Reunion.

I went to my primary school classmates’ reunion gathering on Wednesday and it has to be said, that day has to be the best day of my year so far. It was great for me to be able to see all those friends of yesteryears – some of whom I have not seen for almost 18 years – and the best thing was everyone was so happy to see one another that there didn’t seem to have any need to do any ice-breaking. We had some very good chats about the times we spent together in school, the funny things that we did, etc etc, and it was a really great night. Even though everyone’s lives after leaving primary school was all very different, but I just think that on that evening, there was really nothing different between now and then – everyone was enjoying himself or herself as we would as primary school kids.

It’s quite fair to say that even though I have only spent 2 years of my lives studying with them, those 2 years were the best years of my life after the 4 and a half in NUS. I have never forgotten the friends I made then, and I just hope that this friendship will stay for as long as we all live. Even though sometimes I do wonder how our friendships would be like if I have never left for Singapore, but seeing how we enjoy our friendships now, it really doesn’t matter. The only thing that I would regret, if at all, was that I didn’t take enough pictures with them when I was younger!

20 years of friendship can’t be wrong.
