Batch of 1988 Reunion on 01 May 2009

Hope still not too late blogging this topic.

I was invited by Low Jan Po, who I had never known him in high school, but fatefully met him in Facebook, to attend their 16th year classmate gathering.

I was very excited, and also worried that I might not know anyone there, even the organizers I don't know either. So, I quickly sent a message to Keff Chan Yee Jane, asked if she was interested, she immediately promised me to go. Then I quickly replied to Low Jan Po telling him that me and Keff would join.

When the day came, I was in 1 Utama in the afternoon watching movie there with friends, and waited for Keff to call me and told me what time she would come. I waited till around 7pm, Keff still didn't call me, but Jim Lee Kok Wai called me asking if I would go. I said I waited for Keff then went together. At around 8pm, She still didn't call me, I guessed she wouldn't come anymore, but I still called her and tried my luck. She replied me she totally forgot the gathering and she was in Puchong at that moment, so wouldn't be able to go. I was thinking fine, I still have another backup, Jim Lee. I quickly called him, told him that I was on my way there, and he said he was around that area also, would reach there very fast.

After reached the restaurant, I called Jim again, and he told me he was still echoing his songs in karaoke. I was feeling like being abandoned. I really didn't know what to do, went alone or back home. After considering for a while, I chose to make "my head harder" and went in to the restaurant.

When I stepped down from the car, I first saw Jeffery Ong(王林河) smoking outside alone, so I immediately joined him and pretended to know him very well (haha, luckily always check FB for everybody's latest news). In fact, I only same class with him in the 1st year in Chong Hwa, after that, I kept dropping to the worse classes.

After socialized with Jeffery Ong, I had much confidence to walk in to the restaurant. I saw Mooi Ying(美茔), Rachael Yu(佩玲), Tin Nee(珍坭) sitting at the 1st table of my walk in direction. And I thought these people were the most familiar faces that I met since high school. So, I sat down there and chatted with them.

After a while, I was looking around and hoping that there were some other familiar faces I knew, and out of my expectation I saw Lee Kiaw Wan, my classmate in 2nd year and college mate. The reason I spotted him was because there was a reflection into my eyes, which from the gold ring of his "no name" finger. Ha ha, he has registered, finally became someone's husband. Very happy for him, and of course his wife, the ultimate life partner.

Overall, the gathering gave me a very happy moment, which I could meet the old friends for not seen in 16 years. Before ended this blog, 1 person I really like to talk about and also thank him a lot. One of the organizer, Low Jan Po. Although I only knew him that night, I really think that he is a great and friendly person.

Very looking forward for next year gathering, especially the organizers are the 2 friends I'm familiar with, Kiaw Wan and Tin Nee. I believe they will be a very good organizers, since both of them are the key persons of their inherited business.
