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...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

Universal Studio

Thanks to YOG I got to enter Universal Studios @ Resorts World Sentosa ytd for free! Yes...rides were free and I had a $10 food & beverage voucher. Ok....sometimes I'm grateful that I'm a teacher because we are really one of the few professions who will enjoy such privileges :) Introducing the bevy of gorgeous ladies of Pei Hwa Sec : Miss Grace Tan, Miss Sophia Tan, Miss Shirley Tan and Miss Roslinda ! Don't you love the donkey ears???!!! WE WERE SERIOUSLY AMUSING OURSELVES IN THE SOUVENIR SHOP! Alright...this is the first but not my last time visiting U.S.S because I'll be going there again in Nov for my dept's learning journey. Don't ask me how we are going to think up PE lessons from visiting the theme park but miracles do happen! So after loosening the leash around the 51 kids whom we accompanied yesterday evening, the 6 female teachers (where are all the men??? tsk tsk...) went about to have a wild time of feasting on 20" pizzas, running after cart...
