6.7 '09 Gathering @ East Coast Park


Left to Right : Yuxuan, Yuyong, Yong Le, Kenneth, Aravind, Ian, Hannah, Jia Yi, Shu Xuan, Hui Ee, Colene, Lydia, Benjamin, Zane, Chen Keat and Ramon.





It all started with an SMS from Hannah earlier this week, suggesting a gathering @ East Coast Park, after the National Day celebration, on Friday.

Then it all just happened. All made possible by the 100 over SMSes which Hannah said claimed to have sent out. (",)

I was expecting 9, but was pleasantly surprised to see 16. =D

I ran into Ms Suzanah at Northpoint while I was having my lunch at around 12noon. She told me that Ramon, Hannah and Lydia were already waiting for me in school, though our meeting time was at 1.30pm! =O

Yuxuan has returned from Shanghai for his summer break, and appears to have lost a lot of weight. Not as round as I used to remember. ("!)

Hannah, Hui Ee, Chen Keat and Shu Xuan still look quite the same, probably because we had lunch together just not too long ago. I am glad they did not disappear after that gathering. It's still nice to see them around. =)

Shu Xuan brought her cousin, Colene, along too. They do bear some forms of resemblance. Colene lives in Holland and is here on vacation. She speaks Dutch. Anyone wants to learn a third language? (".)

Yong Le, Ian, Aravind and Kenneth are visibly taller now. They are still close friends though they have been seperated for more than seven months. I hope they can remain so for many years to come. (",)

The previous time when I saw Jia Yi was back in Feb, during the CNY celebration. Now I wonder why she didn't join us for lunch in June. She's still that petite little gal with her usual cheerful grin. =D

Mrs Azhar once said Benjamin looked like me. I find Benjamin cute and lovable. Hence, I wonder if this is what Mrs Azhar was trying to imply. *shy* (".)

Yuyong was the last to arrive. In fact, late. The first thing he said to me when I called his hp was, "1 min". He showed up in 58 secs. He's taller now, with braces. He still looks irritating, fyi. He offered to have himself buried "alive" at the beach, as compensation (see photos). ("o)

I felt really at ease with u guys. We eat, we drink, we talk, we laugh, we cycle. I had fun that day, and hope u did too. Now I look forward to the next gathering. (",)
