PART 2

We departed Kukup at 1.30pm.

We had to do what all Singaporeans will do: SHOPPING

Our plan: Go to as many shopping places as possible.

1st stop: Giant Hypermarket at Plentong

A very crowded place, 1 storey and many supporting

tenants besides Giant. Must get back to the coach

by 3.30pm.

2nd stop: Jusco Hypermarket at Tebrau. 3-storey

shopping centre, very crowded, mixed upper middle-class

tenants, must rush otherwise cannot make it back

to the coach by 4.45pm.

We decided to drop by SMD Techtronics JB since

we were quite near to it, unfortunately no key to

open the factory door.

We departed for Kulai town where we had our

dinner waiting for us.

A quick blowing of balloons followed in a flurry,

and you should know, a birthday party is in the order.

The Recreation Committee planned an advance

birthday party for Robert Tai, complete with a

birthday cake.

With balloons and banner saying it aloud, the

birthday song in English, Mandarin and Bahasa

broke the peace of the restaurant with our less

than polish chords.

Following tradition, a symbolic cut on the cake

followed, preferably with the help of loved one

if possible.

Some of our JB employees took the trouble

to join us for the dinner and here's the photo

to record their presence.

From left: Kunalan, Watie, Joanne, Robert Tai

and wife, Thian, Joyce (face partially hidden)

and son.

When we share table with the birthday 'boy', we

automatically have the honour of having our faces

appearing as well!

and cannot forget a little present. I presented it

on behalf of the employees and the Recreation

Committee.

We headed back to Singapore after our course

dinner arriving SMD Kallang Bahru at about 9.00pm.

We have to thanks Dorwin Yap and the rest of

the Committee member for a memorable trip.
