916 Reunion

My high school friends have changed but my feelings towards them have not. Every time I meet up with them they remind me of the crazy high school days, the loving days of small presents, writing notes, exchanging diaries.

The innocent days when getting into university was our only worry. It was a simple life, narrow maybe but very enjoyable because my high school friends always mangaged to come up with stupid excuses to do silly things.

I remember one time our class went outside to have a picnic and held an award ceremony for random things like, "the most talkative person", "the most helpful person", and so on. Our high school tutor Ms. Chen would join in our celebrations, even though she looked serious, but she had a very warm heart.

I still remember on the day I graduated she gave me a present, saying "I think you will find this useful in university," I thought it would be a pen or something, but when I unwrapped it, inside was a lipstick! I think that was the first lipstick given to me. I felt very touched at her consideration, and impressed that she gave such a 'mature' present.

We sang at a KTV for our reunion that day, and it felt exactly like the day after exams when we would go out and think of something fun to do. Every body has grown, most people are working, some happily, others not so satisfied, but all of us are moving on in our lifes. Towards what none of us are sure yet, but it's nice to know that there is a group of people growing and learning with you, even when they are not always around.

I must talk about Star, because she is currently very satisfied with her job and her love life is beautiful too. She is shinning more and more and I feel proud of her. She works in a advertising company and comes up with ideas and words. I think this is definetly 'the' job for her, she has always been apt at wording and artsy things. I miss her creativity and sparkles, but just like she learnt to let me fly, I too must learn to let her fly and blossom into a brilliant Star:)

So many smart women in my class and all moving ahead. It's been 8 years and I look forward to many many more years of high school reunions:)
