TTC camp reunion...Tekong our 2nd home.

With my camera, I snapped a picture of our group taking a pause to double -check our location during the orienteering session in YLTC, August 1968. Kim Hoe was the only one looking directly into the camera.

I was invited to sing Cliff Richard's the" Young Ones". The lyrics were transposed to the screen by Rodney who was manning the laptop.
I did not know who chose this particular song for me. But it was quite a good choice in the company of so many 'young' ones!..some with little hair, at least one with no hair. Haha.
No wonder they are enjoying it.

Lam Siew Leng tended to the Bar counter. He did a very good job and because of that he was rewarded with
having to sing a song.." Thinking about the things we used to do".

TTC CAMP REUNION 31/10/08...more Nostalgia!

The two sea activity that was included in the 1968 August TTC YLTC was Canoeing and Sailing.
The photo showed Barracuda Group in one of their basic sailing session at Tekong. I am at extreme right of picture, with folded arms.





Edward Tan, standing right in front in this photo has the honour of being featured in my very 1st blogpost when I started this blogsite in Sept last year (2007). You can see that post under the Archives section. We travelled together to Thailand.

TTC CAMP REUNION 31/10/08...more Memories!

August 1968 YLTC.
This was the group that was! Barracudas they called us...what a fierce name we thought...until we heard the other names, arguably even more ferocious. Piranhas, Mantas and Sharks....etc.
Tee Suan and Hong Kit were the attached GIs, while I had my arms around Choon Bee and Kim Hoe standing behind. Yew Ghee on extreme right of picture.
That building behind us was our famous" mess hall"where all meals were served...breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper all prepared by the campers themselves under the supervision of the Camp kitchen staff.


In this photo:

This photo:
Koh Boon Long and wife, C Kunalan and his wife, Mr Yap Boon Chuan in a stripe shirt can be seen.


Guess what they were all watching intently?
No...not the 4D results! That is no good at all...will mostly increase your frustration and stress levels.
We were all enjoying the singing of
"My Way" by the one and only Saifudin, our ex-Talentime Winner.
Only he has that quality voice to deliver this song in his way!
