BBQ @ Jason's in-laws place

This was last week... Yup, yet another successful gathering organised by Jason & Merissa. This time was a BBQ Merissa's parents' place... They were house-sitting and conveniently use the place for the event. I reckon it's Jason's idea - not his place and still have a maid to do the prep and clean ups... typical of him...haha..

I was there late cos I was at SGH visiting my godma - who's doing fine. Anyway, I was still able to catch everyone when I reached. The response for this round was good... mostly managed to turn up. Too bad for Jianyuan & Elisa who had to attend a wedding dinner, and Leo & Grace who went over to Beijing. Anyway, Leonard & Grace were never really committed to join the group... not a big lost... haa.... Was suprised to see one unusual member - Eugene Seah... Haven't seen him since, hmmm... the days in Singapore Poly...?? I think so... That's like 15 years ago?! Though I'd heard some news about him over the past few years - he's doing well with his family biz, staying the same EC as Leo & Grace at The Eden, and have biz dealings with Christopher and Kwan Wei. There was a bit of awkwardness when we acknowledged each other... and I didn't really have much to chat with him... That typical 'lost-of-words' manner of mine surfaced once again... plus my DEFAULT unfriendly look wasn't helping the situation. Maybe we haven't really warmed up after all those years... Well, don't get me wrong - he's a nice person, I must say, just that we're weren't really THAT close since the beginning, though we were classmates, band-mates, poly-mates and he's staying so close to Leonard. Anyway, he got to leave early, so I guess we'll have to leave the catching up till god knows when again.

Thanks to Chris that we get some pictures to keep on this gathering... I guess as we grow older, we tend to appreciate the time spent with our good old friends even more. .. and it will always put a smile in all of us whenever we look back at these moments. A BIG THANK YOU to the organisers, J&M, and Chris as the camera-man.
