Great Detective Work- Three More Friends Found !

Thanks to Bala and his great detective work, and to Bon and Kim Chuan for their superb memories..... Bala has found three more of our missing friends from BPES - Class of 1970, after tracking down Seezer and Vincent in July.......


( Bala's email to all our friends dated 4 September 2008 )

Dear All,

.......Last night I did another intense search of our missing friends and here is the outcome.
1. I managed to talk to Lim Wee Kwang.
He claimed that he has no memory of our BPES days and our  classmates including me. His contact details are as follows:-
(see updated contact list)

Can anyone who knows him better(Kim Chuan?) try to talk to him again.

(Hi Bala,

I just spoke to Lim Wee Kwang.  Although he could remember me instantly (as I stayed near him during BPES days), he told me that he couldn't recall who you were when you called him yesterday.  In fact, I mentioned many other names to him but he just couldn't recall a thing except for Seah Chee Seng's name.  

Wee Kwang is now driving for a company.  I have told him to take a look at the class blog as well as to note the next gathering on 8 Nov.  He said that he does not have an email account now and I have suggested he create one so that we could include him in the email loop.  I'll follow up with him on this.

One more thing - I think I've remembered the name of the still unidentified boy standing between Ger Seng and me in the Pri 3A photo.  He shoud be Wong Choon Keong.  Can anyone confirm this?

Regards,
Kim Chuan)

2. Though there were few hundreds of Mohd Ali in the telephone directory, I was very lucky to get our BPES Mohd Ali at the first call.
For those who cannot remember him, he was probably the only Muslim in our session. He was from the Class B and he went to BPGHS for his secondary education.  He expressed interest in our journey and I have included him in this mail.
His contact details are as follows:- (see updated contact list)


3. I managed to trace Venkatachari , the fair and cute looking Brahmin boy from Class C(or B).  He too went to BPGHS.
He was very excited about our activities and he told me that he had
always the thought of having a reunion for both BPES & BPGHS friends.
I have also included him in this mail.His contact details are as
follows:-  (see updated contact list)


4. I tried calling the only 2 Lim Peck Hoons who lives in the west. One happened to be a lady and I had problem trying to communicate to the family of the other Lim Peck Hoon @ xxxxxx as the person who answered my call cannot speak English.
Can anyone(Bon Hian) please try to call the above number again.

(Bala,
Great effort.

1) Lim Wee Kwang - Maybe KC, Way Seng or Sien Chi can give him a call to
persuade him gently and refresh his memory.
2) Just spoken to M Ali. Memories slowly coming back. He does not know the whereabouts of Tan Boon Seng, his neighbour from the Kranji Road area where they used to live.
3) Always remembered Venkat. If not mistaken, he used to live in Jln Teck Whye, near the Govt Clinic/Dispensary. Fair, slightly thin and has a sharp chin.
4) I think his surname is Ng, not Lim. ie Ng Peck Hoon. 
7) I think Liek Shing's surname is Chong.

Rgds,
Bon )

5. I tried calling the only 2 Teo Hock Kees who lives in the West. Both of them are not our BPES Teo Hock Kee.

6. I tried calling the only Yap Ah Fatt listed in the directory and he is not our guy.

7. I tried searching the names of following persons in the directory but their names are not listed.
a. Loh Nee Wee
b. Cheong Liek(or Lek) Shin
c. Shee Joo Sun
d. Koh Kheng Song

8. Though there are a few Sim Cheng Huats in the directory, none are living in the west. Hence I did not attempt calling them.
