Old Friends

Last Saturday, 28 Dec 2013, I received a WhatsApp message, and was put into a group chat.
Group name was "Temasek '86".

Wow! My Secondary School friends.

Then in the group, I see familiar names.
Ah Kok, Ah Lew, Siew Mei, Anggeh, Chee Kiong, and some other unfamiliar phone numbers and blahblahblah.

Apparently, the 带头大姐 is none other than the class monitress itself. She had created the group on the previous day, and started trying to link up all her classmates for a gathering.
Cool isn't it.

Only thing is, I was not from that class. These people were in Class 4/2, while I was in Class 4/3.
However, I was like the 插班生 that keeps 插-ing into their class' activities.

The thing is, she wanted to gather all the people by 31 Dec 2013.
Alamak! Although nowadays technology very advanced, but to find all the people within 4-5 days, it is still a very tall feat. It was like some 26 years ago since some of them were last met.

Anyway, being a kay-poh person, I tried to give some contacts which I still have with me to her. That was the least that I can do.

Actually, I think the result has been pretty good.
About half of the 44 students in class were found and linked up.
I think this is the power of internet at play as well, although some of us are still in contact once in a while.
The brotherhood and sisterhood will always be there.

They want to have a gathering around CNY period.
Which is good, as I know there are 2 idiots come back to Singapore around that time.
One from Abu Dhabi and another from US. Hahahaha.

How would it turn out?
Hmmmm. Shall see.

Cheers!
Kow!
