The Arrival

As the dinner will include special guests whom are mostly School Prefects from SMK Sacred Heart SChool, Sibu, part of the Alumni Committee member's duty was to welcome them at the bus station and also make sure that they all arrive safely.

The Suria Bus bringing the students from Sibu arrived at the Kuching Bus Terminal at 3:45 p.m

At hand to recieve them was Mr. Bartholomew Ngieng - his presence made it more appropriate as he is the Alumni's de facto Travelling Manager.

The students unloading their personal belongings and the precious 'kompia' which was imported from Sibu inside the bus compartment - a natural microwave oven which will ensure the 'kompia' is warm and fresh for the dinner

The dinner started with the the school rally

The dinner included speeches by the Patron, Mr. Vincent Lau Lee Ming; President, Dr. Bryan Lim Choon Yang and the saying of grace by Bro Albinus

In the spotlight that night was Miss Irene Tiong, who managed to join the Alumni dinner - all the way from Kuala Lumpur. The Alumni was happy with her presence

Special Dedication Award for Brother Albinus

The Master of ceremony Mr. Paul Wong was as busy as a bee that night

There was a special performance by the SMK Sacred Heart students - and everyone thought that it was a Boy's school? Things have changed as they saw SHS's very own Spice Girl band.

A Ball Room dance presentation by the students of SMK Sacred Heart - elegant and smooth performance all the way

The much more modern dance - the older Alumni members could not remember when this dance was made famous as they were still stuck on The Twist and Cha Cha Cha. But their children were thrilled by the fancy moves

Finally a number that the Alumni are familiar with which wss led by the President himself

The giving out of funds for the needy students fund amounting to RM2000 was handed to the SMK Sacred Heart Principal

The Principal's turn to dish out a present in the form of a guitar - with the hope this winner will return for the next Alumni dinner and play along with the Alumni President

Towards the end - it was a final dance session with the patron Mr. Vincent Lau who showed that he can do the fancy moves too

Finally the Auld Lang Syne - to say we'll meet again in the next 22nd Alumni dinner
