This is a post that I dedicate to my old-schoolmates~
Normally, we will have “grand” gathering among my secondary school friends during Chinese New Year. Most of us have the common holiday during this festive season, unless some of them choose not to come back (such as WB Lim).
As usual, we would have a makan-makan session during Chinese New Year, and this is where our gathering takes place. I was the appointed/ kepoh one to arrange this gathering for the passed few years. To me, the easiest way is to prepare steamboat dinner. I can simply order plenty of fishball from my sister. Most of the fishball were expensive (>RM10/ pack) but it is delicious. Then, I will collect money from those who present. This time, I charged them RM20/ pax, and couple get 20% discount (New Idea). Initially, the budget was RM15, but to be save, I’ve collected RM5 extra from them~! HAHA! I believed they knew I’ve overcharged, but it is New Year right? Price gone up! Okay?
There is RM70++ extra I from the money I collected from them. It is not easy to return the balance to them, because the amount is not much after divided to each person. So, we (MauWei and I) decided to use the balance to buy a small gift for ChinHeng’s new house! He has a new house, again!
A lot of activities have been carried out during this gathering. Chit-Chating, lucky draw, playing card game, updating status, declaring date for marriage, and many more! There are five couples expected to get married in this year! Indeed, this is good news.
It was a delightful gathering, but not all of our schoolmates were present on that night. I hope that would be more schoolmates can join (just cross our fingers that would be another one) in next year.
