Recently met up with another old classmate, Gooi Bee Peng, who came up from KL. After attending a relative's wedding dinner, she suggested we celebrate our 60th birthday together. So there we were, at Haagen Dazs in Queensbay Mall the following day for the cake cutting.The 3 of us, Gooi Bee Peng, Wong Ong Lee and myself were very very good and close friends. We studied in the same class from Standard 1 right up to Form 5. A good 11 years together!! However, we parted after leaving school to realize our separate careers. We did not contact each other until recently when we met up again.
In those days, our favourite hobby was taking photographs. Every year usually after Chinese New Year, we would wear our new clothes, set out hair and then trooped to a nearly studio to have out photographs taken. So vain!! hahaha....
This was the last photograph we took together in the studio. The year was 1968.
This is our latest photograph which was taken on 10July 2011. 43 years later!! Not bad, huh? We have aged gracefully!! hahaha....Do these photographs look familiar to you, guys? Actually Ong Lee posted them on facebook last week. I just elaborate on it.
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGod Has led us in different routes but we are still friends.
Can't wait till we meet up again in 2012, hopefully. I was blessed seeing your photo. You all look great!
Yes, we'll certainly meet up again next year.
ReplyDeleteA well written account of our get together. Our time spent in Gurney Drive on Sunday (10/7/2011) and Queensbay Mall on Monday (11/7/2011) was fun and hilarious as we walked down memory lane. We will definitely do it again next year.
