Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival on 2 Oct 2009

If you missed the celebration on 2nd Oct, you've really missed out on a great opportunity to meet up with your friends. Ex-students from different batches (batch of 84 to 08) turned up for the celebration. Some of our seniors brought along their family members (spouse & kids). The younger batches had great fun just sitting around chatting and carrying lanterns (hermm... and burning candles) at AJ square (we used to call it assembly area, AJ Square sounds hip =]).

We are really thankful to all who turned up for the celebrations, especially Mrs Tay, Ms Siau, Ms Ang Fengling and other student helpers. Special thanks to Ms Siau who set the Chinese Riddles (Teng Mi). Despite our combined efforts, we were only able to solve about half of the riddles. We are still trying. Perhaps Ms Siau will reveal the answers in the next alumni exco meeting. =) For those of you who are good in Chinese, perhaps you might want to attempt the riddles posted in the pictures.

Come join us in the celebration next year!

Alumni Choir Concert 2009

Established in 2006, the Anderson Junior College Alumni Choir was formed by a group of choristers that has recently graduated from AJC. We felt that two years of singing, performing and competing was simply not enough to measure our passion for music.

So here we are - our first public concert as an alumni choir!

Spread the word and bring your friends along for a night of classics, contemporaries and pop a capella. We look forward to seeing you at YMS on the 26th of June!

You can email ajalumnichoir@gmail.com for tickets.

1st Lim Kopi Session!

Dear Lim-Kopi-ers!

It was definitely an enjoyable event. To welcome members of the alumni from the 87/88 batches [Seniors Nikki, Frances and Juay Seng] was indeed wonderful - I was deeply surprised by the appearance of my seniors! (: Not to forget Zhi Qiang of 24/99 batch, who came down to enjoy the wonderful company. (:
Attached are the photos of the first Lim Kopi Session, where we got together and had a good talk. Frances mentioned of a time capsule hidden somewhere next to the tree next to the 1st classroom of the 1st block - we're actually looking into confirming the spot before starting to dig for that lost treasure of ours! (:
It was also nice to know that this Lim Kopi Session was an opportunity for the senior batches to come back to take a tour of the school, no matter how new is the school. I'll arrange the next time around for a tour of the school for the new participants of the Lim Kopi Session - who knows, we might even uncover more hidden treasures!

Another tip would be that we'll like to invite the teachers, be them current or former teachers, to come for the event. It would be nice to see them around, talking about the 'golden age' and current times. (: Furthermore, from the first Lim Kopi Session, I now understand that there were two couples that met in school before getting together as husband and wife - Keith (Kiat Meng) and his wife, Kelly; Nikki and his wife, Frances. It makes AJC so much more special with these wonderful memories.

Thus, I need your help to spread the word! (: Invite your batch mates to come down, no matter how senior they might be, it'd be good to come down for a good chit chat session about the good ol' days. And perhaps reply my email about the possible improvements and feedback about the first session? I would greatly appreciate that! (:

Cheerios!

Best Regards,
Marcus Pang

Organiser of Lim Kopi Session

AJCAA's Very Own Lim KoPi Session!

Anderson Junior College Alumni Association now introduces - Lim Kopi Sessions, a fortnightly get-together session.

Taking a breather away from all the hectic activities, we at the alumni have decided to slow things down, and do the most important thing - get every ex-AJCians back to bond together through a simple coffee session.

Don't worry, coffee's free, along with the company. (:

You're welcome to join us on the very first coffee session at AJC Ohana this coming July 5th, Saturday from 10 to 1:30. Don't worry about the dress code, it's just a relax, chill out and chit chat session with everyone from across the batches.

To break the ice, I'll be introducing everyone before each session, to avoid any awkward. [We're one BIG family after all. It'd be nice to know each other.] Thereafter, we'll have a short insight of what the alumni has done for the past year, before going into the relax mode of just sipping coffee and having a nice chat with the person next to you.

So, what say you? Come join me and many others on that day!

Date: 5th July 2008
Time: 10 a.m. to 130 p.m.

Night Cycling June 2008 - Night Sights*

AJCAA recently held it's second night cycling trip in six months; this time around, it's aptly titled "Night Sights!" as we cycled past the evening skyline that lighted up the sky. Below is the afterthought by one of the Night Cycling Crew - Ms. Sabrina Ng.
_________

Cycling on the roads at night,
Enjoying the breeze,
Exploring Singapore’s beautiful night sights- Singapore Flyer, Esplanade, Sentosa,
Fulfilling supper, chit-chat and photo-taking at Lau Pa Sat,
Games under the stars at Vivocity...

All of these with a great company of friends.

Indeed, such an opportunity is hard to come by. But 38 of us who were at the night cycling did all of the above, with loads of fun.

Night Cycling 2008 - Night Sights - was successfully held on 6 June and the event was well received by ex-AJCians from various batches. There were many who brought their non-AJ friends along as well, immersing them in our alumni's activities and thoroughly enjoying it themselves. Blessed with lovely weather throughout the night, all of our participants managed to complete the entire 33.37 km route without any problems.

The trip from East Coast Park to Sentosa was made possible with our team of organizing committee and facilitators from batches 04/05, 05/06 and 06/07. Special thanks to them for their dedication, time and effort in ensuring the smooth execution of the event. These dedicated crew are Marcus, Tony, Nellyn, Meiying, Joycelyn, Pei Shan and Daniel, accompanied by the following facilitators - Henrietta, Huizhen, Siti, Chengfeng and Jiaying. Thank you all, once again. It was a memorable time organizing the night cycling trip.

We would also like to thank a couple of experienced cyclists whom we met at East Coast Park who volunteered to act as safety marshals, making our night cycling trip a safer one for all of us. Thank you Joel, James, Raymond and Nicholas for helping us out.

Along with that, the silent yet omnipresent safety drivers - Kiat Meng and Siau Hui. These two drivers made the sacrifice and ensured that things were running smoothly. We would like to thank the alumni president and his wife for gracing the event and helping us out in numerous ways.

For those who were present at the event, we thank you for your support and we hope that you had as much fun as we did. I’m sure all of us who were present would agree that it was a great night of making new friends, catching up, fun and laughter.

For those who were unable to join us this time round, we would love to see you guys at our future events!
