ok... it wasnt really a reunion... only 6 of us turn up.... (7 if plus Quek's girlfriend) Yesterday night, Wai Seng decided to get all the S9 students who are still around the area to meet up. As a result, me, Wai Seng, Meng Tat, Quek, Darren and Shen Ying met up for dinner at Mid Valley...
The main reason why so little people turned up is because most of our beloved classmates are now studying overseas... Australia la, US la, UK la.... the remaining ones were just the 6 of us plus Andy and Ling Ying who both couldn't make due to exam and classes... (Good Luck guys, hope 2 of you can do well.. unlike me =D)
The guys I've seen quite often di la.. but I was really happy being able to see Shen Yin after such a long time. Our Miss Piggy of S9 has just graduated and is now an engineer in a Multi-National Company with a reasonably nice starting pay liow....
It's really scary how fast time passes... its been about 3 years since we left Taylors... those studying in UK courses are all getting ready to graduate and start work liow... and pretty soon the rest of us will too. hehe... dunno whether we will still be able to meet up when we're busy working... hopefully boleh..

On to a different topic.... when Darren was fetching me, we were talking about our results and studies in Singapore Uni.. and really... I think 3 of us(including Meng Tat) regretted chosing NUS/NTU as our choices for our studies... 3 of us, were among the top in our class but while the rest are having the greatest of times in their Uni's and are still doing well, we are here in Singapore struggling just to graduate....
Look at Shen Yin.... graduated in lest than 3 years... and WITH HONOURS... most probably 2nd lower or higher... employed even before her final results are out... me and Darren?? A degree with honours is starting to look like it's just a dream... graduate di... dunno can get a job as an engineer or not.... AND we're still stuck for another 2 years in Uni...
Would we have enjoyed our lifes more if we stayed here in Monash/Taylors/Nottingham?
Would our results be much better then what it currently is now?
Sigh... guess we'll never know....
ps: I'm only regretting on the studies and career perspective. I have no regrets on meeting the people in that are so dear to me in NUS, you guys know who you are. Thanks for making my life over there bearable... I would have quit long time ago if it wasn't for all of you.
