Venue: Redcliffe Community Centre, Corner Epson Ave 7 Grand Parade. Redcliffe. Condolences Deepest sympathy to Ivy Klass and family on the loss of Harry Klass who passed away on 22 May.
You had to be there to really appreciate this news item. It brought a tear to some eyes I can assure you. Well the old Management Committee got through the required AGM matters in its normal professional way. Then we came to General Business items. It came as quite a shock to our great outgoing President Heather to be nominated and elected as a new Life Member. She thoroughly deserved the honor. But wait there’s more. There was a second Life Member to be nominated! Me! Well I never did, it came like a bolt out of the blue. OK I have done a few things for the association over the years, but only because I enjoyed doing them and enjoy the rich cultural cross section of members and guests one gets to meet. Oh and of course the FOOD! To those two guys that proposed and seconded the motion - Many thanks (What was your Swiss bank account number again?). To the members present who voted in the affirmative, Thank you very much, I am sincerely humbled by this most gracious award. Keep a close eye on the web site as we will soon be making a few changes as a result of the AGM. Please go to our photo album site and look in March 2010 Newsletter for details Condolances to Margaret Koh & family on the sad loss of your husband Tommy Koh on 11th November 2009 Congratulations to Dickie & Shirley Hendroff on ther Golden Wedding anniversary on November 28th Congratulations to Elsie Nunis on the wonderful occasion of her 93rd birthday on 26th November 2009. Elsie is our oldest member - hope you had a fantastic Birthday! “Kopitiam” means coffee-shop in a mix of Malay and Chinese. A “Kopitiam” typically offers traditional fare and is a popular gathering place for local news & gossip. In Singapore, however, the word has, over the years, earned for itself, so many layers of associations, that is has managed to burst out of the literary constraints of traditional lexicon. It has taken on a life far greater than its original meaning. Today, kopitiam conjures for any Singaporean, the potent taste of thick black coffee stinging his lips and the aromatic scent of long-brewed tea searing his nostrils. The word can make him lick his lips at the sudden memory of sweet kaya paste (coconut jam) coating his tongue or yearn for the runny goodness of a half boiled egg slipping down his throat. Kopitiam brings back the vociferous cheer of football fans watching the World Cup over a few beers. Or fragments of yesterday´s conversation about the latest Singapore Idol and the neighbour’s new car. “Kopitiam” will not bring to mind lattes, cappuccinos, or al fresco cafe´s. Nor will it make one think of chocolate croissant, mocca milkshakes or dainty canapés. For it is too robust a hive of activity and too busy a meeting place for anyone merely bent on sipping quiet beverages or nibbling pretty pastries. It is instead a spot to relax into the cacophony of Singapore life, indulge in a bit of coffee-shop talk and revel in Singapore´s lighter side. Welcome to Singapore Kopitiam. It doesn’t matter where in the world you are, you too can be part of the kopitiam experience. Enjoy. |
