Winter Solstice Gathering 2009

Which Gen-Yer would remember Winter Solstice, much more have a gathering?

Well, we did. :)

After several unsuccessful attempts at meeting up (the last time was kite-flying at the Marina Barrage, just before the exams), we finally gathered majority of the Imperial Family for a steamboat. As to why we're thick-skinned enough to give ourselves the title, the reason goes way way way back into the history books, during our secondary school days. Oh well, let's just let the whole story stay in history. :) Anyway, steamboat-ing was fun, although we almost turned XXL's kitchen into a war zone. And what's Winter Solstice without 湯圓? It was also a great opportunity for us to play catch-up with Conrad, who FINALLY turned up for our gathering after so many light years. The first question he popped me was "Did you take Slim 10?"

-_-'''

I had to remind myself that the last time we met was in secondary school. But the boy didn't change one single bit (except for his height), and was doing what he did best the entire time he was there - yabbling non-stop about his life in the army (he plays for the band!). Do all guys have to do that?

And it's going to be another day that I pray, for the light over darkness.
