When Old Friends Gather

January 21, 2006 Leave a comment


Chinese New Year Reunion comes 1 week earlier. Thanks to Pearlyn (the organiser who overslept), she rounded up some of my good friends at DCS to gather at Caffeine.
 
I am touched by the big turn-out. There are a total of 14 of us (Mr Goh, Frankie, Bettina, Jasbir, Yanling, Siow Wei, Scott, Juliana, Hovman, Thong Joo, Pearlyn, Joe, Kalinda and MC – not to mention our partners Felicia, Elkan, Duuk and Ernie.)
 
We have been working apart for the past 2 years but everyone warmed up really fast. Soon, we are forming in mini cliques, catching with one another – in that true spirit of Chinese Reunion Festive. There is no fancy buffet or pot-luck – Just a couple bottles of soft drinks and curry puffs from Katong. (Frankie is so nice that he brought us XO… Haaa…but how to get Jasbir or Siow Wei drunk in the afternoon??)
 
Still it is really good to meet up with these old friends. We have been working together under 1 roof for more than 3-4 years. Somehow, that bond that unite us yesterday is still very much the same today; if not stronger. Like old friends, we came, chatted, laughed and departed with warm greetings. There is no business agenda, no personal networking in mind. Simply just pure friends catching up.
 
I am beginning to feel that "festive mood" of Chinese New Year. Really hope to catch up with them soon. Let’s plan a bigger one next round.. (hope the organiser dun oversleep again…)
