I have always wondered how many different type of airplanes there are… how big, how many people can they have… etc…
Finally got down to do a tabulation of some of the different types of planes around…
The variation is really a handful!!!
Came across this interesting show : Round the world in “80 Trades”. Another cool way to see the world.
The host Conor Woodman is actually an economist by profession, but one day just felt that he don’t want to be desk- bound, so decided to go round the world. But with a difference. He traded to go round the world. He sold his house for £25,000 and went to different countries, buying from one region n selling at other making a profit. Watch it… quite a different n inspiring program!!
Our reunion – At MHSS – On 1 Aug 2009 – At 7pm – Attended by more than 40 ex-students, teachers n principal.
Way to go… 20 years since our graduation for batch 1989! Other younger n older batches were there also. This reunion is special cos it is at Monk’s Hill itself. The school has a new lease of life since May 2009 this year. Now is a hip education hub and houses many other offices. All our classrooms are converted to functional offices.
Our canteen is converted to a hip bistro serving International food and wine. Not advertising the place… but a cool gathering place, and it really bring back loads of memories. The “new canteen” bistro detail: District 10 – Tel: 6738 4788 if anyone keen on future or personal gathering.
Surprise appearance by the teachers – Mr Aman, Mrs Govin, Ms Ong KT, Mdm Ng, Mrs Ang KK, Mr Tan Wang Tee and even Mrs Neo Bick Yin (our principle). It made the occasion special. We also manage to celebrate Steven Wong birthday there….
Thanks to everyone who made time for this gathering. You all have made the event memorable and special. For those who miss it, hope you will pop over to our old school when you have time and feel it yourself. Bet those fond memories will just overwhelm u… Till the next time we meet…. below are some photos for remembrance

Sometimes though you don’t earn mileage with the flight, having the mileage helps you when in waitlist status! If you have lots of mileage, you can even enough exclusive airport lounge facilities.
Anyway, all membership registration is free.
