tonite is another one of those where i feel like perhaps i've done something right. not that i might have had anything to do with them being who they are now, but more because i hv the good fortune of seeing them again, all nice and proper.
peter dropped out, like he said tonite, quietly. he's got his degree and has already secured a job at the IR. he thought that tonite he might have "jitters" meeting me, but actually felt very "at peace" :)
teck koon came in a long-sleeve shirt and dress pants. he is doing accounts now. he also went a big round and today is all decent and pleasant.
we ate at tampines mall and before we said bye bye, peter said that we could go to his friend's place at siglap next time. that place serves food and drinks and we could chill there. and he said it'd be "cool" to drink with a teacher. how silly :)
these two, i remember. they were in the band. and i think i taught teck koon in class too. he was quiet but mixed with "bad" company. Peter often got into trouble. for what, i can't remember.
but all those are not important anymore. peter himself said that it was silly, to do those silly things. when a "kid" says that, i think he has come a long way. teck koon says that he is busy with work but he still wants to study. he said that he must at least go get a degree.
the funny thing is that they still come back to you :) like with charles, i don't think i've spoken to these two this much when they were in school. and yet, we could sit at a dinner table years later and talked about things that happened years ago.
a very pleasant evening.
i am so happy for the two of you.
thanks Peter, thanks Teck Koon.
