Yet another class reunion of Foon Yew Primary School (2) - Class of 1982.
In fact, all the people in the photo below are Foon Yew alumni (Primary or High School!), except for the pretty girl in blue (右三). That's AnNee & BaoHe's young daughter.
Today is still CNY celebration mode. So, let's not forget about giving the young one Ang Pao. I purposely prepare a few colors so that they can choose the color for fun. Young one means, those under age and those above drinking or driving age but still eligible by customs (华人传统). But those two just refused to receive. :)
As for the food, we also prepare enough for everyone has a quick bite. The first few plates are the Steaks and the White Wine Mussels. As Miss Ivy Goh 班长(6A) wanted me to share a bit of cooking tips for cooking steak. So, I kept her in the kitchen for the two pieces of steak plus that bowl of mussels.

(Or simply click on the "Cook With Ken" tag will share all the rest of the cooking posts). :)
OK. Ivy also love how my wife cut the watermelon, where you cut and leave a "handle" to hold it.
The White Wine Steamy Mussels... Ivy saw it in the kitchen, so, mind as well also show it to her how I would cook the mussels. And she already learned the key idea of how to cook these two. Now, waiting for Gary to "evaluate" her style.
It's amazing to have all these friends 儿时玩伴 gathered here after 20-30 years. We kept talking and talking and I forget about taking photo of the food. We have Ken Steaks, White Wine Mussels, Seafood Fried Mee Hoon, Yang Zhou Fried Rice, Hainanese Chicken, Bak Kut Teh, Salted Egg Tofu, Pipa Chicken, Lots of fruits, and of course the White Wine requested by Rose. :)
This is AnNee's daughter and 王丽珊's daughter. Both of them have killer's smile on their face.
Both AnNee's daughters and 王丽珊's daughter. They like the swing.
The primary school mates are exchanging info, update each others, and eat ice creams.
Our kids also enjoying the ice creams.
Take 2.
Take 3.
OK. It's time for group photos.
After the first shot. The gang continue talking to each other. (Except for AnNee who is constantly facing the camera for the best look and best post.)
All our faces turn facing the camera again for the second shot.
Then, we take more shots. Bring in the spouces. (Sorry, my wife is not Foon Yew, so, she does not appear in this photo. As we need the camera lady to concentrate to take good group photos).
It's always an honour to take photo together with 班长！Me and Rose.
Gary (翔云) Your iPhone is a 山寨货.
No surprise. Ivy brought along a Mango cake which is nice and it is made in Crystal Jade. I am impressed with the Chinese restaurant can make such a nice cake. Happy Birthday to Kenneth - Me (Feb 9).
Jay, don't get ahead of yourself. Get hold of yourself. It is PaPa's birthday, not yours.
Kenneth & Family.
The late harvest dessert wine is best to serve with the cake together. 10% alcohol is not going to make our Ivy 班长 drunk!. So, Yum-Seng ah!
Everybody continue talking...
Gary is sharing some story...
一个美女刚经过, Gary gives both thumbs up. Wohoo...
Some of us brough along those memorable items, old photo albums, letters, 纪念册, and so on. See this is the reason why we wanted to gather today. To share these photos.
We then continue talk about life after Primary (2). Where we were, and what other friends are there...
These are all the memorable items, photos. So much talks on it.
By the way, these are the wine for tonight. First bottle South Africa, the rest are all French Red and White.
感想：
When I faced with these Primary school mates, some how, a lot of topic to talk, to share. The feelings are fun, and innocent. There are a lot of gaps in our lives, thru such a gathering, it is easier to find back your fun old days. So far except for the 年初一 one, I almost attended the rest. Quite cool.
