He did not turned up for lunch and we later found out that he was sick. He was in bed for almost 48 hours suffering from nauseating and vertigo. He was our former school teacher. He flew in from Toronto a couple of days ago and is still suffering from jet lag. Mr Koh is 86 and it is not funny for an elderly man of his age to endure the 20 hour journey.
I spoke to him on the phone this afternoon and he apologized profusely for not able to join us for lunch yesterday. I told him to call me if he needs help in case he is sick again.
We had another teacher who suffered from a stroke recently. He is Mr Cheong (also 86) and was our primary school sports master. I fondly remember him teaching some of us how to box. Whenever we boys quarrelled among ourselves, Mr Cheong would bring out the boxing gloves and asked us to fight it out. I remember ko-ing a classmate of mine in the boxing ring, much to the delight of Mr Cheong and my other classmates. I was once beaten badly by another classmate in the ring but I was not ashamed because that guy was almost twice my size. Weeks later and after much training from Mr Cheong, I managed to out last that bigger classmate in a returned bout. But now Mr Cheong is very sick and is confined to his bed. I pray and hope he will recover.

Most of those A**hole in CC,including IFM and Auditors who behaved and check falsely and badly needed to be beaten in the ring literally and figuratively to a pulp, then juiced. But due to being employed, cannot be touched. But can be cursed and bad karma follows,till sack or retrenched.Now can watch the clearing of the swamp of old useless wood,petrifying CC.Refreshed and CC could be great again.Overstayers leaves bad smells and cultures. Clear the swamp and save CC or going to the dog.
Why so angry with your seniors? You must be a bad worker I supposed :(
SIA should rid itself of crew like the first anonymous
Get rid of Lassie like Shiok Boyd and Gayee first.Too many advantages of single ppl who dont have family to care of.Overated,overstayer and one liner comments ,unable to argue to the nth degree.How can Sin survive with such people to lead us ?Into deviant and no procreations , soon minority in our own country.Then expect to check and judge the CC ?Such mindset check ownself first,then praise onwself,cannot think clearly and objectively how to be fair ?Agreed with above to rid of crews who screw crews unfairly.Getting the facts and writing a report requires skillset,not one liner,to you bad but mind still eloquent and sad for those who rebut ,who cannot set out their cases.QED
