A day of old friendships - CNY'17'D5

This year my CNY break officially ended on D4, ie 开工日was day 5.  But I took half day leave on D5, cos I have 3 gatherings planned for that day. 

 

Anyway, let's start with D5 morning.  It's the company tradition to bring in a Lion dance troupe on first day of work.  I gave the lion an angbao to just step into my room for a "jiggle"...  haha..

 

And my hair clip broke.  Took a selfie to check how I will look for the rest of the day at various gatherings...

 

Oh, there's also the FB notification in the morning of what I posted "today 8 years ago".  It's a super cute photo of Lynn when we did CNY visiting to my eldest Uncle's wife.  So I created this collage of then-and-now.

The first gathering that afternoon lasted 4 hours, with 4 of us out of 7 of the "Jabil Beauties".  Ha, this is our chat group name, which Alice picked.  When with good friends, 4 hours passes so quickly..  I'm so happy meeting and chatting with them. 

The second gathering was at KW's house.  I was wondering who will be there, and it turn out to be the drinking and smoking gang and some others.  KW moved to his new house last year April.  I'm impressed; it's beautifully done. 

Finally at 7pm, the Deloitte gang met at Toa Payoh Swatou restaurant.  主角 Serena 姗姗来迟, reaching around 735.  She came alone.  Later on, Lynn wanted to join us, and Serena asked her hubby to bring the daughter too.  Ginny was ill and couldn't join us, else we will have a perfect attendance photo.    We had a great chat with Soo Hui who came early about Secondary schools.  I think I will definitely consider St Nic after what she told us.

What a fulfilling day 5 it was.
