Uncle Tiu's retirement party

We (SJAB) had a surprise big gathering yesterday night. Nothing special. Just to celebrate Uncle Tiu's retirement.


Those who regularly goes for duties, or those who had went for duties would have know Uncle Tiu.

He is a paid driver of our ambulances. But what he does goes beyond his job scope and his responsibilities.

When you meet uncle Tiu, he would always put on his trademark big smile, gave a colonial salute and greet you "morning sir". And he's always smiling.

Going for duties with him, and he will treat you to some drinks and sometimes, snacks from his own pocket.

You got a duty? you need driver? Uncle Tiu is always there, volunteering to help you out, even when it's a weekend. He even volunteer when he's sick.

And now, he retired and it's time for him to have his own time to relax and enjoy his old age.

So TS got an idea. He "conned" Uncle Tiu to HQ on the notation that there's a duty, and there's not enough drivers. Uncle Tiu volunteered to help, even though he had retired.

So, me and SQ went down to pick him up in an ambulance.

On the way back, SQ managed to snapped a few photos of the fly past of the NDP rehersal.


And when we reach back HQ, TS was telling us to go into lecture room 2 for duty briefing. I miss all the fun, as i was parking the ambulance back into the garage, and packing up all the medical equipment.

"Surprise, Surprise!!"



Uncle Tiu and the whole group of his "fans". Can't imagine the whole brunch turn up to celebrate for him.

And we have a makan time.




Food, food, glourious food!!!

And knowing Uncle Tiu, he will always appear at SJ HQ, helping us out at major duties, be it retired or not.

That's our Uncle Tiu.
