Update (6) - Meet up with GF colleagues

There was a gathering for ex-chartered finance staff, organised by George Thomas in June. It had been more than a year since I last met some of my old gang, and the GL folks. Most of my gang and the GL folks turned up, with the exception of Geraldine, Janice and Grace.


At the gathering, I managed to speak to George and Sherman each for close to 5 minutes, which was something that I did not expect. But I didn't get to catch up with HT. Got to know that Grace just gave birth to her first kid, and that Sherman downgraded his house (in preparation for retirement, we speculated).


Subsequently, Shirley organised a mj session in July. When TH and James arrived (both of them about 5 yrs older than me) we immediately got into a conversation about reaching middle age, about white hair, long sightedness, and cpf!


Then I organised a hi tea for the ladies in my gang in the month of Aug. The 6 of us are 39 to 42 yrs old. Come to think of it, I should had taken a pic of this "aunty" gathering, ha! As we always did during lunch back then, we talked mostly about maid, a little about moms or MIL, and kids of course. Altought our age gap is close, amongst us we have kids in JC (LH gave birth to her first kid at age of 23!), in upper to lower primary school, in pre school, and one not born yet (Carol is pregnant with her 4th kid at age 39)!! 2 and half hour of the Sun afternoon just flew by; there was much catch up achieved, but then there are still so much more that can shared.


When will the next session be and be like? Looking forward..


Here are some photos of George's gathering in June.
