17: VCD Surfaces an Old TGCMS Colleague

Reflecting on the past, I viewed a VCD of events of 2005, the year when I was involved in RC and CC functions in the Thomson Constituency.And it surfaced a dinner photo at a Grandparents Nite Celebration of Thomson Community Club.
The couple on the left are Mr & Mrs Lim Jit Lit, and that's my wife and me on the right. I almost couldn't remember his name after more than 3 decades, but Jit Lit introduced himself. Then I remembered: he was the Maths Specialist teaching in the Pre-U classes at Thomson Govt Chinese Middle School.
It turned out that his wife was a Line Dancing expert. Yes, we were also learning this recreational skill at the Thomson-Shunfu RC at that time. What a happy coincidence, and a chance to rekindle old ties and friendship.

15: It's Always Good to Meet an Old Colleague

Yes, indeed. There he was, Dominic I mean, brisk walking along the Peirce Reservoir dam when I brisk walked there with my wife.  His wife was doing the taichi with a group of friends. We exchanged news to catch up with old times. Yes, indeed, it's always good to meet up with an old colleague from Thomson Sec School!
