The photo taking session by the poolside went great and the reunion dinner was a tremendous success. Games were played to break the ice and there were songs and dances performed by the Singapore and Malaccan sides which moved the crowd. Yes it was a great success and we look forward to the KL reunion if all goes well!
Thanks to the staff of the STRAITS MERIDIAN HOTEL who also helped to ensure a very memorable and pleasant stay for all.

Malacca Reunion 26th - 28th June 2009
Met the group leaving for Malacca around 0715hrs. Started our journey around 0750hrs and had a smooth clearance along the Singapore causeway and a better one at Johor Baru's new immigration.
The meeting point at JB's first shell station for Ed was reached, but we were told to proceed and meet-up at Pagoh's R&R. So on we went with Glen loosing his way - turning off into Pagoh instead of proceeding to the R&R which is further along the highway! HUH! But to cut a long story short at the Pagoh R&R we finally met-up with Ed's entourage and lo and behold Kevin's too. So you can bet the amount of yakkitty yak that was going around!
Arrived in Malacca around 1100plus and went to do a little shopping and eating at Jusco. Checked in around 1330hrs at the Straits Meridian Hotel.
A small dinner was planned for this evening at the residence of Stan & Adlene (portugese settlement) as an ice-breaker for the reunion tomorrow night at the hotel itself.
The portugese settlement also had a food and funfair to celebrate the feast of St Pedro. Though it's like our pasir malam with a little difference of having some dance performance and songs thrown in. It was a colourful affair.
