The last 93 officer makan was more than a year back at Greenwood Fish Market, which has fantastic food, and cosy atmosphere. Too bad it was too cosy that a group of 12 would be a bit cramped. Thus i reserved a pizza place down the street instead.
From a group of 11, 3 were unable to make it due to work, sailing and personal reasons, thus final attendees were Giam (crabbiest, as he is full col, the rest less crabby =P), Chee Lay, Francis, Henry (who actually looked like an investment banker =P), Desmond, Chee Hun, Huey Wen and obviously, me. =P Left home at 1745, thinking that it should be enough to get there on time by bus, which was good timing as there was traffic jam and i got there just on time, while chee lay was the earliest, reaching there 5 minutes before time.
Soon, the rest arrived and started chatting. Although it was met to be a simple get together, somehow it ended up with 2 news from me, which is after retiring 4 years ago, i finally graduated and also obtained offer from Shell. heh. Also did some catching up on what everyone is doing, and stuff. Everyone looked like 5~6 years back, not much changes. And it was back to old times as we revisited the fun times, high stress periods etc. Much laughter as we looked back into past events and stuff. =)
Rounded off with ice cream treat from giam, and more chatting among the 5 of us as Francis, Henry and Chee Hun had to make their way back 1st. And thus ends the 93 officers makan, as the saying goes... 天下無不散之宴席. So we went our own ways and will meet up again in a year's time, maybe earlier, during Steadfast's commissioning and when i strike toto. =D
