AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Saturday, January 24, 2009


The CNY reunion this year was one of the weirdest reunions I've ever been to.
We arrived at Jurong point in three groups - one at Subway, one at GV and one who was late. Spent one hour eating lunch and yelling at each other because no one wanted to watch a movie and no one wanted to go to the arcade. We had three choices - stay at Jurong and waste time, go somewhere else and waste time, go to NTU and thrash HF's house.
By that time, our big group broke into two groups - one group went to play at Naman's house and the rest went to NTU.
And then we got broken up even further - Al, HK and Mitra missed the bus, so we gave them the bus number. Then Eugene Lim called them and told them the wrong bus number, so they were fuming, so Eugene called them back and said that HF had lied (ahem) and that they were on board the correct bus. Then he told them to get off at Hall 6 when it was actually Hall 14. So HF "lied" again and they were told to get off at Hall 14.
Once there we decided to walk to the soccer field. HF said it would be a five minute walk, so that was fine. THen she remembered it was a five minute run.
So one group got tired of the sun and went back to Jurong Point where they watched a movie. The others went and played soccer and baseball while some played cards nearby.
In the end? The most screwed up, weird, not-thought-through reunion ever.
