Hall 1 Alumni Dinner Bringing back Good old Days
Either I have memory failure or it was really not worth remembering ( I think most likely it will be the previous)... I seriously cannot remember the last time I went for Hall 1 Alumni Dinner. Miao said we both went to the one just after we graduate. In some Tofu restarant... I did?
Anyway, Weiquan jio-ed for the one this year. It was on last Friday at Balcony - Heeren. Would you expect to pay only $15 for a full dinner set plus a complimentary drink there? Good deal right? Anyway, Miao and I did not think such a deal exist. So when Tongyan says that "there might be finger food" we seriously thought it was real. We ate BK before we went there and was shocked to find out about the dinner arrangement. Hahaha! Was a joke really!
Of course, we were too full for the food, but I managed to squeeze some space to sample the dory fish. It was nice... though slightly salty... The place was not too good for gatherings as i think there is a lack of interaction between the different parties. We only stayed within our group and did not really talk to the rest of the juniors. Maybe because we have left for many years, so we are not too familiar with the current organisers... haiz... old already la!
But I still had an enjoyable time catching up with my friends. Everybody is working hard in their own fields trying to earn a living and of course hopefully make it BIG! It is great just to know that there is a big group of people working alongside with you, even if they are in a different sector.
We had a fun time talking about the good old days in hall where we will not be nagged by our moms. We had the ultimate freedom to decide on what we would like to do that day, be it sports, studies or simply just chatting with out neighbours. The night is ALWAYS young... sleep would not be in everybody's agenda until about 3am daily. Those were the days... Miss them... but will treasure them deep in my mind and heart... NTU Hall 1 regardless of how it changes, it is special to me as I have spend 2 and half great years in the same room BLK 17-3-259... with the same friends... through thick and thin...
