AGM - Pig Lunar Year






I can't remember when did we change the date of AGM from Ang Mo New Year to Ting Nan New Year. I think it happened in early 90s.


We proceeded to HouKor’s palace after persuaded by Kok Chun Khai. We were fed by non stopping serving of food and unlimited drinks. We then had the AGM to nominate and elect Hui Chang. Like the previous years as well, the new Hui Chang also won by one slim vote.


Thanks to HouKor for hosting us and for the pictures. We like the design of the house though not designed by the best architect in Penang (some say in Ipoh and China too). We were delighted by your hospitality and we will definitely go back :)

新年聚餐







With the clear delegation from Hui Chang Pong, Ah Pee and Turkey went for a round Penang Island search for a suitable restaurant. At last, we managed to continue with our tradition, the Chinese New Year Dinner at Equatorial Hotel.

We had quite a good turnout – 17 adults and 7 new generation kids. We could not say much about the quality of the food but the company was great. And the latter is definitely the more important reason.

For some of us, we were extremely pleased to see Ah Chiang and Mun Hua are on track to contribute to additional head count to the Chinese community. Hope more good news from other brothers and Ah So’s soon.

Eow Kuai Pai




I still have few blogs to post on CNY activities and will try to complete all before Chap Goh Meh. Sorry it these are not posted according to first in first out.




Now the story......


We missed 2 big legs – Tua and Elephant – and one 铁头this year for our annual gaming. Like the last 20 years, O Pui and Turkey emerged as the winners. However this year we also have a surprise winner in Lau Ee.

We also came to know that Lau Ee has this 特异功能- ability to recognize the cards from their back sides. The cards for mi-hua A and mi-hua 9 were having small folds and Lau Ee demonstrated his capability to remember those cards.

Hence we decided to swap cards and picked up 2 closet match cards and modified them. We named them as Eow Kuai Pai.

And riding on the Eow Kuai Pai’s, Lau Ee managed to go on winning streak – almost matching Liverpool’s unbeaten home run – and ran away as the big winner for the night.

Hence all the brothers staying till 3am on that morning witnessed the historical event – the first victory of Lau Ee in 20 years.

Next time, please make sure you do not go heads on with Lau Ee when you are playing with Eow Kuai Pai’s.
