gathering of the "sanes" from 6.11 Iconium

had a fun filled tuesday when half the class turned up at keith's (a.k.a super dry and curly haired guy) house for a class gathering. keith is another multi-millionaire in the making (that's why he is going to be in my VIP list of potential rich ex-student) as his house is going for en-bloc soon.

saw many photos of keith when he was younger. there are some people who age well and there are some that don't. guess which category he falls under? haha... but keith's sister is totally different... no wonder daniel (a.k.a the vertically challenged guy) is going crazy over her.

i was expecting really good spread of food (sharks' fin, abalone, buddha jump over the wall, caviar, foie gras, truffle.... you get the idea?) when i arrived... but to my 'disappointment', there were only some finger food! salad tossed on a pizza pan prepared by joshua, brownie and apple crumble prepared by justin, ice cream (very very nice!) brought by tin ning, pizza prepared by keith's maid, soft drinks purchased by the guy staying at swiss club road. eh.... swiss club road leh... soft drink?? erm... i was expecting him to bring some exotic drinks that cost like $500 per glass! and what about the promised jeremy ee served on a platter?? ( guess i am now really worse than Condemn for Politeness in my Term Report for next year right?)

on the other hand, what touched me was the organisers' sincerity and kindness. deep down (i must really search deeply) they are a really nice bunch of people. i must admit that of all the class gatherings that i have attended, this is the one that i have stayed the longest (eh... past my bedtime of 9.30pm).

had a "quick" round of cranium and learnt some new things about some people:

1) ACS(I) students ang moh very good. i know good... but then damn good sia. what the h@#$ is an aglet? impressive...
2) darren can really act "well"
3) keith cannot hum/whistle for nuts
4) justin can hum/whistle for nuts
5) harbridge can "strip" and "belly dance"

it was time well spent especially when the following is an ACS(I) holiday. now that we have enjoyed ourselves, it's time to settle down for a month or two of serious work and aim for 45 points. anything short of that is a failure!! :-)
