The prelude to the reunion was unusually stressful. So many things didn't go as planned. But, as with all days that start of on the wrong foot, the reunion ended up to be a blast!
We almost forgot how hot the basketball court was!
The reunion wasn't that much of a reunion. The only people I knew who came were from our English debating team. Nonetheless, the school was packed with Old Girls from other batches - and it was overwhelming to see how many lives the school created and how well its alumni reciprocated.
Arnie and Belina
Roaming about the school was an emotional walk through some of the most amazing experiences of our lives. Somehow, the Rumah Besar where Belina and I used to play the violin didn't seem as big, and the Hall where we all had our exams wasn't so formidable. One thing hadn't changed, the Dewan Makan still smelled of cooking oil, and we had this sudden urge of looking for afternoon tea!
Some things never change: Arnie up to mischief with Shakil, Nonie's son
While we all had similar beginnings, we've branched out quite differently from each other. Arnie is a famous star now (newscaster for NTV7), Nonie's a hot shot banker, Arlyz is a lawyer (though she claims she can't help us if we get arrested, just if we went bankrupt!) and Belina reorganises companies. But walking around and spending the afternoon together proved one thing, some things really never change - I went home that evening with a sore throat from all the shrieking and laughing!
