April 16, 2005 is Dr Richard Koh's Birthday!















Richard Koh and wife Sik Ha have three children, Terence (23), Heidi (20) and Darell (17). As you will note, the Kohs were early starters and can now sit back, relax and perhaps, look forward to having grandchildren soon! Richard runs his own medical practice in Shah Alam, Selangor while Sik Ha is a homemaker. Terence is already working. Heidi is an aspiring Fashion Designer currently in Singapore while Darell is in Form 5. Home for the Kohs is in Bandar Puteri, Puchong.

Hobbies: Looking after 2 dogs. An avid golfer, he laments that his handicap has remained stagnant for quite some time (but) "can play single from Red Tees!" - usually the sign of a buaya golfer! An enthusiastic sports fan who keeps track of sports events, especially soccer - those in the know say it's all because of the betting!!!.
Habits: Don't smoke, don't drink, don't gamble, don't womanise - but to quote Chye Pin, " I only tell lies".
Philosophy: Floating on the stream of life - steering clear of obstacles occasionally, coasting when the current is slow, paddling hard when the going gets tough.

APRIL 1, 2005 IS RONNIE'S BIRTHDAY!
Topic: April Birthdays
"MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!" One of Ron's Favourite Songs This simple entry is to make sure that I do not miss a birthdate of our classmate and my old neighbour with whom I've had many great memories, both in and out of the classroom.
We've made rockets, spear-guns and cross-bows together, arm-wrestled and karate-chopped against each other, learnt to roller skate, do wheelies on regular motorbikes and raced against each other with our cars - Ron's rear-engined Fiat 600 versus my 2-cylinder air-cooled Toyopet 700! In these very same mini-cars, we've roamed the streets of Malacca girl-hunting and group dating... And we've gone swimming in tin-mining pools and spent long hours fishing and even drove to Batu-Tiga for the then Malaysian Grand Prixs, overnighting at Templers Park to save costs. Ron had many friends and varied interests, but we respected each other always and never tried to influence each other otherwise. It is with quite some regret though that in the last decade, save for a visit I made to his home a few years ago during CNY, there isn't any communication or companionship as we went our own ways and led our own lifes. Ron, my old friend, "Happy Birthday and may you be blessed with happiness, joy and fullfilment!"
