It was one of the rare primary school gatherings last night, and it could never be more heart-warming just to see the smile on their faces, just to immerse ourselves in the not-so-long-ago primary school days, just to chill in a restaurant and chat by the roadside, yeah the Siglap Drive. We could easily throw out the names of almost every member in the class, and not just our own class, but other classes as well. Everything is so vivid, it's as though we had lived yesterday once more.

And now, some of us have graduated and working, some of us are about to be doing that. Ee Ling will be flying to Dubai for half a year to work, and maybe meet the Prince, so that one day when we fly over to visit her, we'll be staying in a palace. That girl is so independent, so brilliant and so beautiful. I still remember the days we exchanged countless letters back in Opera days, be it locally or overseas when I went back during the holidays. We were in the same class for 6 years in Opera, and same school for 3 years in NTU. It's as though we've never parted...

And of course, Shafeeq, 6 years in Opera and 1 year in NTU. Han Seng, buddy of all times is in NTU too. So is our artist Hong Ming. Some didn't turn up due to various reasons, but they're always cherished in our hearts. Ee Ling will be flying off, not only will she fly, but soar like eagle.

And so I reached Cafe Cartel @Siglap at about 2230hr, while the rest started dinner at about 1900hr. Alright, my sincere apology, but I cabbed down ASAP right after CG. When the clock struck twelve, we sent Ms Tong home and went to look for Shafeeq. Standing near the Mama Shop, laughing and reminiscence, stepping into the days of innocence, unwilling to exit the indulgence...

0330hr... Parting makes the heart fonder...
