It started with the CGL97 reunion with the group. This is suppose to be the official CGL Class of 97 reunion but most of the time, only the 5 Science 1 folks attend. There is a book and a keeper of the spoon who organizes the reunion and writes about the night in the book.
This year organizers were Guat May and Christine (who couldn't make it eventually) at Palace D'India in Tanjung Tokong. It was REALLY nice to see some people, who I normally only get to see during events like these, such as Doris who now has a son! And Vern Ying (who we affectionately call Poo) and Yvonne who is now a MMU lecturer. I think I haven't met up with Yvonne since uni days.
The lovely ladies with the book of the spoon
Doris handing me an ang pow... gosh, so malu, eh!
Just a note of the Palaca D' India. SERVICE there SUCKS. Most of us spent the night being really impatient with the wait staff. The water almost never came even after many attempts to remind them. The captain who took our orders told us the one order could feed 4 person when it could barely feed 2. And it took forever to get anything in this place! If you want to go to a great North Indian restaurant, I would recommend Passage Through India along Penang Road.
A couple of us, Ai Ping, Suan Lynn, Guat May and me eventually ended up at QEII for drinks to meet up with a few other ex-CGL-ians, Jo Lynn and Marion.

Oh, and by the way, I got nominated by Doris who was is this year's keeper of the spoon as her assistant.
The second reunion was organized by Patricia for non-5 science-ers. But still it was just basically 5 Science 2 and 5 Arts 1 folks. It took place at an open karaoke bar along Bellisa Row. This place used to be a kopitiam, with roti bakar and coffee. But it has now be taken over by Bed. There were tons of people and we didn't even managed to get to sing many songs. Most of the other patrons there mainly chose Mandarin/Cantonese songs.

We ended the night at my favourite maggi goreng spot. The one located at the corner of Transfer Road and Burmah Road. Across from the police headquarters.
