Going to my primary school teacher's house had been a fruitful visit. It has been ages since I visited Mr Ho, my primary 6 form teacher. If I am not mistaken, the last time was in secondary 1. After some maths, I think that was 8 or 9 years ago? Whao!!!
In the first place, I had mixed feelings about visiting him. Well, basically I was afraid to meet up with those folks that I approached back when I was still hot into BA. Fortunately, everything went well and we averted the topic on my previous BA commitment.
I had a great time meeting up with the folks. They all look the same! Except one or two that have "evolved". Haha... And for my teacher, he has clearly overcome all signs of aging. He is still the same old jovial and caring Mr Ho that I remember back in primary school. I'm really happy to hear that he is enjoying his life after opting for early retirement. He is almost 58 this year and guess what is his daily routine... He wakes up as early as 545am, send his youngest child to work before going for his jog at nearby park for an hour and having breakfast at about 8.
I guess teachers are gifted at talking and we found ourselves sitting around Mr Ho as we listened to him talking about the facts of life for nearly 45 mins. One thing that I gather from the conversation is this sentence, "Never cling to life when it is one short of Quality". My teacher was talking about how one of his friends contracted colon cancer and how medicine was used to prolong his life. In his opinion, he would not trade the medical bills for extra life span. His philosophy, life a healthy lifestyle. The conversation with my teacher has somehow made me more down-to-earth. Hym... Not sure how to put these into words but I guess his humbleness, sincerity and passion towards life has moved me in a way than none has. Although he has no degree, with the right attitude, you can still achieve. Being a grandfather of 1, own a terrace house, a car, no worries for your 2 grown-up child, physically and financially stable, I reckon these are perhaps the criterion for one to be successful. Mr Ho has clearly done that. = p
From my group of folks, I realised I'm one of the few that is still schooling. The rest of them are already in the working force. My playmate then, Glen, has a great job and drives a car. Impressive! I think he is successful for our age as he seems to be the centre of attraction among the rest of the guys. I'm really glad he still remember me as the same old QC back in primary school. I am looking forward to understand more of the remaining folks. The gathering on Jan 26, count me in for sure!!!
After the gathering, the LAN session that followed was definitely one of a kind. We actually played lan till 3 in the morning before calling it a day. It was fun but like I said, it seems too much and boring to me. Haha... It was an unique way to celebrate Wei Jie's Bday though. = P
The stay-over, no sleep-over at Mich's was interesting as Zi wei filled us up with his numerous ghost stories back in his camp. Anyway, I can't remember much as I dozed off almost immediately.
It was nice to be able taste Ah Ma's home-cooked food. Thanx a thousand! Haha... Looking forward to tomorrow's. Cheers!
I have decided to continue save for my SEIKO watch! After going to Mustafa, I finally found a watch which is within my ability to acquire. I definitely need more saving to be done but at least I have found a watch which is within my reach! Haha... = P Looks like they have only orange colur although I prefer blue. Well, hopefully it is not sold out by then...
Anyway, just wanna ask a question. If you are a couple and you happen to see 2 friends walking towards you. WOuld you:
1. Say "Hi" to both?
2.Simply turn around, walk to a corner and look at you cellphone and leave w/o even a "Hi"?
Well, I reckon that whoever is reading my blog would definitely choose the former becoz if otherwise, you wouldn't even have access to this webby in the first place. v('0')v
