The amazing tricycle

This type of tricycle you rarely find nowadays, that every morning, I woke up at 4 am, 364 days cycled to Sims Drive, from Mattar Road, loaded it with containers of foods.


Covered it with a piece of plastic  put my bicycle on top of it. My mom sitting behind, rain or shine, even the tyres punctuated, after unloaded the foods at Sims Drive hawker centre.


Cycled to Upper Aljunied Technical School, after school cycled the tricycle back to Mattar Road from Sims Drive in the 1970s.

The incredible class reunion after leaving school 35 years.

After I left UATS in 1976 for 35 years, we hold a class reunion, not my sec 4 class but my neighbor class $4-4, I was in E4-2.

I met Lee Song at Bugis after many years, which I lost contact with him. We used to stayed in the neighborhood area. He asked me to come to his home for the class reunion, which his class E4-4 had been holding every year.

My class class E4-2 had since stopped holding class reunions for many years.

At Lee Song home which he invited the lion dance troupe to his home to perform.

I met back some of the classmates where we  where split into different classes  from  sec 2 going into sec 3 - arts, metalwork, electronic & woodwork class etc.

I was in the arts class, I was not qualified to go into the technical classes by one points. Because I never passed up  2 technical projects for evaluations to the teacher.

I reached there around 1pm started our dailogues in his room around at 2, some brought their wives there one brought his mistress. Many of them hair growing white.

Mike is my classmate since 1967 still in contact, came around 3pm something and brought his swedish wife and his son around 1 year old.

Maybe Xiang Yun the mediacorp actress is our  classmate it is possible that 3 us were in the same school or class?

We adjourned and dailogued outside the house. Lee Song kept bringing food - crackers which he specially brought from M'sia, abalones and beer to treat us.

Later the brother of Henry Tan our schoolmate who invented the thumbdrive and other patents came, I had a brief dailogue with him and  called it a day.

What an incredible karmic  & mystical reunion after 35 years, for our classmates from different classes  to come together again.
