The 40th anniversary of the medical class of ’57 - ’63,
University of Singapore was a grand occasion for 41 former classmates
and their families. The party was held at the Marina Mandarin Hotel
in August. Some of the guests even turned up with children and grandchildren
in tow!
As some classmates observed, every reunion becomes more precious and
enjoyable. For this group of medical alumni, this was the eighth time
that they had gathered together to renew old ties. As a testament to
the four decades of strong bonds that exist between them, alumni even
came from England, Australia, as well as East and West Malaysia. Emotions
were strong that evening, ranging from sadness at the absence of some
old friends, to exuberance at meeting familiar faces again.
After a rousing singalong, the evening ended with many affectionate
farewells, with tears clouding many an eye, and promises made to meet
again in Perth, Australia in 2005.
