Imperial Hotel in-house band entertaining the crowd.

It was a good idea to organise a gathering during the CNY hols for most Miri people would come back from afar. Here you see us, who used to be in the same class from Form 1 -Form 4.
Caesar Shim, who's currently working in Angola.( I have to go to Angola to work so as to be able to pay for my children's education overseas. What to do!! ANGOLA??? Not bad lah,money is good. Would love to work in Miri but where?)
Janet Ho is currently following her husband Kenny Goh,who has his OWN company in Dallas,Texas.
Janet: My son,Gabriel is away in college in Seattle;he's 18 yrs old now.
Ai Geok: I have 7 children & by God's grace He has provided to our every need,ko Ai Geok.
Richard does not have to go to Angola or Dallas to work. God will provide,ko iya. (sob..sob...sob...aku ninga iya nyebut nya..truly being contented with what they have...a doctor,an air stewardess,oil & gas technician & 4 more children still studying)
Muk: I'm ashamed of myself..so bladi uncontented..more..more..give me more.
Jennifer: I'm still single;happy with the status. See,it hasn't killed me,not being married.
Muk: Ya,I know what you mean Jennifer. You don't have any stress lines like us,your married friends. You are better off being single.

Half Centurians posing....Caesar & Janet have just turned 50 in January.
Ai Geok,Jennifer & I are still 49 yrs old.

St. Joseph's Brass Band getting ready at the lobby of Imperial Hotel


...a voice is resounding promptly respond to your duty sweet call
....Answer you all for the trumpets are calling your matters proclaiming her watch word to all
....Forward your children dear ever with heart sincere
...Render with joy to your matter her due..
If you're a Josephian you would know how to sing this song..
Love & Serve your motto's still bearing
If you used to be a student of St. Joseph's School in Miri,you are called to take that money that is in your pocket to build the new St. Joseph's Primary School which will be relocated to a site near the Miri General Hospital. And it is the hope of the building committee to see the school ready to be used by 2011.
According to Bishop Anthony Lee, the money is already there..it's just a matter of taking it out of your pocket.
If there's none in your pocket.......I don't know what to say.
