It's been a looooong while...

My apologies for not writing here for such a long time.

Been busy. Also, with the school receiving RM560,ooo from the state government, the urgency for fund-raising was lifted. With this allocation, the roofs of all the blocks have since been repaired. The ceilings of the science lab rooms too. And also the support beams of the school hall. Will post soon the photos provided by Ms Lim Lay Hoon (quite some time ago; fresh round of apologies!).

Would also like to inform everyone that the Cherish TMGS website has not been accessible for some months now because the web design company which did it for us has been in a limbo. CK Loh, the web-master who kindly donated the site to us, has been fighting pancreatic cancer these past two years. When the website was down, we didn't want to disturb him and his family. CK lost his fight and passed away on Saturday, May 1.



To CK, we bid you adieu with sadness. We honour your memory and remember your good deed to us and our school. May you rest in peace and may your family find solace and strength in the times you have shared.

Those who know CK may wish to visit his blogspot "Taiping Coffee."
