I attended a high school class reunion. We've been meeting for the past 6 years during Chinese New Year. I suppose this is why Chinese New Year is such an important tradition and festival among the ethnic Chinese everywhere in the world. People actually DO make the effort to come back and celebrate with their friends and families.
About 30 of us were there. It was a great effort by our classmate and organiser of reunions - Teng. We enjoyed catching up with one another, seeing the changes for the better in terms of looks and intellect, and just joking around like old times.
I was not particularly close to most of my class, as I had a period of 'hermitism' during my 16th and 17th year. I needed an emotional break from some of the friends I had because of my newly found spiritual direction [I recommitted myself to Christ during that time]. My O-level exams also needed my full attention. But there were about 7-10 people in the class that I genuinely had strong friendships with. It's always good to catch up with them.
Random thoughts during the night:

Random thoughts during the night:
- Why is it that I rarely feel beautiful in Malaysia? Somehow, always feel, lacking and misunderstood. Unseen.
- Man, that particular guy. I can't believe I had a crush on him when I was 14 years old. He hasn't changed, but I have...His personality is no where near what I really need or want in a partner. FAR from it. Ugh.
- So many are progressing and settling somewhere in life. I want to be anchored somewhere.I want to belong to something solid. I want to head somewhere firmly. No more shilly-shallying.
- I want to belong to someone. Get married. Have kids. I ache for life-long, genuine love and companionship in marriage.
- How do I share with my friends and help them know Jesus? So many of them still do not know Him.
