Some of us were together from Standard One to Form Three while the others were together right up to Form Five. Those of us who did Science Stream moved on to ACS after Form 3. Sitiawan Convent is a very small school. There were only two classes for each standard/form. The number of students in each class was rather small too....maybe 30 or less. So even though some of us were in different classes but we know each other pretty well.
Mimi Omar is like our 'big sis'. She has been organizing many of the get-togethers. The last I attended was last year CNY at Foo Mee Nee's home. She is great in pushing us to make time to meet. Really really appreciate her effort.
Theresa Kuan Ji Theng came with her little girl, Megan. She is the one who has blessed us with Racoon though I complained quite a lot to her that Racoon is such a mischief.
Mee Ling has a twin; Mee Fung. They were always together but now it seems Mee Fung has remained in Sitiawan while Mee Ling is in KL.
Chin Kiew is my cousin. We grew up together. I think we are less than a month apart. She is the opposite of me....totally active in sports. She was a great netballer; agile and skillful in catching and passing balls.
Lillian; still as graceful as ever. How we envy her ability to maintain her figure! She was shy girl in school but definitely a very confident woman now.
Wendy/Choo Ming....her home was the home which I frequented the most as a teen. After school, before MYF, after MYF....it was always the meeting point for lots of things. Most hospitable and still is today. She is another soul who is great in getting us together.
Annie/Ming Choo...my good buddy especially in Form Six. She loves to sing and hum and we would sit in our corner to sing together. Her voice is higher than mine, we try to blend our voices with variation. Discovered she makes lovely cards to sell.
Lai Hua...she was a tomboy in school together with Julie and Siow Ling. They would wear lose pinafore and had the rough kind of walk. She is now a proud mum of two boys. She is still her mischievous self. Her 'tomboy-ness' gives a really nice youngish quality in her (betrayed only when she had to put on her glasses to take photo!!!!).
Belinda/Ai Ching....used to hang out with her in Choo Ming's house. She stayed in Bintang Estate with a houseful of siblings. Ai Ching is in US today and she returned with her family for the summer hols.
Here we are....the women that we are today. It was a wonderful afternoon of catching up. We have not changed much except for a few pounds and wrinkles here and there but we are in our ... so of course such changes are inevitable.
