart that I inform you of the demise of Khee Sien more than an hour ago. He leaves behind his wife and 3 children who are in their teens. Khee Sien was a quiet and unassuming boy in school. Like everyone else, his love for the school and his pride as a Rafflesian was ever strong. He was a great school swimmer too.
When we last saw him with a few classmates lead by class monitor Yong Guan on Thursday, 16 May, he was no longer sitting up. He was lying down; calm and resolutely enduring the illness. Expressionless. Even when Kok Beng showed him an old group with him in the photo, he didn't say anything until when prompted.
Well, that is the brevity of life.....
Rest in peace, Khee Sien.
Auspicious Melioris Aevi!

PIE, CTE, ERP, IUs, cashcards & parking coupons ..

(Parking - free; ERP - maybe; Fuel Tank - enough to get there and back, U-Turns allowed, as long as you get to RI) ;-)

The dinner will be held at the Hall, marked yellow.

For those who drive, use Entrance marked 3 and drive straight ahead to park at Raffles Square. You may also park at the car park lots on the right side immediately after Entrance marked 3, next to the tennis courts and Design Centre (marked Green).

If you are coming by bus on SBS services 13, 56, 57, 59, 88 , 156, alight at bus-stops marked 1 or 2 along Bishan Road but you have to enter the school by the entrance marked 3 along Bishan St 21.

Service 410 serves Bishan St 21. There are bus-stops on both sides of Bishan St 21 very near to Entrance 3.

Bishan MRT Station is within 5 - 10 mins walking distance. The feeder service (SBS 410) can be taken from the bus terminal next to the MRT station .

The alphabet, phishing, and pheathers ..

When I wrote this, the Tuckshop visit count has crossed 1,000. Gratifying, encouraging and endearing, indeed. But the "counter" used in the Blog is a simple one; it does not differentiate "unique" individuals, just number of "views". So, the visit profile may well be eighty-twenty, 20% of the cohort contributing 80% of the visits.

That's ok. But, we must try to reach out and spread the message to more. Our email distribution list has less than 230 people. Our cohort is about 400. Believe it or not, some amongst us may not use email! (I know of one personally. He also does not use SMS. Another asked me some time back, why the QWERTY keyboard is not organized alphabetically?) So, there may be a few who still prefer the good, old days or ways of communication. Or, they prefer to keep a very private life, for whatever reasons. Anyway, do spread the word, in whatever way you could.

One letter in the alphabet remains a bone of contention, even though we have settled with the "Tuckshop" name. Typo risks? To "F" or not to "F"? Well, inspite of some protests, Chor Leong, with all his legalese conviction, argued the case, citing Stamord Rales turning in his grave, and us being relegated to mere Ralesians and so on .. Well, the case rests for now, with all the finesse, finality and of course, friendship.

I am glad I went fishing last week, even though the conventional wisdom is that the fishes around our shores are so well conditioned they keep their mouths shut! At the end of the phishing line, there were some interesting open mouths .. now we have more photos for our album, and comments in the Guest Book. But we do need more .. as we hope to serve more in the Tuckshop, be it food for thought, inspiration or instigation of sorts.

Not to worry of ruffling any pheathers .. as Prof Chee Kiong has been instigated from the 881 Getai to use such pheathers to inspire his students to greater heights of learning, accompanied by the tenor of his karaoke pitch.

So do visit our Tuckshop soon, and often .. for it now serves more than food for thought ;-)


In Remembrance ...

Suresh Anandan, Chua Koon Meng, Low Chin Min,

Their lives were a story we shared,

Two, four or six years we had.
Remember the coconut trees there,
And then the pool we hardly swam.
