It is that time again for our annual SCGS CNY gathering. We always look forward to this festive gathering during Chinese New Year. Hsiao, Karen, Steph, Chung and I have been friends for many years since primary and secondary school. I better not say how many years, otherwise people will know our age. Age is a woman's secret, right?! =)
It used to be just us, the 5 gals at the annual gathering since we met again in 1996 for the first time after we left secondary school a couple of years before. Then slowly (due to the different milestones in life), the husbands got included and now the children are involved too. It gets more and more crowded each year but fun, nonetheless.
This year, we had the gathering at Steph's place in Siglap. We had potluck: Karen and her delicious (but spicy but still yummy) mee siam and chicken wings, Hsiao and her fish cutlet (also spicy but also yummy), Steph and the famous Joo Chiat Tao Gua Bao and finger food, Chung and her Yu Sheng from one of the Japanese restaurant, and I and my potato salad. Sorry, gals, I just love potato. Hahaha.
It was the usual food and wine, talking and laughing. Though we only meet up 3 - 4 times a year, with the CNY gathering as the first for each year, we are always able to pick up from where we left off at the last gathering. It is as if no time had passed! That is how strong our friendship is. I am, and I think I can safely say it for all of us, we are proud of our long friendship. By the way, the husbands [the SCGS husbands(?) Hahaha] and children are not neglected, they are also becoming good friends with one other.

A toast to our friendship!
