After some 32 years since the 1st batch of CJCians stepped on the premises of the Catholic Junior College, they returned on 15 Jan 2008 to jointly celebrate their 50th Birthdays. With NAME TAGs printed at Font Size 18, the evening was a major face recognition exercise. Whilst much has changed with more fore-heads, rounder silhouettes and reading glasses, some remained as "young" as ever. Memory lapses was no longer an excuse but a reality in some cases.
There were also a few shockers .... Discovered among the 1st batch of CJCians were people whom I have interacted along the way ....my neighbour of 8 years (Bernard Foo), father of my Sarah-Marie's close friend (Jeremy Tay), church warden and some who have met the family but did not realised the long time connection.
Some were still within the recognition range but some were really beyond the memory sector. (Drats !!! Age caught up and has overtaken !!!)
Great evening on the whole. Way to go !!!
