‘早到迟退’我受益
😀😀😀😀😀😀

此次新山之行有另一番的见识和感受。
因为我此次去新山的同学会(The JB Meet)比其他的同学‘早到迟退’, 让我有机会见到我小学和大学的同学。
2017年9月20日早上八点我抵达新山Senai 机场。小学同学许文声来接机。虽然离校五十多年后是我们第二次见面,我这同学对我热诚不减,对我无所不谈。他很有念旧的情怀。他觉得就业后同事间的感情远不如昔日小学同窗之谊。他格外得珍惜小学情谊。他很诚恳地邀请我和内人再次到访新山;到时候他将会尽地主之谊来款待我们。对他的热情的邀请我很感激,也很感动。
这使我深切体会到朋友之间的友谊不在于时间的长短,而在于彼此坦诚的交往。

而在JB Meet 结束后我被我两个大学同学(夫妇)接走。他们过着既环保又健康的生活。女同学吴春梅自家种菜自家吃。她使用德国出品的一种Thermomix 器具来炒菜做饭和做糕点。 Thermomix器具有多种功能用途,几乎是万事通。(我倒觉得它很辛苦,要一手包办家里一切大小事务。) 他们夫妇俩尽量减少在外面用膳,一切以健康自然飲食为主。他俩给我示范了健康生活的宝贵的一课。虽然我不能彻底跟随他们的生活方式,但至少我希望我可以从中学习他们一些适用的生活作息,回家好好模仿。

The Johore Bahru Meet
On September 21, 2017,  nineteen of us were staying at the Sweet Home Resort at  Kukup, a coastal town not far from Pontian, Johore.
It's a one-night bungalow stay  for our JB Meet.
All of us enjoyed the stay here without exception as we were free to carry out our activities without restraint as however loud the noise we made it won't affect the residents in the neighborhood.

Some of us were chitchating away; some were playing mahjong while others were singing karaoke happily.
For those few people who were silent in nature could sit quietly at the veranda watching the scenic view provided by the Nature by gazing at the sea, the distant sky with ever-changing clouds.

Staying at the resort was undoubtedly the highlights of the 4D3N stay for the classmates of the Class of '69.

On the first evening at our arrival at Johore Baru, we were given a welcoming garden party by the pool at Aloha Tower. It was a buffet dinner given by our host, Nia.  It was a Hakka cusine  specially ordered by the host to grace the special occasion.

The JB Meet was carefully planned by the organisers more than six months ago. It's through numerous discussions and  adjustments by the committee that it eventually materialised on September 20,2017.

It's of no wonder that it's by far the most successful gathering organised by the Class of '69. I'm pretty sure the participants would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Nia, Guan Pheng, Yang Quing and Betty Liang for their untiring efforts to make this meetup a memorable and unforgettable experience.

The success of the JB Meet was further enhanced by the lively videos and lovely pictures taken by Stanley Khor and Kim Beng,without their snapshots the sweet memories at the Sweet Home Resort would not be able to retain more longer than a few days.
