We had a blast the last time round, meeting up with our secondary school clique. Back in the day, the boys were known as "The V-Boys" (till today we do not know what that stands for) and the 4 girls called themselves "Aces" (because there were only 4 Aces in a deck of cards). Technically, we were kind of elite and we ruled the school without breaking any rules. That is why till this day, we still reminisce of those days. How not to when we actually had our own club house within the school that the rest of the school did not know about?
And this post-CNY gathering was ultra special because it is the probably the first time ever we manage to get everyone together.
Our gracious host Murugesh (right) welcomes the guest as they begin to stroll in.
We ruled... 3 decades ago!
On the occasional weekends when we would organize private home parties (no booze coz we were only 16), and I would pursue my dream of becoming a DJ. We found all kinds of reasons just to throw one... be it the end of the exams or someone's birthday. We took a photo back then and we decided that since almost all of us turned up today, we recreated it. A few people are missing because they were either "associate members" or really gone missing.
Not to be outdone, the girls did their own recreation. What is so cool about them was that despite being the group that the juniors wanted to emulate, they were actually academic achievers and did absolutely no rule breaking. Heck, one of them was even a school prefect... with dyed hair. Now go figure how the hell she got away with that?
And because we are a racially balance clique, our malay buddy Radin brought Yu-Sheng (鱼生). Now try to wrap your head around that? Many years on, and we are still mavericks that do not really play by the mainstream rules.
And quite honestly, nothing quite beats having a hearty meal, drinks and a good catch-up conversation amongst best buddies that once shared your formative years. It is still one of the few things that I look forward to...
And the host has his selfie-moment while the rest of us were soaking in the warmth of old bonds.
And because we always do things that no one expects...
And what's a gathering of long time friends without the music we grew up with? I do not DJ nowadays... I leave that to my iPod. Thank God for technological advances! Ha ha ha! But it is kind of cool to know that my peers all think it was awesome that i actually followed my passion and actually made a living out of it. Till the next one in August... HUAT AH!
