Farrer Gathering 6 - Swenson's @ Marina Square

On 28 Nov, there was another Farrer gathering. This time round, almost half of the members were newbies...

1) Aaron - This guy only joined Farrer in Primary 6. He was transferred from another primary school to Farrer. And in Primary 6, he did not pass his PSLE and got to repeat another year. He was the only guy who has been in contact with Addy since school days up till now.

2) Addy - Though he was only same class with me in Primary 4, but he left a very deep impression on me, because he was quite a rebellious boy in his school days and I used to pity his old father who had to come to school often to see the teacher and keep an eye on him...Addy informed that his dad passed away when he was in Primary 6... I wasn't aware of that cos' in Primary 6, we were in different class. For the past 1.5 years, he has been working in Shanghai, and just last 2 weeks ago, he quitted the job and returned to our homeland. Now still sourcing for a job and is still staying in 420 Bt Batok.

3) Kunlong - I could hardly remember him being in same class as me, but maybe in Primary 5, we did. He now owns 3 boutiques called Collage.

4) Kartini - She was a prefect and a hardworking girl in school. In our batch, only 2 girls went St Margarets; she and Wanqing. During the gathering, she recounted an incident which she felt guilty about in our Primary 5. It was during a 2nd Languague test/exam paper, when she spotted a group of her classmates passing erasers around, she reported to the teacher. After she raised that incident, everyone had a good laugh, cos' I was among one of those who was caught in the cheating act, and we were helping Frankie with the answers for his Chinese papers... hahaha
In the gathering, she also mentioned about how Mrs Chia has greatly influenced her to become a teacher, and now here she is, a Malay teacher in West Grove Primary School.

5) Noorshaldiana - She has turned up for 3 gatherings, and I don't ever remember spoken much to her during school days, cos' she was the tallest girl in our classs, and I was the shortest... hence, we hardly mix with each other...but in these recent meet-ups, we sort of like closen our gaps, and clicked very well. I find her very friendly and sociable.

6) James - Our 6th gatherings together now. I could remember him well as a classmate of mine, but don't remember much that we clicked a lot in school days. Cos' he was staying in Leedon Heights then and he was always together with Frankie and those staying in the blocks near our school. He is a nice and helpful guy, and his fiancee, Evonne, is very friendly too. They are both tying their knot next month and holding their wedding banquet on 8 March 2009 at the Meritus Mandarin.


This gathering was great.. more to come in the next months....
