See You Later Voon Choong !


Saturday, 15 September 2007 @ 7.40am on CX720, our dear good friend, Goh Voon Choong @ PIG has left all of us to pursue his career at Shangri-La Pudong in Shanghai, China. Voon Choong's farewell was celebrated in two days and two nights ...... the sequence of his farewell as follows :-

Thursday, 13 September 2007 @ 5pm, Nanthini picked up Voon Choong from the bus station upon his return from KL. They went back home to change. Then, Soo Theng pick us from our respective homes to Bali Hai, Gurney Drive for a sumptuous seafood dinner (Marmite Prawns, Salted Egg Crabs, "Mee Teow Fried", Baked Oysters, Prawn Mantis with Dried Chillies, Mango Chicken and Seafood Hor Fun. After dinner, we went to Bagan for a Vodka session with a few rounds of snooker games and "three cards" with loser had to drink the vodka. We ended the evening at 4.00am at Soo Theng's apartment with more vodka and card games !

Friday, 14 September 2007, everyone (except for Nanthini cos her two EXCOMs had already taken their off day on the same day) took off on that day to continue Voon Choong's farewell celebration. We started the day with lunch at Old Town Cafe, New World and by 3.00pm, we were already home to catch up with our nap. At 5.30pm, Soo Theng came to fetch us all and off we headed to the Mainland for a quick household shopping at SSF, Prai. By the time we reached SSF, it was already 7.45pm due to massive traffic jam being Friday rush hour and also the heavy downpour that does not help the situation. From SSF, we went to Auto City 2 a newly developed township with many nice restaurants and watering holes such as Bed and Vivo. We had our dinner at Soho because our original plan of having dinner at Tao, Japanese Restaurant was too packed.

To Voon Choong, we all wish him all the very best in his new posting and may he finds success in Shanghai ! We will not say goodbye but instead, we will say ... See You Later ! I am sure we will all be able to meet up with him again, soon .... be it in Shanghai or ........

Hmmmm..............I am not so worried about Von Chong as I am worried about the friends left behind, they are like one arm short and feeling really :-(. Don't worry lor........I am sure you guys will meet again soon. The world is very small now right. But one thing is for sure, it was a very dull and dreary day (outside and inside the building)...........hehehehehe

S - It was only drizzling and not thunderstorm !

Soo Theng - Yup, it's all the best to VC.

Estee - VC is definitely a lucky guy.

Michelle - We should nicknamed VC Lucky Goh, since he does not have a Christian name.

Ravi - We will definitely meet VC again in the near future !

Hi wendy,

I used work for VC in slkl. I was wondering is he still in pudong? I last contacted him couple years ago from Shang SG when I was working there. I hope I could get in touch with him again. I owe him my carrer in hospitality industries.

Thanks
Richard
