“rounded up”, dinner date confirmed, attendance taken, …. We were warmly welcomed at the Restaurant by the “Organising committee” – whilst a print of our last class photo was passed around for us to identify one another as well as to recall every one’s names. I supposed for many of us, there have not been many changes since we were 17 or 18-year olds, though, of course, many of the guys have “prospered”. In the course of exchanging news that evening, it was indeed heartening to note that members of C-79 had done reasonably well in our careers. We had accountants, businessmen, consultants, engineers, managers, teachers, etc, in our midst. It was a nostalgic evening – not because of the spread of the food at our privately reserved function room of Restoran U’Full, but rather the meeting of classmates whom some of us had not seen since we went on our separate ways long time ago in 1979! It was a night where old contacts were renewed …, where “forgotten” friendships were reaffirmed …, where we caught up with some 20 years’ of news from each other. I believe many, if not all, of us left the restaurant in high spirits that night (by the way, liquor was not served during our dinner, so none of us could have been drunk!)… and perhaps we could look forward in anticipation of more such gatherings to come
