“Oh yes, wait a minute Mr. Postman… wait… Mr. Postman…..” Oh sorry, I wasn’t asking the mailman to stop; this was actually my mobile ring tone and yes I’m kind of “old” in the sense that I like oldies…
“Hey… What are you girls doing? Ready?” it was G calling from the lobby of our hotel, Park Royal where the reunion dinner was held.
“We are almost ready… Give us a few more minutes” I replied. After putting down the phone, Iv, my room-mate and I scampered to give a finishing touch to our make up and tra-da… we are ready!!!
On our way down, we knocked a few times on the door of room 741, occupied by KK, just a few doors away from our 745 room… “I AM BATHING… WILL JOIN YOU ALL LATER…” KK shouted from within. Oh!!! I thought normally girls will take longer time to get ready, but this time round, the roles were reversed, KK was still getting ready. Hmmm…. Oh.. ya.. Just remembered, he needed about 3 hours to comb his hair in order to have the “Hawaii Five-O” or the "Terminator" effect, to which the rest of the guys like G, Boston and Kok were ooing and ahying for… Guys also can be jealous one, you know…
Further down the corridor, we met Kok and his 5-year old “mould”, his son who looks exactly like him, hence his “mould”. We were trying very hard to convince his son that we are “姊姊” (che che, translation = just a bit older than him) and not aunty. And I tell you, his son is such an adorable boy because he really called us “姊姊”, good boy!!! Well done…Kok, you have thought your son very well!!!
Walking towards the hotel lounge, we could see from far, a guy dengan gayanya yang bermutu dan berkeunggulan sitting on the sofa. And as we stole another glance at this guy, we realized that it was actually G, looking very smart in his white shirt and black pants. (Ahem…!!! G was the Organizing Chairman of this reunion, so I need to “angkat” him bit bit. But bit bit only nia, many many no… Cos he memang ada gaya ma… but please don’t reveal this to him, ok? Shhhhhhh…..!)
After that, the 3 of us walked together to Tamarind Brasserie, where the actions were all going to be that night. As the waitress directed us to the table, we could see Motor Keong sitting comfortably there with his wife and son and WAIT!!!! Boston had staged a mutiny and “rampas” the “Chairman” seat that was rightfully G’s. @#%&^*^#!!! Please excuse my language… This Boston huh, really Form 3 mia student la... Everybody wear sui sui and ean tao ean tao (translation = beautipu and hensome), he only wear his form 3 black Adidas T-shirt and Bermuda pants!!! 真是成何體統呢??? 哎!!! He as a committee member of this reunion, sekurang-kurangnya, wear la tuxedo! The situation worsen as Kok strolled in, haiya… ini semua Form 3 mia students betul betul tak tau apa itu dress code, mesti hantar dia orang pergi grooming course! Sama dengan Boston, itu Kok juga pakai Bermuda pants and a cotton shirt, and worst, dia jugak pakai itu sandals, alamak… Oi!!! You two huh, kita susah susah tempah hotel 5 bintang, bayar mahal mahal, nak gaya gaya mia reunion dinner, lu dua orang pulak pakai macam ini… Haiyo… ah mama, ai yo yo… itu “ni ah sing mah yi re care” la… (Translation from Tamil = You don’t look nice, I hope I got it right!).
Tak apa la… maaf saja mereka la… Itu dua memang sudah macam ni sejak “10” tahun yang lalu. 江山易改,本性難移!
Next to arrive was KK, after hours of combing and styling his hair, finally he made it. Then came L Choo and Chun, all 11 of us and the dinner began….
Mid way through dinner, I was thinking of filing a serious complaint with the Management of
Park Royal. You see, each time I took some salmon sashimi, they tend to go missing every time I turned around. Park Royal, being a 5-star hotel should not have any rodent especially in its restaurants, but in my case, this rodent was very rampant. So, I decided to trap this rodent by pretending to go to the buffet table to get some food but at the same time kept my eyes on my sashimi. Finally, I managed to catch the big, I meant REALLY BIG RODENT by the name of BOSTON!!! That fellow was so lazy to go to the buffet table that he resorted to stealing from me!!! Id%oT!
Even though the food was just so so considering the price we paid for it but the fellowship that we had with each other on that night was priceless. Friends that we have not met for the past 10 years, so much to say and yet so little time. After we finished the main course, we moved outside to the pavilion to continue with our fellowshipping. G was brilliant to bring along his guitar as one by one, we started to sing especially songs from our era like 哭沙, 恰似你的溫柔, 童年, 新不了情, 月亮代表我的心, and lots of others which I do not know. You see, my China not good, so China songs also suffered. It was so nice of Motor Keong to order 2 bottles of wine to belanja us… but unfortunately alcohol and I do not go hand in hand. If I drink it, I would have to search for G to 救命…
At about midnight, Boston aka Snow White, had to go home to get his beauty sleep or else his baju would turned into rags and his ride would become pumpkins and rats. No.. la… Boston’s stomach began to act up and so he had to abandon us and left early. See!!! I should have complained to the Management of Park Royal !!! After our friends left us one by one, there were only 4 of us left and we proceeded to the beach and had moonlight chat… G was still playing his guitar and we continue to sing under the moonlight. Romantic??? Too bad they were not our spouses. And our dear KK commented that both Iv and I looked younger than our real age. He said we looked 21… which made Iv and I rocketed to cloud 9… only to plummet to below the ground when he continued his sentence with “under the moonlight” Halo, En. KK, whether under or above the moonlight, we still look young!!! OK??? Get that?!
Time and tide wait for no man… Even though it was such an enjoyable night, being under the moonlight, being with our dear friends, enjoying the cool sea breeze, singing and reminiscing the good old school days and having the school girl/boy type of feelings again but every thing good must come to an end… and so we bid each other good night and went on our separate ways…relunctantly… and that ended our reunion dinner….
Last episode coming soon……
