Hello..hello..welcome to the group..How did we grow to have over 80 members in 4 days is an astounding figure! :) I am sooo happy to see everyone here. It makes me feel like I’m not that far away from home after all :) Now who dares to say that there arent many Chung Ling kias in the UK..I will 'wahlup' them with this site haha! Even if we assume 25% of the number of members here to be physically living in the UK, that is already a great reason to make a good gathering!
There are two main reasons why the group grow so quickly. Firstly, if you have been receiving a message from me directly, then it’s because (honestly) I have been working very hard using my ‘computer skills’ (I’m an computer engineer btw) to track down you guys using the Chung Ling Worldwide database that you once registered. Speaking of which, if you haven’t got yourself registered on the CL database, please register on 钟灵全球网络 http://www.clglobal.net.my/ The database is now maintained by CLHS’ past principal, Mr. Sim Jin Tang （沈仁东） who is now a retiree but still dedicate his time to work for CL Global Networks which was started to establish a central network for alumni from the 3 schools. If you happen to be in Penang, then do spare some time to visit him at CLHS (国民型), Penang. He has a small office at the Chung Ling Alumni Association activity centre right at the back of the school, next to the 6th Form Block (槟城钟灵校友会的会所已经返回“娘家”). Well, I can tell you one thing lah..Mr. Sim maybe our senior alumni but he is absolutely keen to hear new ideas from younger alumni like us on how to keep the ex-Chung Lings united and also always happy to hear stories from our young alumni / his ex-students how they make it in life after high-school.
Secondly, I have some folks to thank.. mainly the administrators of the other Chung Ling fb groups outside UK for their great support to promote this group! (Angel, Xuxu, Sky, Chin Ghee, Shi P’ng and Alex Ewe, thankyou!) Without them, you probably wouldn’t know about us so quickly and be able to join us for any UK Alumni gathering. Well..in terms of gathering, we just had one about 1.5 weeks ago for the cny 'Yee Sang' dinner as you can see from the photos. Will keep you all posted when there is another gathering in the upcoming months!
Lastly, I have also received many messages from members here. Some asked about the upcoming 2010/2011 CL Alumni Worldwide event that was posted and some are curious about me hehee... Ok, maybe I’ll start by briefly introducing myself next week. For now, goodnight ya, I am late for my ‘tidur’ time. Feel free to write on the fb wall and have fun finding your ex-classmates / old friends from the facebook group!
爱吾钟灵!
