Catch-up with UQ friend 2019
My dear friend, Clare stopped over in Singapore for a few days. It was really nice catching up with her! We have known each other since 1991 when we were undergrads in UQ and we last met each other in Brisbane in 2012. We shall endeavour to meet up sooner than every 7 years. :P

Family Reunion
I finally met up with my brother, my sister-in-law and my nephews in Ilford, Essex after a long 11 years. The last time I saw them were back in 2005 in Greenwich! :O
It was such a joy meeting my nephews again, Yeun Yi and Yeun Song and interacting with them, especially the youngest nephew, Yeun Zhen who was born only 6 years ago. I am very happy that they are comfortable with me. :)
I had such a great time catching with everyone. :)

Seminar + Reunion
I attended a MOE Seminar on primary school education today. It is the first time I am attending it alone as I am the only one left in the original research team. It is strange but at the same time, exciting as I am standing on my own.
Besides attending the seminar for work purpose, it is also a reunion with my former colleagues from MOE HQ as well as from schools. It is really great catching up with them. :)

4P Reunion Online
I took leave today. I wanted to relax a day before my birthday on 27 October. On my birthday (tomorrow), I will have no chance to relax because I have to attend a family friend's solemnisation at 1:30pm at her husband-to-be's residence. Before that, they are serving buffet lunch. The girls would not be going so I could at least take my own sweet time to have lunch, lol. :P
Today, I was in front of my laptop almost the whole day, busy catching up with my former students of my first Form class, 4 Prudence (1998). One of them has tagged me to the class photo and the rest is history, lol. I think I gave some of them "heart attacks" when they saw me on Facebook. Hahaha. They never expected to find me on Facebook. Oi, Ms Wong, quite IT savvy, ok. Can blog, sure can Facebook. Hahaha.
Jokes aside, I am really happy and excited to have found so many of my 4P girls on Facebook and to know that they all remembered me! We have started conversations going. I realised some of the girls weren't in contact with each other and have also started adding each other onto their lists of friends. It was like a 4P reunion online. Who knows, maybe we can even have a 4P reunion in real time soon. =)
PS. I went to Isetan Scotts to collect my Clarins products in the late afternoon. The Clarins lady, Cecilia has became my friend. She treated me to a piece of Strawberry Shortcake for my birthday. Thank you for the early birthay treat!

Busy Weekend: Saturday - SCGS Reunion
Tonight was my SCGS reunion. It was held at SCGS. I did not take part in the last one as I was then flying off to Melbourne for a holiday. So for this reunion, I thought I should attend it and besides it would be interesting to see my classmates and schoolmates, and most importantly, to see my friends (some of whom I have known since primary school) after so long.
The reunion started at 6-ish pm. Some girls took up the challenge of going in our school uniform. Lol. I would have but I couldn't find my uniform. Hahaha. We, first had a little mini lesson in the history of SCGS in our Heritage Room which was made to look like a classroom of old. As SCGS girls, we do know the history but it just became a little more awe-inspiring when the history of SCGS and its unique place in Singapore's history is told to us again. I think we are all proud to be SCGS girls and to be part of such a unique school. Speeches were given by our former principal, Miss Heng and the new principal, Mrs Low, followed by dinner. During dinner, a lot of us were catching up with each other as well as with our former teachers. Every now and then, there was a scream and a shout, well mostly screams, here and there as old classmates and schoolmates recognised each other. LOL.
Some games were played such as one where two teams of girls (comprised of a representative from each of the 5 Sec 4 classes) had to answer a series of questions of events happening in our cohort. Another one was playing the zero-point. There was also a slide show comprising of our old photos, telling of our friendship, our camaraderie. The games and the slide show sure brought back LOTS of FOND memories for all of us. There were loads of cheering and laughing and chatting away the whole night.
The night finally came to an end at 9:30pm but not before we sang our school song with pride and the reunion photos of the whole group of us with our former principal and teachers were taken. Of course, there were also a lot of smaller group photos taken with different group of friends. So every now and then a flash would go off here and there. Lol. A number of us still lingered around, still trying to catch up with one another, still trying to exchange phone numbers and email addresses, still trying to hold on to this wonderful night. I finally left at 10:20pm.
I am really glad that I went to this SCGS reunion. I was reminded of the wonderful friendships and the wonderful memories I have made in SCGS. SCGS has made me the person I am today. I am proud to be a true blue SCGS girl - a Kim Gek. Most of my friends said I have not changed at all, still look the same as in secondary school. Hmm, that means I still look very young lah. Hahaha. I will take it as a compliment. Lol. It has been a truly wonderful night: meeting of former classmates, schoolmates and friends, catching up with them, talking about shared memories in SCGS, the laughing and the chatting. It has been really fun and memorable. I really enjoyed myself very much. Thank you.
Here are some photos of me taken with my Sec 2 form teacher and with my classmates. =)

Busy Weekend
This is going to be a busy weekend for my family and I.
On Saturday evening, my mother has organised a dinner party for my aunt and uncle and cousins from Kuching. She would be cooking her Chicken Rice and her Taiwanese 扣肉包 (Braised Pork Pau) for them. I will take some photos of her braised pork pau and upload the photos onto my next post.
As for me, I will be attending my SCGS school reunion, 6 - 9:30pm. Haven't seen some of my classmates for years since we graduated from SCGS. Wonder how they look now. :P
On Sunday, I might bring the girls for their Hot Air Balloon ride which we missed out the other time (which was together with the DUCK tour) because of bad weather. Must remember to charge my camera battery so that I can take loads of aerial view photos of Singapore. Lol.
In the afternoon, I have a gathering to attend. After which, I will have to rush back for another dinner party that my mother has organised. She has invited my dentist friend, Hoon and her dentist friends to dinner. Not sure what she is going to prepare for that dinner. But will take the photos. :)
