HTC-PFAC FAN DANCERS' REUNION
ANDREW: Kim Xuan,
you won't believe this. I found your
friend Van, the fan dancer who used to perform with you.
VAN: Oh my
god! It is you, Xuan? I was trying to figure out if you were the
person that I knew of in the camp. You were always the tallest person in the
fan dance group! Wow! This is amazing. How could you and Mr. Andrew
Aaron Taylor still be in touch after 30 years? I just
came back from my vacation and was just in Australia. I didn't know your
whereabouts in Australia. We could have
reunited. Not sure if you still remember
Binh aka Bonnie
Ly? I
visited her in Melbourne. Hope to chat with you soon, Kim Xuan.
ANDREW: Hello,
Van. It's been a long time.
VAN: Mr. Andrew
Aaron Taylor, yes it's been over twenty years since we
saw each other in Toronto. Glad Facebook
is around.
ANDREW: You're
absolutely right, Van. Please catch Kim
Xuan's interview on our PFAC Palawan Blog.
VAN: Yes, I'll
definitely check it out. Thank you.
VAN: Wow. That's
amazing! I didn't even know that the PFAC was on Facebook until last week, my
sister Deb or known as Diep brought it to my attention.
KIM XUAN: Wow
Andy. That's amazing. How do I get in
touch with Van?
VAN:
I'm right here, Kim Xuan.
KIM XUAN: Hi,
Van. What a shame you've just left
Aussie. Yes, I was indeed the tallest and Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh hasn't caught up to my height. I can't remember Binh at all, nor your weird
name now. Do you mind if you could
refresh a bit ?
VAN: It's Van Ngoc
Nguyen. Just a month ago, I was looking through our pix from the camp and you
were in that pix too. I will look for it
later on and will show you. Lydie Kim
Loan Nguyen? Looking at her profile pix
I think I know her too. Was also looking at the pix from the camp before I went
for my vacation to meet up with Binh Ly in Melbourne.
KIM XUAN: OMG ...
so you're actually Van, like Andy just said ?
VAN: Yes, Kim
Xuan. Do you still remember me?
KIM XUAN: Yes, I
can tell it's you now. You have
beautiful eyes. Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh is Kim Loan the trio in the ballet pix. I still have that picture too.
VAN: Yes. Oh my god. I can't believe you both haven't changed much
at all. I'm glad to have found you.
KIM XUAN: Indeed I
remember now. Your sister is called
Diep.
OMG. We just missed each other. Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh visited me in Australia two years ago..
VAN: This is Binh
Ly. Do you remember her?
VAN: This is her
now. Still looks the same 30 years
after. Was last month when I met up with her in Melbourne. I just came
back from my vacation last night so kind-a jet lagged and been up since
yesterday morning. Wow, that is amazing
that you both still keep in touch. We should
definitely have a reunion. Binh and I
Are thinking in 5 years.
BENNY ONG: Van,
Kim and Andy... you made me cry, just reading all the messages. It brought back a lot of good memories of
PFAC. I love these three girls a lot. Kim Xuan, Kim Loan and Van were the star
dancers of HTC-PFAC before and they were a bunch of beautiful girls who met the dignitaries
visiting the camp and entertained them.
Sister Tomasa will be very happy to know that you all are reunited
again. Keep the fire burning in your
friendship. I'm so emotional!
VAN: Oh my
god. Me too. I've been going through the box to search for
more pix. I've been telling the stories
to my hubby and my two kids all day. Lol.
I'm so happy right now. Best day!
Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh: Me
too. I'm so happy. Phan and I were talking about this on the phone
more than two hours. Thanks to Mr. Andrew
Aaron Taylor for this FB reunion. Yes Mr Boy, so emotional. We will keep this
friendship burning more and more...
ANDREW: When I
found Van, I thought of Kim Xuan and Boy right away. But most especially Boy. I truly believed in my heart
that Boy would be very thrilled and emotional to be reunited with Van. Kim Xuan
and Van are Boy's babies. Part of Boy's success in the camp was the dedication
of these Vietnamese Fan Dancers and usherettes. God bless you all.
BENNY ONG: You
said it right, Andy. And I thank you so
much for always being an angel... for reconnecting me to all the VN who are
special and dear to me. It is just
ethereal that all of these are happening now.
Seeing my dearest fan dancers who were my angels before and until now, and
seeing them so successful and still pretty and gorgeous brought me to a higher
level of fulfillment and pride.
ANDREW: Well said,
Boy. Absolutely said well.
KIM XUAN: Great
childhood keeping us young and pretty.
The three of us have one thing in common. We came to the camp with our
mothers only, and each of us had a sibling.
Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh: Van
also has a brother- Anh Lộc.
VAN: Wow. You both impressed me with your memories. Yes, you're correct. I have an older brother named Anh Loc.
KIM XUAN: Hi Van
and Loan. look at these pix. That's how cute we were. Thanks to the HTC for
making us look this great. Considering
it was 30 years ago, but the teachers were able to pull up great costumes and
training (choreography).
KIM XUAN: I am so
happy to have found another long lost friends of mine after 30 years. Thanks to
Andrew Aaron Taylor youthful pix that I and my
friend jumped in to comment and that's how we connect with each other. Ngoc Van and Kim Loan and I were the 3
children of HTC who were much loved and cared for by all the HTC teachers and
performed together at most of the functions. This was how Van and I look like
in Palawan.
BENNY ONG: OMG,
our three lovable and beautiful muses and dancers are finally reunited on
FB. This is so amazing.... best regards
Kim Xuan, Kim Loan and Van. So happy for
you!
Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh: Yes Mr
Boy oi, very happy
VAN: I'm glad to
get in touch with you too, Mr. Benny Ong.
BENNY ONG: OMG,
Van oi. I am so emotional right now.
Kim Xuan and I were talking about you when I was in Australia, and she really
hoped that the three of you would finally keep in touch. This is just so emotional.
VAN: And I was
just there a week ago. I reunited with Bonnie Ly known as Binh Ly. I was talking about her and the rest of the
gang dancers. Too bad I didn't see her when I was in Melbourne it's OK though. There's another chance again !
Lydie Kim Loan: Yes, Van. I'm looking forward to your visit. I recognized Binh. She and Hai Duong are Phan's friend.
VAN: Yes, you're
right. It's just too bad that I never
had the chance to be in touch with Phan.
BENNY ONG: Really?
Kim Xuan will be very upset to hear that you were there, but you were not able
to meet. She was a great host when I went there. I had so much fun and great time with her
family.
Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh:
Phan's FB account is Hoang
Lam Vo.
VAN: Omg. Thanks, Lydie Kim Loan
Huynh. I'm a
happy person today having been reconnected with all of you. Thanks to Mr. Andrew
Aaron Taylor!
KIM XUAN: I am
amazed at how there are so many activities and friends developed during those
time consider how tiny PFAC/VRC is when I was there a few months ago. The place
wasn't that big but could house a lot of us.
VAN: Great
memories that's for sure.
KIM XUAN: I feel
so blessed having reunited with all my childhood friends.
ANDREW: And I'm
delighted to be a part of it. Thanks to Diep too and my FB connection to Dung.
