20-year high School Reunion

Recently, I met Ahtiong73 and a former secondary school classmate. Whaddaya know? It turned out to be our 20-year High School Reunion!

It all started out as dinner at Carl's Junior. It was my second meal there. First time I had it, I thought the food was great, even with the high price. But that night, the patty shrank and the burger was served room temperature. Hmmm, how fast the standard has dropped. Somehow, we started reminiscing about the bad old days... we didn't all enjoy high school.

While updating one another about ourselves and anyone remotely related to us, Ah Tiong wondered out loud why we never had a High School Reunion, or whether there was one and he wasn't invited. We assured him there was never one, well, or us 3 were never invited to one.

However, I concurred that even if there was one, I would have asked them if they were going, basing my decision very much on theirs; which in the end would just be an outing within our group. Further bantering revealed that that night, we would celebrate 20years since entering high school!

It's freaky, real scary to know that we are that old. But that night, I felt like the short, chubby schoolboy with a big crush on a classmate, and later meeting Ah Tiong on the basketball court for the first time.

It's good to know that 20 years on, we're still sharing the same dinner table. Thankfully, some things don't change.
