Sin Tai Lim is the only other from BD3 class of 1981 known to blog. His daily food blog about the top spots in Kl or other parts of Malaysia for curry fish head, bak kut teh, Assam laksa etc are interesting read.
He has a section devoted to the Building class of BD3 – 1981 including the several re-unions that the group had in KL in recent years.
