2023 Yum Cha

A small group of us gathered at East Ocean for yumcha. East Ocean would have been one of the restaurants that existed when we were studyingn at Sydney University and some of us would have had yumcha there so this is yet another trip down memory lane.

2022 35th Graduation Anniversary Reunion

We had our 35th graduation anniversary reunion on 25 May 2022 4pm. University of Sydney graciously booked two rooms for us (with the help of John McQueen who unfortunately couldn’t attend).

2022 Reunion Dinner

For our 2022 reunion, we had dinner at Otto Noorba - a Turkish-Italian restaurant on Glebe Point Rd. Photos by Stuart Pook and Chris Tham.

2021 Zoom Call

Zoom Call organised by Thomas, and attended by Hugh, Suk Wah, Gary and Sing Guat, Luis.

Graduation Dinner

After our graduation, a group of us (including some staff) went to a graduation dinner at a restaurant that I cannot remember the name of (can someone please help me!).

Graduation

Pictures from our graduation in 1988. This is taken at the lawn outside the main building of the University of Sydney.

Photos from Hugh

Various photos from Hugh’s archive.

Common Room

The honours common room was used by us as a place to study, log on to the computer, chat, and relax. Some of us practically lived here, sleeping on sleeping beds.

Yum Cha

A yum cha session at Chinatown featuring members of the honours students plus staff.

Madsen

These photos are taken outside the Madsen building. It was towards the end of the year, and I think we were all realising we would hopefully be graduating soon, so we took these photos.

Badminton Court

The basement of the Madsen building contained a room (intended as a bomb shelter) large enough for a makeshift badminton court.

Wentworth Building Food Court

The Wentworth Building houses the Student Union, and there was a food court that we frequented for meals.
