Thus, it has become very important to meet up with old friends whenever possible, hence the reunions.
I have these mini reunions with my classmates from the Methodist Girls’ School, Kuala Lumpur whenever I happen to be in the capital city. One of my classmates will organize the ladies and a venue is agreed upon. How indispensable Whatsapp has become! Through this app, we are able to determine who is able to attend and to decide on the date and venue of our reunion.
We were classmates from the time we entered secondary school until the time we graduated. This class of ’59 is still going on strong although many are no longer domiciled in Kuala Lumpur or in Malaysia.
Our latest reunion was held last month to celebrate the birthday and 50th wedding anniversary of one our classmates, Dr. Gnanam.
She was most gracious to host the celebratory lunch at the Royal Lake Club in Kuala Lumpur. Our core group attended not only to wish her Happy Wedding Anniversary but also Happy Birthday. So, it was a two-in-one celebration.
It was a very lovely reunion to celebrate Dr. Gnanam's birthday and 50th wedding anniversary.
They have planned to have another gathering in November to welcome home another of our classmates who has made her home in the UK. She usually returns to Malaysia to escape the cold winter. As we grow older, we find it much harder to tolerate the cold temperatures of winter. However, I have to miss out on this one as airfares across the South China Sea are expensive.
However, I'm looking forward to the main reunion in February which sees the Chinese community ushering in a new Lunar year.
