It was a weekend of reunions.

Saturday
Met up with 3 of the friends i'be known for the longest time. It all started with a cryptic sms from an unfamiliar telephone number which said "Hi, this is your long lost friend. Call me to find out who i am.". When i received that sms, the first thing that came into my mind was these two girls whom i have known since primary school and have since lost contact with (i've kept more or less in contact with the third). Anyway, apart from being primary schoolmates, we were also neighbours in the same condo estate and i still have fond memories of us 4 girls going swimming, having picnics and playing batminton together. Now, each of us have different careers (one working in HP, one working in SIM, one doctor training to be an eye specialist and of course, me) and two are getting married in 2004. It was great to finally catch up with them again and we had a nice long girly lunch at camden medical centre (no prizes for guessing who made the recommendation *grins*).

Thank you for trying to so hard to find me again. It was nice to be found, my "long lost friend". :)

Sunday
It must have been in the stars that this past weekend would be one filled with reunion. I was just walking around in Bugis with him when suddenly, out of nowhere, a girl tapped me on my shoulder as i walked passed her and called out my name. For the life of me, i couldn't quite remember her name though i knew we were in the same JC together (strangely though, i can remember my primary schoolmates names). Well, she certainly recognized me and him (we came from the same fac and the same JC) and there and then, she told us about my JC class reunion that was happening on the very evening itself! I remembered the last time i saw any of my JC classmates were before i went overseas for my Masters which was more than 5 years ago! It was another wonderful reunion with old friends and to finally what happened to each and everyone after our A levels. Several had become teachers, one is a lawyer, one in advertising, one works in Kino and one has become a mother of two daughters. Gossips were exchanged and time was spent talking about our school days. Time flies and it's nice to see everyone happy and doing well.

Now that i have re-establish contacts with these old friends, i hope to maintain it more diligently this time.
