Dear SACO members,

One of our family member-- our ex-conductor, Mr Yeo Puay Hian had left us on 11th July 2007
He had been SACO longer than anyone, even the teachers-in-charge, for 20 over years
Seeing through the ups and down that SACO had went through
Conducting a Gold orchestra and even when we did not do well he did not give up on us
His pay from us is consider low across the level
coz he conduct SACO due to love for this orchestra rather than money
he did not want to pressure us- the already pressured JC students
so he used soft approach on us and always keeping that smile on
I admit that when i enter CO, i heard abt his LOVE to touch students
and calling us Hai Zi Men
but nonetheless, the great long breaks he gave us and the patience that not everyone has
though we like to call him a L***** behind his back
but we know that he care for us and if we are to name a person with the most passion for SACO it will be him
he is the only one who can still smile with Mdm Hue nagging
with us arguing that our poor skills is due to him not conducting properly
personally i think that being a vegetarian cultivated his good and mild temper
I remember that one of my last conversation with him
is when the DSA people came and we are trying to protect the cello juniors from his "evil hands"
and the usual me is as agitated as him and saying or rather shouting
"Ni yao gan she me!!!!" but he juz smile and walk off
that is one of the last few time i saw him as he suddenly disappear
after that, we knew that he got cancer and is in a serious condition
but still, he called Mr Low our present conductor and asked him to helped us
We thought that Mr Low will be with us for a while and Mr Yeo will be back soon
but now... everything seems impossible

Mr Yeo,
We are sorry for not appreciating your good when you are with us.
SACO really Thank you very very much for your endless effort with us all these years.
Though we have thought of a dozen of things to do for you when you are admited into hospital, but none of it was done, not even the fruits that we wrapped.
We will pray for you and hope that you can rest in peace.
I am sure that none of us can forget your kind smile.

ATTENTION ALL SACO MEMBERS(both present and ex)
We will be going to Mr Yeo's funeral on
DATE: 13th July(fri)
TIME: Evening, to be confirmed again
VENUE: block 514 jurong west street 52
We will be meeting at Lakeside Mrt so more details will be updated.

People, please Mr Yeo no matter what religion you are!!!
