Finally, something to update! A gathering at Seah St Deli at the Raffles Hotel. Meiyan could not turn up as she was not feeling well. Lijuan rushed from work to join us. Quansheng braved the Friday night traffic.
Jianhui was the first to arrive after me. Despite all these lost years, I could still recognise him in an instant in spite of his not wearing glasses, dyed hair and stouter (is there such a word?) build. We reminiscise about JC times (what else?) and how lost we were in studies. I was surprised to hear from him that many students now feel the same. I guess some times you have to let nature take its course.
Quansheng wore a pair of really classic glasses and I thought he looked really good in them. He was the only one that needed to wear glasses because the rest of us had Lasik done.
As for Lijuan, to find out more about her recent activities, please do visit her blog!
I heard Gina is back in Singapore so hopefully she can join us for our next gathering, possibly CNY 2009.
The venue was the AJ Square, which I think used to be where the basketball courts were located. There were some 80 tables and we were seated at Table 78. I do not think there were many from our year, many about 4-5 tables at most. The program started with the usual speeches and the rather boisterous atmosphere attested to the fact that many, like our table, were busy interacting and catching up rather than paying attention to the speeches. The dinner itself was satisfactory, but we were not there for the dinner per se anyway, with some of the ticket proceeds going to the school. It was mostly a night for photo taking opportunities with former classmates and teachers.
Of course, the other 'star' was Zack whom we recently found on Facebook. Technology is wonderful!
