Hi-Tea With Girls till I'm 60 yrs old
These few days have been thinking of my ex-colleagues & life back then in SSC...those were the time of my working life. Met a bunch of zany, fun-loving & crazy girls who just share the same passion for life, sports, trips, food, laughter & great company.We share emotional times when we were 'abused' by CSC members, we rallied around & supported each other when one of us got into trouble, comforted each other in times of tears. We accompanied each other to work til wee nite of 1-2am & scare ourselves silly by listening to stories of the 'haunted' stadium. We ate at Geylang after intercon finals, gathered on eventday at 5am at ulu fields/parts of Sg, sweated in the hot sweltering heat just to get ah-heoks in line for goodie bag collection, got ourselves tangled in lines of walkie-talkies. Some kena slapped in face, shouted, jostled at by unkind aunties.
Missed those times when 2 or 3 girls huddle to gossip becomes a mass orgy of 10 girls who flew frm their seats trying to place their ears closer in case they miss the juicy part. Missed the time when we have shouting matches across cubicles. Missed those times when breakfast is occupying the longest table in RC. Missed those times when all are decked out in running attire, and the a whole gin-gang of Hipart girls run like a battalion. Missed those rare moments when all the girls are dressed to the nines and attracted stares & compliments frm everyone!
Sure, there were times when we felt like giving up, very early into our jobs...we hang on to whatever we could til the moment when we tell ourselves that we have to move on in terms of personal development & career prospects...and more & more of us did....Now, those place are just mere cubicles.
Though we are all over the Singapore now, 3 is in SA now, 1 came back frm UK.....I strongly believe that the spirit of HPA girls will live on!! WE will stil go on trekking/holiday trips, gossipy dinners, hilarious hen nights, jogging/running/wakeboarding/(insert your fav sports), mahjong sessions....and will have tea till we are 60 year old lao kok kok auntie...
For now, I'm just simply glad that we can look forward to Ms Pervert's Wedding Dnr where we will be dressed in pink and we'll go shopping with ZXL to buy a pink skirt.

Sounds more like it should have been a farewell e-mail! Of course, we shall still have tea till we are old, but of course, to moderate with lots of exercise, cos there's a risk of getting diabetes, with all those high-sugar cakes etc etc...

Strongly agree. Team SA has been discussing abt going on trekking trips and eating tours after we return. Give Alumni Hon Sec and Chairman 2 months to plan our next excursion lah :)
