Had been a good month meeting up with old friends and connecting with exstudents.
J is back from Texas on personal reasons .Got her connected with her exAssuntarians. Though I am not one, I am surrounded by them by virtue of Sixth form class. We had 2 sessions and it was good because as usual all those here in Malaysia needed an outside reason (in this case an Texas friend who will only be here on limited duration) to meet up.
And this too is the same with our gang of exteachers from BB.This time though we didn't talk of school but more on health and retirement plans. We had a good laugh thinking of hooking on facebook and buying retirement homes in the same area so that we can spend time together.Health also becomes a common topic an we are all over 50s. Comparing notes on magic stones, lumps,Reiki treatment, health plans, insurance and whatever else. Children are never missed out too, comparing them to us when we were their age. Alas, the generation ideals changed so much.
I also met up with some ex students on a one to one basis. Was good to to find out their latest activities with their life and treated like a VIP.
I have a few more catching up to attend before the Chinese New Year. One with my HEMs group and a couple more with students who were sincerely trying to buy me a meal or two. A little paisei but well, maybe is the time to enjoy the fruit of my labour.
