Memories

The location of our hideout has changed - it moved eastwards to Jane's place; but some things never change - like the people who turn up. It's still the same bunch of us - crazy, wacky and out to have fun.

Even the things we do rarely vary. We usually congregate around food, drinks, tv and games. In fact, we tend to eat so much that I usually prepare myself for the big pigout by 'fasting' beforehand so I won't overload the calories and wake up the next morning with a double chin!! But I must say that tonight, we've done a whole lot of stuff that will take us through another 6 months before we meet up again.

As always, there are drinking games - the forfeit entails drinking a shot of vodka (which is a terror to me because vodka gives me the runs) - undiluted, mind you! I am really amazed at the games we come up with so that the alcohol forfeit can be imposed on as many people as possible (this is especially to Vincent's glee. He is one sadistic guy who takes pleasure in sabo-ing poor girls like Luyi and Phyllis!!).

There's that finger game that tests your reflexes, the 'poot' goggles game which had poor Phyllis sandwiched between Vincent and Soon Kok (my favourite game of them all cos it's so fun watching people getting confused with the 'poots') and the infamous Zhong Ji Mi Ma.

There was pool - played right there in the living room; having an early Yu Sheng for CNY; and being kids once again playing with coloured sparklers. But the highlight of the evening was when Teng Yong showed us this video clip he created from the photos and videos of our many class events and gatherings. It was so melodramatic with the Kenny G background music and the opening black and white class picture we took in TJ, it felt as if we were 60 year old people looking back on our younger days. Jokes aside, it was a really sweet gesture and there was nothing more significant this evening than reminiscing our JC days together.

The 'aftertaste' was bittersweet for me. Warmed by the affection and closeness we have with each other even 3 years after graduation but at the same time peeved because of knowing that some of my very good friends are leaving for NZ and Down Under very soon.

But I'm hopeful. We made it past these 3 years, we will continue to keep this going in the months and years to come!

Like the good old days...

Some last words to my dear friends...

To darling Gracey: BIG BIG thank you for being such a wonderful friend and companion! And so so nice to always give us a lift home after the late night gatherings. I will be spending Valentine's with you again this year! At Changi Airport =(

To Liren: I know you'll be reading this! You are one of my faithful readers who simply refuses to tag me on my tagboard! (haha no escape for you now. you better leave me a nice msg on my tagboard *grin*) You've been a great, great friend and I will miss talking and complaining to you about my sucky uni life... I'll see you on MSN when you get to UWA k... and when you come back we will wash test-tubes together. How endearing...

To Mingde: Study hard, Dr Teh-to-be! (okay sounds a bit awful... but fret not - in another 6 years it will just be Dr. Teh!) So next time consultation fees will be waived?? *wink* Take care dude...
