class gathering
Went for a primary school class gathering yesterday, and oh boy, was it one interesting night. Imagine meeting up with people whom you haven't seen or talked to in 7 years. All of us were linked by friendster so it was pretty easy to contact one another... this guy sunny posted a bulletin informing everyody about the class gathering and we were to meet at chinatown mrt at 5:45pm.
I had no idea where we were going or what to expect - somewhat the feeling you get when you go on your first date or some sort. And of all places in the world to my horror we went to partyworld ktv in chinatown! For those who know me well enough, chinatown would be the last place I would hang out at and I am definitely not into the "chi-na" scene. The ktv from the outside looked awfully dubious and the interior proved to be tacky and chi-na. Like some ah pei ktv lounge you would see in chinese dramas.
Oh well, the fact that I would even enter some place like that is just because it was a rare opportunity to catch up with old friends. The song choices were totally mixed up - from singing "one night in beijing" (hahaha) to jay chou, jolin, junjie fella, lee horn and to "my hump", "don't cha" , backstreet boys, westlife, boyzone, and of course, sunny's song choice - "one time" by enya. hahaha. No doubt the place was ching-chong and all but I must say it was a fun night with those guys. Only one thing though, most of my pri school friends are more of the chinese kind and it was pretty difficult to bridge the gap, like some of us were on channel 5 and the majority channel 8. Its pretty amazing to see how much we have changed over the years and some guy brought our pri sch class photo for reference - the difference was appalling man. As for the social part, it was a long time since I last exposed myself to the hokkien vulgarities flying all over plus f's here and there. Guess I am too used to the culture in church? Army will have a lot of it anyway.
We ended off the night at 11 plus after sitting in the ktv lounge for 4 hours or so. I have no idea how i managed to sit there for such a long time. Following which we all took the mrt down to the east side - except for some fella who lived in serangoon... Well, all in all, I must say that it was one memorable night class outing. But next time no more ktv!
