Primary School Gathering

After a year's hiatus, I met up with my primary schoolmates last Friday.

We have a "tradition" to meet up every Teacher's Day - to celebrate the day with our Chinese Teacher, Ms Wong, and also to catch up with each other. We didn't manage to meet last year so this year, one week prior to Teacher's Day, I sms-ed Shini (as i couldn't get Yaqi) and before we knew it, over 10 people were okay to meet!

I guess we are really proud of ourselves. Proud in a sense that even after so many years, 12 years to be exact, we are still making effort to organise this annual gathering. And the fact is, the group is getting bigger! This year the newbies are Kah Kit (or Kiat?) and Liyuan. And we plan to "recruit" more pple next year... =)

Anyway, back to the nite. We 1st had dinner at Crystal Jade at Bishan J8, afterwhich we saw Ms Wong home, then proceed for chit-chat session at Macdonalds. Later on we moved to the coffeeshop nearby (with the guys drinking some beers) as it was too hot at Macdonalds. Though there were some awkward silences in between, the overall feeling was great. Sure we never fail to talk about the same old stuff each year we meet...but it was really a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that you have such great "old" friends that are growing old with you...

We are meeting up again this coming wednesday nite...looking forward to it and just hope that our "tradition" and friendship will lasts for as long as possible...
