Wahaha, so exciting! My first blog entry on my spanking brand new laptop! The gloriously small and ultra light IBM X-41! For those of you who knew its predecessor, the monster of an ACER laptop, you would understand why I'm so crazy over my new laptop! And I'm naming it... Princess!
What an absolutely fun weekend. Met up with old friends, caught up on the gossip, and basically indulged in socialising, socialising and more socialising. Haven't done that in a long, long while. Well, at least not socialising that did not involve the boyfriend. A nice change indeed, even though I wish Fadz knew my friends better. Back in AJ, I knew his entire class, and he sort of knew mine. But now, I don't even know who his army buddies are, and he only knows my SMU friends on a face basis. Oh well, another problem for another day.
First up: Pictures from my dinner with the 12/02 peeps. Who turned up? As usual, I spent most of the time dissing Edwin, cos he's just too easy a target. Almost takes away the fun. I also had fun poking Meng Loon in all his silliness.
Group shot!
Meet the food from Out of the Pan at Raffles City. I love the crepes. They are so delicious they border on sin.
Yummy, yummy, tomato crepe stuffed with smoked ham
Me, 3rd sergeant Meng Loon, Jing Xian, psycho commando Edwin
Me and Hui Min (she wanted me to go to a ButchHunt to support her girlfriend!)
Fastforwarding to Saturday evening. After putting in the requisite hours for OCBC, i rushed home to get ready for the Bukit Panjang 45th Anniversary Dinner! So exciting! A time to see who has made it, who hasn't, who looks better, and who looks best with a bag over the head. LOL, to see and say hi to people who once made a difference in my life, be it by making me laugh, cry, or even smile. It was definitely poignant and seeing the old school brought a lump to my throat. I love BP so much it's unbelievable. The school gave my some of the best memories of my life, and everywhere I turned, old snatches of events would replay in my mind. My best friends were made in BP, my heart was first broken in BP, my face was smashed in BP by a volleyball.. so many, many wonderful (?) memories. But that night was one to creat memories too. The only mar to the whole night was that stupid, thick-skinned MING Xin joined our class for the dinner. Oy, imposter, extra, you're not part of the class. You sit there with no one talking to you, very exciting meh? Cheah...
Posing for the camera before stepping out of the house. I'm vain, so what? Put in so much effort to go to a hot field, must take a photo before the makeup is destroyed. I happen to LIKE this photo.
My beloved volleyball girls on our beloved volleyball court!
The 206 classroom where I used to run havoc and amok! Ahhh.. those were the days of stupidity and blissful ignorance to the nth degree...
I was stuck between Goh too-much-eyeliner Hui Yee and Er Chee-Ko-Pek Siong Chie. Yeah. How fun. I also know.
The closest I got to the GOH, SM Goh Chok Tong - Seeing him on the big screen. And yes, the vultures known as the reporters harrassed the poor man the whole night regarding the NKF saga...
I couldn't resist! Muahaha, introducing the No. 1 and No. 2 (shuai ges) of my class. Although No. 2 looks like an ape here. He really did look a lot better in person. Honest. (Left: Wei Yi. Right: Kai Jie)
Of course I had to pose with the infamous Wong Jun Jie. Looks like an Ah Pek right??? Somemore still dare to ask me to sit on his lap. Box him ah!
Other highlights of the evening: Mrs Doreen Soh getting the long service award for 32 years of teaching. Mr Sim Hai Sha got his for 38 years, the longest serving teacher in BP. When he went on stage, old and young ex-pupils of his stood up and gave him a thunderous ovation. We truly love that grandaddy of ours. It was such a great moment to see all his old, old pupils cheering him on. Sniff. Almost makes me want to be a teacher. Almost.
But I believe the best moment came when we all stood up to sing the school song. AJ's school song - who gives a fuck? But BP? We remember it word for word. Both the English and Chinese version. And even the old, old pupils were singing the Chinese version. It was really heartwarming.
Of course, that wonderful moment had to be spoiled by stupid, enthusiastic ex-councilors who burst out into the BP Rap. Haiz... And yes, I did cheer along.. I can't help it.. It came out before I could stop it.. It was all that brainwashing and training, I swear!!
Yeah, his fault. Bleah...
Haha, I was in top cheesy grin form. See you all in 5 years time!
