Hugo, Hugoh, HuGoh or Hugh Goh is back in Paris

From Choon Chiang:

I actually teased Hugo by asking him if he had got any handphone numbers from the girls.

I did not know that he had " fallen in love".

I keep forgetting that he is half French.

Also, as suggested by BSF, he is half Goh as his name is Hu-go.

(AYG's note: The story is that Leader B appraoched Hugo at Pei Lin's house and asked him: I heard that you are related to the Goh family. Is that the reason why you are called Hu-Goh")

L'amour boy is now back in Paris. Would bring him back for runs again during his next visit. In a way, he enjoyed the company of the mad running adults.

From Tan Yan's diary (Pei Lin's 8 year old daughter): "....I drank Ice Milo and ate waffle for break fast. I played the piano. A boy called Hugo was fallen in love by 'sissy'...." (AYG's note: Does "sissy" refer to her 6 year old sister Tan Min?; wow, talking about falling in love at such young age. I hope it is not a form of projection whereby Tan Yan is the one actually "falling in love" with Hugo but attributes it to her "sissy". Less embarrassing this way than to tell her true feelings. Whatever it is, the youngsters these days are maturing fast....)

From Yoke Weng: A child’s view is always fascinating – so pure. No beating about the bush. Who is "sissy"? (sister?). I presume Tan Yan meant that "sissy" has taken a liking for Hugo (who is related to the Gohs - because he is Hugh Goh. Quote from Swan Foo)

Nai Eng and Yoke Weng achieved 100% attendance in 3rd Quarter 2009 from 5 July 09 till today (9 Aug 09)

Meet the talented and witty Tan Yan (Pei Lin's 8 year old daughter)

When offered some dates by Yoke Weng, the witty Primary 2 Tan Yan retorted: "Not only do I not like eating dates, I also don't like having dates." Mummy Pei Lin, who was just a few meters away, was surprised (or shocked?) to hear it and was adamant that her daughter had meant she not only did not like the dates offered by Yoke Weng but all other types of dates as well. We vehemently disagreed with her and asked her to check it out with Tan Yan who replied instantly: "I don't like the boys in my class." So Tan Yan was obviously referring to that kind of romantic dates.

House warming gift for Pei Lin and Shih Pin

Fantastic turn out to celebrate our nation's birthday

ABC Historian Choon Chiang (with his mammoth memory) throws light on the 9 Aug 06 photograph

Choon Chiang writes:

The 9 Aug 2006 group photo above was taken by a student using Ah Keong's camera. A total of 19 persons came for the run despite the long distance.

It was an interesting picture with many people turning up - the gang of four from Hainan Island, WLS from USA, Innocent from Pasir Ris (the taxi trip must have cost her a bomb), Jessica fresh from Parliament, Jasmine back from Atacama, Juliet on term break from the States, "newbies" Eric, Choy May, Peng Hong, Chee Kiang and David, the elusive Ah Keong, Goh CC preparing to go away to Abu Dhabi and of course Dearest Mui Keng ( I believe gallant Bee Lok gave her a lift as she would not have been able to drive to NTU). Present also were two out of three Leaders ( B&C) and the usual stalwarts like Yoke Weng, Seng Cheong and Bee Lok.

CC's Questions :

1. What was the combined age of the three ladies in front of Leader B ?

2. What was written on Dr Aw's Tee Shirt

3. What was the hairy ball-like object in Juliet's hand.

AYG (Blog Master):

1. If you can answer the 3 questions posed by CC, send me the answers...you stand to win an exciting prize.

2. I am still waiting for someone to tell me who was the male ABC runner whose pedicured toes I showed a few postings ago (on 27 July 2009).

19 (inclusive of 2 guests) turned up for Dempsey Road Run on 2 Aug 2009

19 turned up for the 2 Aug 2009 run. Those not captured in the photos included Evangeline, Raphael, and Chee Kiang.
