A Glimpse of the Reunion
Well, I was really surprised when I saw Jaclyn and the rest appearing at the shop in Plaza Singapura. The most unexpected surprise was that Timothy was with them too. Yeah, he's back in Singapore and will be staying for good. He stopped his studies in Australia for some reasons. I had long heard about his return from his sister-in-law but I thought he returned for vacation. Welcome back
twin brother. ^^
Another surprise hit me consecutively for 2 days. Yesterday, I got a message from Zongjian which I wasn't around. I always thought he forgot about me and he doesn't reply my emails I sent from Friendster. Today, before I left for work, I got a message from Jeng. He said he saw Edmund at his workplace. Both of them are working as remisiers. I was really thrilled upon hearing it from Jeng and I almost cried. Edmund was sort of a reason the gang existed.
Back in primary school, I believed most would been through this. UNO, chinese chess and zero-pointer. UNO was a popular card game back then. Chinese chess was for the gifted-in-mind individuals. Girls were crazy over zero-pointer and guys don't lose out either. But Edmund was very creative. Remember the erasers that have country flags printed on them? He would design games using those erasers and implement tactics and techniques. Like the angles the erasers will create when stacked on top of each other would represent a certain move. And there were even calculation of damage and we will always have pen and paper to take note of our stats. It is quite alike to the modern trading card games.
The special thing about him is that he gave us nicknames. Everyone has his/her nick related to his/her name or his/her special trait. Like Chee Wing as Chicken Wing, Yisheng as Boss, Jian Qi as Jeng Jeng the Junk, Ming Yao as Father and me as.....Mother. LOL. Up to now, I don't know the reason for my nick. But he would always go calling me Mommy.
Geezz... Thanks to him, the bond between the gang was specially strong.
Edmund is gathering us for an outing next Wednesday. Maybe we should plan for a reunion somehow. : )
