The bar last night was so packed... there was hardly any place left to walk. It was a scene of red. We played Chinese music from our laptops - a selection of Mandarin, Hokkein and Cantonese oldies and contemporary music, plus CNY songs of course. There was a whole range of CNY goodies... kueh bankit (sp?)
juu yook gon aka
bak kwa, pineapple tarts, almond biscuits, sotong strips, peanuts, mandarin oranges, and the traditional '
lou heh as well. Others from our hall risked funny tastes to have a go at our Chinese foodstuffs... good on 'em. We passed those few hours idling around, chatting, playing cards, and making a mess of the bar.

During the night, a bunch of Singaporeans walked into the bar. I thought that one of them looked extremely familiar... someone from my secondary school.
Later, I ventured to their table. "Erm... are you Audrey?"
She looked at me and blinked, "What are you doing here?"
We burst out laughing.
She continued, "... aren't you a few years younger than me?"
I nodded, "Yeah, you're my senior. But... I went to Australia, remember? I skipped a year."
She's in UCL (University College London), and it's her fresher year too. We exchanged numbers, and I asked if she knew of any other TKGians studying in London. Apparently, two of my other prefect seniors -the closer ones, too- are here. Sam and Gladys, one my direct mentor, the other my Class Prefect in Sec 1. Hahahaa... now I can't wait for my batch to get into uni... and see who'll end up in the UK.
