Victoria Institution Sports Day 2007

I remember the days, i walk through this corridor of my old school, Victoria Institution, feeling really proud to be a student in a school full of tradition and heritage.

Every morning of 2005, i would walk through this corridor, where on the left, was the faces of sucessful ex-victorians. I have always wondered, will i ever be one of them. Being an inspiration to the younger generations? I have alway remembered walking alone this corridor, breathing the freshest air i could possibly get in KL. Walking the coolest area in KL.
I kid you not, VI is one of the coolest place you can get around KL. We dont have air cons, but we have trees and large empty spaces to keep cool...
I also remember the days when i use to seat down on the floor of this great hall of VI.
I've heard many people talk in the hall in VI. Ranging from the great Mahatir till just an ordinary victorian. Everything that was spoken was inspiring.

Yap Ah Loy's last grandson dies at 97

24 Jan 2007,KUALA LUMPUR: George Yap Swee Fatt, the last grandson of Yap Ah Loy, KL’s Kapitan Cina, died yesterday morning. He was 97.His last moments were spent with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at his eldest daughter’s residence here."He was frail towards the end," said his eldest daughter, Datin Patricia Indot nee Yap. "But he lived a good life and he was always proud to know that he came from one of KL’s founding families that contributed much towards the city’s early development." Yap (picture), who was the youngest son of Yap Hon Chin, remembered in interviews the opulent life his father lived in KL’s old quarters near the Chin Woo stadium.He studied at the Victoria Institution, was a scholar who won book prizes, played cricket, tennis and was an active orator and drama member. Yap, who worked as a health inspector until he opted for early retirement, married Lucy Ho Kam Leng who passed away 25 years ago.They had one son and three daughters: Henry Yap who is in the United States, Patricia Indot in KL, May Yeow in Canada and Fanny Tan in Singapore. His children have all retired, with only Fanny Tan still working as a deputy principal of ACS Singapore (Independent).He leaves behind seven grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren."His favourite pastime was to hang out with his friends in their sixties whom he affectionately termed as young punks."The wake is at 30 Jalan Tualang, Bukit Bandaraya, here. Cortege leaves for the Cheras crematorium at 2pm today.
