90th Anniversary Celebration Dinner 30th Nov 2019
Immediately after our 89th Anniversary Celebration, we discussed that our subsequent 90th Anniversary should go regional. That is regional celebrations to be once every five years instead of ten. One decade lapse in between is too long a time. A sub-committee was formed to organise this function almost one year ago. We had very capable members executing this tough job.
29th Nov, we greeted our compatriots arriving from Peninsular Malaysia, East Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. Coaches were waiting for them at Changi Airport and fetched all guests to the prearranged hotels where they checked in and freshened up. Welcome dinner was held at Yen Palace.
30th Nov. It was a fun-filled day visiting iconic Merlion at Marina Bay and Singapore's newest attraction "The Jewel" at Changi International Airport. Gala Dinner was held at Qian Xi Restaurant. Our Guest-of-Honour was Mr Yee Chia Hsing (余家兴) Member of Parliament, Chua Chu Kang GRC.
1st Dec. After breakfast, all overseas guests were sent off at Changi Airport and we bid farewell, safe flights to our distinguished guests.

印尼坤甸余徐佘涂公所成立八十周年纪念大典 2019年 9月 21日
Yayasan Eh Tjhe Sia Thoe 80th Anniversary Celebration, Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Pontianak (West Kalimantan, Indonesia) is some 630 km (392 miles) east of Singapore. Its time zone is +7 hrs UTC. Yayasan Eh Tjhe Sia Thoe (余徐佘涂公所) held their 80th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 21st and most regional Yee Clans were invited.
This visit was our first time. Mr Ermanto AQ (余偉球) warmly welcomed us at Supadio International Airport on Sept 19th evening. We checked-in at a 4 Star Kapuas Palace Pontianak Hotel. We learnt that the Hotel owner is a “Yee”.
Sept 20th. Friday was a free day, so we toured a nearby wet market “Pasar Flamboyan” and the city. Most participants turned up on Sept 20th night. Their flights were delayed due to heavy haze in this region.
Sept 21st. Our host brought us to this acclaimed Equator Monument which was located precisely along the Equator, latitude 0° 0' 0". We had an educational and fun time there. Our visit was timely as today was the Autumnal Equinox (Sept 21- 23) just before 12 noon. These bi-annual events are commemorated here as visitors and locals enjoy a five-minute shadowless moment in the best ‘hot spot’ of Borneo. An egg could stand on its end easily. Grand celebration dinner was at 7pm, Kapaus Hotel. There were a total of 20 tables. Grand fanfare, we were treated to a repertoire of songs by a local member’s daughter who won many singing contests. We were further entertained by a host of exceptionally good singers.
Sept 22nd. A 5 hrs drive brought us to Singkawan, to visit their 1000 temples. Some were more than 200 years old. A beach was nearby.
Sept 23rd. We checked-out of hotel, passed by the Association’s building and made our way through airport immigration for a flight home.
The 80th Anniversary Celebration was a big success despite the initial fears of haze might adversely affect incoming flights. All of us were pampered by our hosts who were utmost attentive and affectionate. Thank you Yayasan Eh Tjhe Sia Thoe. We wish you well!

印尼坤甸余徐佘涂公所成立八十周年纪念大典
印尼坤甸余徐佘涂公所来函，邀请新加坡余氏总会的宗亲前往坤甸，出席公所成立八十周年纪念庆典。虽然烟霾笼罩印尼，余氏总会共11位宗亲仍无惧烟霾，于9月19日飞往坤甸出席庆典。
抵达坤甸已经是傍晚5点多。坤甸的余伟球理事长在机场已等候多时。走出大厅，前方所见，一片雾茫茫，空气中弥漫着一股烧焦味。大家急忙戴上口罩，毕竟照顾好身体还是很重要。吃过晚餐，办好了入住酒店的手续。舟车颠簸了一整天，终于可以好好的休息了！
庆典是在后天晚上举行。我们早到了一天。在酒店吃过早餐后，不想困在房间里，尽管外面烟霾浓密，大伙儿仍带着愉快的心情，悠闲的到处逛逛，体验异地的风土民情。
坤甸（Pontianak）是西加里曼丹省首府，位于赤道附近，人口大约63万，华人人口则了占三分之一，是典型的华人社会。大伙儿逛了巴刹，又光顾了峇迪服装店，一个下午一晃就过去了。晚上在酒店的餐馆用餐，偌大的餐厅就只有我们这组新加坡的11位宗亲。
其他如香港、麻坡、诗巫、古晋、永平等各地的宗亲因为烟霾的问题导致班机无法降落，折返吉隆坡。一来一返的，一直折腾到晚上9点多，各地的宗亲才陆续的抵达酒店。辛苦了接机的坤甸理事们，也累坏了来赴宴的各地宗亲们。

Guangzhou Taishan Roots Finding Tour
Many members requested our Association to organise a Roots Finding Tour in Guangzhou. Asia Plus Travelling was tasked to arrange a suitable 6 days travel itinerary. Meanwhile, we contacted our counterparts, Yee Wen Hai and Yee Jianqiang in Kaiping for their assistance. We are grateful to them for their superb arrangements and enthusiastic search for my ancestral home in Chao Wan Village. I had no idea where this village was located in Taishan.
May 18th, 2019 at 8:20am, 20 members from Yee Clan Association boarded SQ850 flight to Baiyun International Airport, Guangzhou. All of us were looking forward to learn more about our ancestral history.
First stop was Shaoguan, which was about 190km (118 miles) north of Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. After visiting the grand temple in Shaoguan and various places, we travelled south to Zili Village Diaolou, Kaiping. These unique, multi-story watchtowers were used as fortifications in the 17th century. Now a world UNESCO Heritage site, they were some of the most fascinating historical and architectural artifacts in China. After visiting some other places of interests, we arrived at Dihai Fengcaitang. A group from The Hong Kong Yue Clansmen Association were also visiting Kaiping at the same time and we were able to meet up with them.
余氏总会歌唱班—红白歌唱比赛 2019年 1月 25日, 晚上7点
余氏总会的歌唱班成立至今，已有三年多的时间。在黄良清老师细心教导下，同学们的歌艺都获得了提升，原本羞怯不善于歌唱的同学，也都变得信心满满的，敢站在台上，面对观众，尽情的抒发情感。
学期的最后一课，班长文贵向老师建议组办一次歌唱观摩会，让同学们选唱自己喜欢的歌曲来互相切磋歌艺。黄老师却觉得要搞就要搞得热闹一点，不如来一场红白歌唱比赛，将班上的同学分为红白两组来竞赛，总分最高的那组为优胜组。大家都兴致勃勃的表示赞成。
当晚大家都盛装出席，开场的时候，先唱两首新年歌曲来暖暖场，舒缓一下大家紧张的情绪。接着，比赛正式开始，同学们在台上卖力的演唱，老师在台下认真的评分。
成绩揭晓，白组获得胜利，得到会长进添和副会长文贵赞助的红包奖金。红组虽然以三分之差落败，但友谊第一，比赛第二，丝毫不影响同学们之间的感情。最后，大家高高兴兴的合拍一张团体照，度过了一个温馨、愉快的晚上。

End of Singing Lessons Semester Competition
After more than 3 years of intensive coaching by our maestro teacher, Mr. Huang Liangqing, members of our Yee Clan Association singing class had shown quantum leaps in their vocal agility and performing confidence.
To test out their newly acquired singing prowess, a competition was organised. The class was divided into a Red and a White groups. These 2 groups then face-off with each other with their best repertoire of songs.
Irregardless of who won the competition, it was a fun night and everyone enjoyed the session.
