Hi all,
I tried to use this new player to try to play the music that was embed the other time. Apparently it takes very long to load, or the player is not working.
Hopefully someone knows how to sort it out :)
Anyway, the rest of the formatting is too complicated! Haha can the creator(s) simplify it a little or help to touch up a little?
Thanks!

We organised our first sports session today. At a short notice, 4 people turned up for the event, just nice to enjoy and sweat out two hours of badminton.
One thing we did learn in common is to enjoy whats remaining of our youth while we are still able to. Comparing ourselves with a trainee (a primary school kid) in the neighbouring court, we cannot help but miss the good things that youth has. That of agility, quick recovery and... less pressure and worries! Haha!
For sure, we were aching in more than one area after the 2-hour session.
As I will be going off for the next month, hope some one can carry on this trend. Maybe plan one about 2 weeks in advance so that problems such as the lack of places to go, people unable to commit themselves etc, can be minimised.
Enjoy the up coming hols and all the best!

2005-Present.
It has been five years since most of us got to know each other. And it is pleasing to note that most of us are still in constant contact and interaction.
We will be celebrating five years of friendship in two days time. As we all remember, the 18th of May was designated as the "birthday" of our class. As far as I remember, we have acknowledged this occasion each time by arranging a meet up; this year being no exception.
After a flurry of planning and trying to accommodate as many people as possible, we finally settled on today as the date to meet. While it did not seem to look good attendance wise, I am sure everyone would have tried to attend the event at some point in time, one way or another. Fish and co. seems to be the preference, this time, at the Glass House. (Did we have fish and co. for like the past 2-3 class bdays?)
As all the guys have already entered university, this year saw a change in the major topic from army life, to that of university experience. Refreshing and beneficial I must say. A common topic for everyone to share their experience on. Dinner, no doubt slightly later than usual, served its intended purpose well. A time to sit down and catch up with each other in a relaxed environment. A break from the usual hectic schedule that we all come to face in recent times.
After dinner, we wanted to find something that we could all do together. In the end, we settled at TCC with 4 cups of drinks and 11 cups of water. Topics varied, but the most interesting thing was the "revival" of the idea of having a weekly/monthly sports session. According to Jameson, the plan had been put on hold for two years! Not wanting to follow the route of the Copenhagen Summit or the Nuclear Disarmament talks, we decided on playing badminton either this week or next week. Soon though, it was time to go home, and we parted, having blown out five imaginary candles.
Of course, this, like any other outing, serves as a way for us to interact with each other. Soon, most of the ladies will be in the job market, while the guys will have to wait a couple more years to follow suit. With that, we may see that there will be fewer chances to meet up again.
I would think that some may have a different view on this matter compared to me. And I respect their view point as well. I prefer to see this as testament that friendships are important, and can go a long way to helping one another in the future. As we mature to our later years, we might look back at this with fond memories. So no matter in smaller groups or as a whole, do keep in touch with each other!
Hopefully, I will be able to get courts this week (or next), then we can get the ball rolling!
Btw, face book seems to be the new trend these days, so I think most of the photos are on display already :)
Cheers!

Hi all,
So it has been rather quiet in this quarters for the past few months. Perhaps this blog may no longer be the preferred mode of communication for most of us. For the regular contributors, we may have many other commitments to attend to, so we find less time to login. And maybe for others, it is just about forgetting the username and pw, or even the blog address for that matter! Haha not to worry, there are still some of us that remember these info clearly, so feel free to sms us if you want to contribute.
Well, most of the class has joined the 21-club this year. I must say we still have a very strong class bond. All the class members are always on the invite-list for the 21 bday parties. At least half the class still hangs out together if there is an occasion. And more often than not, we do try to turn up for the event/bday celebration if we are available.
I must apologise to a few classmates here though, for I did not turn up for their bday parties even though I had promised to earlier. In one of the instances, I had already got the present on the day itself, only for the flu bug to take over. So to the trio, really sorry!!!
I just came back from Kenneth's bday today. I hope that he really enjoyed himself, and that the presents come in handy to him. He doesn't turn 21 till monday though, so happy bday once again! And for the next in line,
Debbie! On
tuesday, so happy bday to you in advance too. I will remember to send a message this time.
After the both of them, come the Sept babies in Zi Kai, Ee Kent and Zhi Yan. And then myself followed by Huimin nearing the examinations.
I think we should all thank Mel, Debbie, Shui Yong, Jameson, Kenneth, Andie and Jun Rong. They have been present at almost, if not all of the bday parties, with Mel even suggesting to help celebrate some of ours. I think all of us really appreciate it.
As for some updates...
Jonathan is already in Australia studying, while
Ee Kent flew off to USA a couple of weeks ago. We wish them the best of luck, and will definitely welcome them back in the airport when they return. Also, not to forget the gals on exchange programmes earlier in the year. I am sure they enjoyed themselves thoroughly and came back all the more wiser. Do share with us your experience!
Ok that is all for today... I will try to update the blog periodically about how our classmates are fairing. In this way, even if you cannot make it for an activity, at least you still know what happened meanwhile. Hopefully this helps.
Cheers!

Eh, so as we edge closer to the Jan babies bday.... any ideas yet? Lol...
Doubt so cause both of their birthdays fall close to or on CNY itself. Not to mention straight after huiling's one is Hoe Seng's bday too. So maybe during the belated CNY function, can celebrate all together loh. Alternatively, just a suggestion, can hold at my place, but no guarantees because the bookings are coming thick and fast, so got to confirm the date fast if really want.
I think maybe can change the blog song to "Forever Young" by Alphaville since we always want to be young! But it's a kinda old song so I think you all may not like.
Happy birthday in advance to Andie and Huiling!
And Happy CNY to all!
regards,
Yick Loong
