This was the Senior (Citizens) Prom for RI Class of 71/73.
Almost 100 of us gathered together at NUSS, Suntec to celebrate us surviving since we left school in 71 (O Levels) and 73 (A Levels). That's like 32-34 years ago that we shared classrooms. Above is the 'Arts' classes representatives and you will noticed that we had the most girls in our classes compared to the nerdy science and medicine classes. We were also known to be the most fun stream.
The night was spent recollecting our fun times - parties, pranks on teachers and fellow students, the nick names that we gave teachers and each other. Those were such care free days of pure fun mixed with some academic pursuits. Most of us turn out quite fine despite our (non) interest in classes.
So good to catch up with 'old' school mates. Some that we still see around the golf clubs!
So good that Connie is retired and we can just take impromptu trips.
Knowing that our wings will be clipped in 2016, Connie and I decided to take a quick break to HK/ZS for golf, food and shopping!
Wilson and Selina hosted us at Agile Golf Club, ZhongShan where they are members. They also brought us around ZS to try all the different food. Worthy of mention is Shi Qi with the roasted pigeon and open kitchen concept. One can see the chefs preparing and cooking the food right in the front. Many unique dishes to try.
Then back to HK for more food (roast goose at Ren Ren Heping) and many other HK specialities like egg tart, clay pot rice, dim sum, ... Connie also went shopping with Selina for herbs, nuts and waxed duck leg. etc
We took a quick trip to Shenzhen for a spa day as well. An experience not to be missed to be pampered at a reasonable cost.
Met up with CP Tsui for a round of golf and catching up on ECS. Sad to hear that Roger had a stroke and Nolan had to migrate to Australia as his son was not behaving there. Business partners that have become friends. I am so thankful that many of the people I worked with have become friends even though we longer work together.
The trip made us thankful for friends (who showed us ZS and HK), for health (to enjoy all the lovely cholesterol loaded food) and energy to golf and shop.
Life is great ...
