It was time to meet up old friends, share a joke or two and eat lasagna during all that. It was the WKWSCI 15th Anniversary Dinner last Friday at the Oriental Hotel, which had maxed its capacity. Apparently the response was overwhelming (why?- apart from the fact that we feel a bonding to the School, and we want to contribute to its enduring growth, vitality and dynamism, dinner happened to be free). Selena Tan made a Dim Sum Dolly appearance, belting out 3 songs in between her stand-up act. Not her best, but funny lah.
It was good to see old friends who had "evolved" in their careers and fashion sense. Some were hell-bent on taking photographs - the high point of the night was that our table managed to get all our year alumni into one spot to take a huge photo.
Some were still reeling from shock that I was married, while others dismayed that I didn't tell them about it. I'm happy that they like to be in the loop of things that happen to me. But how lah - sometimes things happen so fast, and it's tough to update all friends.
And another thing: it's not advisable to take a taxi to go to the heart of Bras Basah or Raffles City or anywhere near there on Friday (and perhaps weekend) nights - they're constructing some damn thing near Suntec City right in the middle of the bloody road, creating a bottle neck and a jam that begins from Waterloo street. It took me 45 mins to get to a place in a taxi which would have taken 20 mins by walking!! Sheesh.
