I attended our 20th batch reunion on December 29, 2006. It was a night to remember. People were more than a little kind and sentimental. Some still looked the same, others aged a bit and still others were a bit unrecognizable because of the bulges and some transformations due to aging and fat.

The good thing about reunions is that you get in touch with a past that may have been a turning point in your life. Others decided not to go for fear of rejection or perhaps jest from batchmates who refuse to grow up. Others have families and could not just leave because they are now residing in a different country. For others, it is a good time to boast of achievements or simply gloat on others achievements.

For me, it was a time to be reacquainted with people I grew up with. I enjoyed my high school life a lot. Maybe too much. It was truly one of the best years of my life.

I do see my close friends in high school every now and then, so the reunion was actually more for the ones I do not see often.

All in all, it was a night of reminiscing and getting in touch with oneself and the reality that indeed we have grown up but remain to be young at heart. The usual teasing and fun was still there. Old pairs were still a good story and recent updates were something to look forward to.

I am glad to have met old friends and forged new ones from old acquaintances. Indeed life is a journey and the real thrill is not getting to the destination but the daily blessings that come our way
