I spent my Saturday afternoon with my ex-school teacher Mr Koh Beng Thiam and a classmate at the City Square Mall near Farrer Park MRT Station. We had our lunch at Food Republic on the 4th floor. We had the above for lunch followed by a kopi session at Toast Box. Initially, Mr Koh invited us to his place which is just a 7 minute walk from City Sq. Mall to have coffee. However, due to the rain, we decided to proceed to Toast Box instead. We stayed at the Mall and Toast Box for about 3 hours. We chatted about our school days among many other things.
Incidentally, Mr Koh was also the first principal of Jurong Junior College from 1981 to 1986.
He was Mr Lim Ching Beng's (SIA first CEO or MD) classmate in Raffles Institution. He told us he was in charge of the RI swimming team whose captain was Mr Goh Chok Tong, the former prime minister of Singapore.
