Who are these ASSES?









In the beginning, there was a group of special children brought into this world mostly by mistake, and mostly in the cycle of the Monkey. For they were banded together up on a hill in Karamunsing, a God-forsaken nook in colonial Jesselton, cradled behind the dog's ear of British North Borneo. For some, it was a time of much gnashing of teeth over the daily morning hike up the dense woodlands to a playground kindergarten. So life's journey began here for these little brats, graduating to Saint Agnes primary at Likas, and finally to All Saints School. And they excelled in the fine art of chatter and mischief until the year of the great big "O" Levels in 1973. By then, who wouldn't become highly sexed teenagers, having been brought up in a repressive Anglican mission school? Alas, the pearly gates of freedom finally swung open and the buggers were simply awed by the free air, free sex, drugs and alcohol. So in the spirit of Woodstock and the name of flowerpower, they began to Rock And Roll the world, spreading their wild oats and free honey throughout the far corners of the earth.

Thirty years later, these monyets are still at large, roaming the world, seeking new experiences, trying new positions, soaking up the exotic, massaging the erotic. This band of crazies are today revered by those who came before or after them, for they can really party at fifty. And that is why they have become known as ASS Class of '73.
