BUDS

Next year, it will be our 10th year anniversary! Didn't realise it until we were reminiscing on those good old days. Time really flies.

The 7 of us met almost 10 years ago when we were in JC. Joined the most gruelling CCA and we stuck through the tough times together. Adversities really bind people together and they give birth to pure, real and quality relationships. We didn't just hold on to one another in difficult times but we also shared one another's joyous moments. Isn't that true friendship? Could not have imagine JC life without them.


Missing Edith who was searching for her bridal gown (see pic below).



Without one's realization, we have been faithfully keeping up with our ritual of meeting up on festive seasons & birthdays for the last 9 years! It sure doesn't feel that long. It was only when someone mentioned that it will be our 10th year come 2010 then it hit me that we've been friends for that long a time! Incredible.

With Edith getting married end year, things appear to be all surreal to me. Another hard fact that points to us getting older already. No more the gundoo geenas...one by one growing up to be fine young gentlemen and fair ladies.
A shot of Edith trying out her 1001 gowns , which I stole from her FB's album! Of all that she's tried, I personally think this is the best. A fusion of the oriental & eastern look. The front design is has the embroidered cheongsummish feel while the back reminds me of the victorian age! Superbly chic. Very happy for my friend! May she and her hubby-to-be be ever this blissful!

We are each established in our own ways. One en route to getting a PhD, another SIA pilot, yet another an architect. Each has our own paths to take, yet all of us are still in sync in keeping this friendship alive. Deep down inside each of us, we love and truly appreciate one another. Many years down the road, I'm quite sure when we talked about our crazy days in OAC, we will still laugh as heartily as we do now.

Some memories are meant to stay forever. Likewise for The Mighty Seven.

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...

Worthy 2 Quote
