TK 10 Year Anniversary for the Class of 99 - 16 October 2009



Hi everyone.

This is a really delayed email but I'm glad I finally found time to write it.

This is a big thank you to everyone who had supported the event, be it you were there or not. We had a, not say roaring success, but a wonderful event on 16 October 2009 amongst great company and great food!

First and foremost, I must thank my organising committee, David, Sofia and Azlina, for being so patient with my last minute meetings and directions, for being so initiative in proposing ideas and getting things done and for being so pro-active in the entire event planning despite their work schedules and accommodating to my wierd work schedule. The calling and emailing and updating of contacts and attendance is indeed not an easy thing to do. The arrangement of caterer, the design and printing of invitation cards, sending them out, the event day itself etc....You amazed me!

I must also thank the school, Mr Koh Tong Seah for being the main contact and liaison, the principal Mr Lee for the kind use of school venue, Mr Ng the Operations manager for helping out on the day itself for getting things in place and organising the school staff in assisting us to get the sound system the security in place and and rubbish cleaned up.

Thanks to Mr Lee Kai Hung, the president of the Tanjong Katong Secondary School Alumnus. He has gracefully sponsored 2 pairs of sunglasses from his optical shop. The 2 winners will be contacted shortly because I forgot their names (but I remember their faces.)

Lastly, I must thank all of you who came and had a great evening, especially those who brought their children and spouse along. I hope they were not too bored. The teachers who came, you made a whole difference to the event. I am sure those who came found it heartwarming that we still remember you for bringing us to where we are today. We wouldnt have made it this far without those important years of growing up. I was also glad to see that the alumni made the initative to meet and greet the teachers and remind them of the days when we were young and naughty! haha

We originally catered to sending out souvenirs and photos and videos to everyone who came for the event earlier in June. Due to the change in timing and lower turnout in the postphoned event, I am afraid we are unable to send out these. Those who want the pictures, please give me some more time to upload them onto facebook or you may contact me directly for the photos through a meet up with me or any of my organising team.

Once again, I thank all of you for making this event a succeess. I hope someone will be able to coordinate our 15th, 20th, etc anniversary, or even simple christmas meetups etc.

Take care everyone and work hard!! Stay united! Thank you once again.

Best Regards

Kelvyn Choo
