School Gathering

Last Saturday, there was this secondary school reunion / gathering which I thought real hard as to whether I should attend cos... (1) The attendees are mostly from Arts stream... (I'm from Science stream i.e. we're not classmates) and (2) I don't keep in touch with them until lately, when someone found someone else on Facebook and pretty soon, nearly the whole batch of students from my year was on Facebook (power of social networking sites)...

But since I had nothing on that night, I decided to just pop by for awhile cos' it's just 5min from my house. OWLoon and my parents accompanied me there but they had their drinks next door.

I entered the cafe alone and the minute I stepped in, I could feel ALL eyes on me!!! The 60 full seconds that I was at the door, I could literally feel my cheeks burning!!! Lucky thing, I saw one of my friends; Jo who quickly stood up to greet me.

Thereafter the entire night, I stayed put at where I was (next to Jo) and every now and then there'd be someone asking "Do you remember me?" or come to me and blabber out my name in FULL. Pretty amazing considering the fact that nobody calls me by my full name these days. Worst was the comment that I got non stop "Wahhh you looked so different now!!!" which was of course to me a silly remark given that the last time we met was like 13 freaking years ago. If I still look like the secondary girl I was (think mushroom short hair with thick glasses), die LOR!!!

Sigh... anyway, the entire night went on with lots of photo taking which I tried to politely stay out of cos' I just had my session at the dentist that evening and was still sore... can't really smile properly... but here's 2 of them...

I left immediately after this group shot to join OWLoon and my parents next door.

Sigh... maybe I should organize a GANG reunion. Here's a OLD picture of us with our brand new uniforms (sponsored by our school) after we mass-resigned from being prefects... Story for another day... but here are my best-est pals from Secondary School: Kok Eng, Colin, Daniel and Jackie! Dunno why but we sort of lost touch with Pei Yee (the only one in prefect uniform)...

Miss you guys!
