Meeting up with OLD Friends

The recent weeks have been like riding on a roller coaster... with so many meetings going on... indeed, it's been quite scary... though was used to having meetings almost everyday while in the 3 years in HQ, well, what I'm going through now is really exceedingly far much more than what I had... anyway, feel like I'm always on the way to set some 'record"! hahaha...

As mentioned in one of the previous postings... this year had not really catch up with friends, especially during this recent Teachers' Day... Kind of tiring - hm... physically and mentally... on the other hand, blessing in disguise (or what), had opportunities to meet up with them either when I went for briefings or 'shopping'! hahaha....

For intstance, recently met SCK. Yes, quite a while already not met - think the last time was at Rosleenda's house (Hari Raya visit - was that last year?), also QLL. Well, good to know that the school is leveraging on SCK's forte - setting up the structure and managing information. On the other hand, unfortunately, she has lost her voice... and it's really a challenge when in this teaching profession! Really hope that the problem could heal...

On the same day, bump into WSS while waiting for WYWY in Borders! He looked good - at least without the 'coat' of 'fatigue' which I recalled when we were colleagues in HQ. Yes, those were the days when others jokingly said the address in his NRIC was North Buona Vista! hahaha... Of course, apart from updating some of the recent works carried out, we also talked about KB (from UK). He was just like an old friend... of course, when KB comes, it's time for another outing :D

WYWY aka TYL... another good old friend, who surprising being available though my sms was a very last minute one. Well, a great dinner at Borders' Bristo... pretty good dinner! and good time talking about what we were doing and what's her next steps... oh yes, also discussed about the next coming trip (which I hope the planning could eventually materialise!)

Today's another day of good catch-up with friends - annual gathering at Zubaidah's place... who's there? Ms Ng, Muneira, Mrs Teh, Chin Li, Karen and Ms Tan KX. Fellow old-timers were still so animated... that reminded me of the noise in the old NAS HOD Room! Yes, I missed those days - though didn't participate to much in their (cluster's) conversation, however, that's the environment - the feel and sound I missed. Anyway, things in the physical set-up has changed...

The day ended with a good treat from LCN. Well, to be precised, should be LCN's sister! Good food plus nice environment. We were at the 70th storey in the Swissotel. Of course, what else and who else would be in our conversation? :D

Cheers!
