BPES (now BPPS) 80th Anniversary dinner on 31 August 2012

Our alma mater, BPES, celebrated her 80th Anniversary, (now known as BPPS), this year. The school organised the 80th Anniversary Dinner on Friday, 31 August 2012 at the Senja-Cashew Community Club from 7 to 10 pm.

Each ticket was priced at $80 and all proceeds from ticket sales was for the school fund-raising project to help its needy students. The VIP was Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.    An interesting note :-           Mr Vivian Balakrishnan's parents were teachers in the school in the early 60s. They fell for each other and got married while they were teachers there. Mr Vivian is their eldest.

 Eight  of us and Mr Chow were there at the dinner.  When the organisers requested us to contribute an item for the dinner program, Mr Chow and Bon spontaneously became the spokespersons for our group. Each of them gave his account of the memories of BPES and school lives during our times. They deserved our applause for their eloquence and taking us down memory lane. BRAVO!

And we have also Sien Chi to thank for snapping these photos during the dinner......
