Memories

Wow. It's been a week of nostalgia.

First off, 'bought 2 days ago, I bumped into Jeannie - a girl whom I went to school with when I was 15. I was coming out of the 7-11, stuffing my ciggies into my bag, she turns to look at me, our eyes widen, and the names pour forth simultaneously! Jeannie! Fiona! Hey! I can't believe you remembered my name!

Oy! A rabid AND rapid 10 minute exchange then proceeds: of names, old stories, DECADES old gossipy tidbits and a mutual admiration of how the other hasn't aged. Heh. Jeannie says I have the same laugh AND walk as I did in school. This, when we were 15/16. In comparison to now, when we are 34 this year. Amazing. I've had the same laugh all this time? All these years?

Then a leisurely dinner with an ex colleague last night. Good ol' SL, who's suffering through training at her new company with a bunch of xiao jies. The evening somehow ended up with my reminiscing and sharing anecdotes of my weirdo growing up years into adulthood with SL. At least I entertained her, I hope.

And tonight, lying in wait for me in my inbox, was a message from my old college. Someone, according to Statcounter, had trawled the internet for TPJC alumni, found my blog, retrieved my email, and sent me an up-date on our old school's 20th Anniversary. That's a lot of trouble to send an email.

Shit. 20th Anniversary - they'd be in their 20th Student Council as well, then. Dammit, I feel my age! I was in the 4th SC. Heady, glorious, wild days with MBA. Probably the start of the best time of my life though. Gorgeous gorgeous memories.


Wicked!! w00t!
