Grand Reunion - General Topics

This is a "catch-all" posting for anything that doesn't fit in the other categories.

Agenda for the Day

This is George's initial proposal. Let's discuss and tweak where necessary, before I post on the main blog.

1. Breakfast: 8.30am. Meet at: thompson's at nanas rd or kwong up at keretapi or foodygoody in tabuan jaya or lauyakeng temple at carpenter st, or any other suggestion?
2. St Joe visit: 10.30am. Will be school hols so I think have to get permission from the principal to tour the place.
3. Lunch 12.30pm: the Spring shopping centre food court.
4. Afternoon activities: Shopping at the Spring [Kuching's newest shopping centre], or go for a movie at the newest cineplex MDO at the Spring, or for those more adventurous can go for a massage or foot reflexology.
5. Grand Reunion Dinner: 7pm
6. 11pm - adjourn to Victoria's arms .... or Vicky's or Vixy's or whoever ... LOL.

*   What delicious food are we gonna have on the night ?

*   Is it western or asian or intrnational or other ?

*   How much will the food cost & how do we get the best deal ?

*   Are special dietary requirements catered for ?

and many others ....
