About gatherings and us

This week saw me meeting up with the people I loved for some farewell lunches, dinners, etc. And seriously, I will definitely miss their presences... =(

And such gatherings always makes me feel so old. Haha...

I'm actually amazed by how the topics we chatted about today is so different from what it used to be many many years ago. Long long time ago, all of us were worrying about O levels, thinking that's the most important thing in the world. Then we started to ponder, pondering about what course we should take in polytechnic or which junior college to go to... Then about six to eight years back, we started to mug hard together so that we can have grades that were good enough for us to make it into a good university together (after our grades fall tremendously for joining camps). Eventually, most of us didn't get into the same university, but we had and shared our army greens and university blues....

Yet in the blink of an eye, the girls had graduated and the boys were "officially men"... Our topic then changed to careers and love. And then soon after, we, these bunch of bankers, army officers, lab officers, researchers started to talk about marriage. And now, some of us are father, mother or parent-soon-to-be.

It's amazing isn't it? Looking at the things we had went through together, and the things we are going through together now. I thank you peeps for sharing your lives with me. Like what Sam said yesterday, " Few years later, we will have our gathering in IKEA, so that the kids can play the play ground there". You know it's so funny and yet so scary to learnt that we are already grown ups. =)

And growing up is no fun. =)
