Today starts another old boys weekend of my alma matter. Like previous years I still miss the opportunity the attend due to job commitment abroad. Not many from my batch will attend. Furthermore, Saturday will be a schooling day thus many will find it obligated to ensure their kids go to school. Old boys are parents too. That is alright and hope others will turn up to support the organizer.
During my days in school, old boys weekend was like a festival to us. Was a real good break as we had chance to savour good dinner in the dining hall, though if one look at it now that was just ayam masak merah, mixed veg and apple. Drink was 'air sirap merah'.
The morning was like usual in class but came afternoon you'll start to see unfamiliar faces wandering the hostel blocks and school building. It was like 'khenduri'. Then came the evening, more will flock the Form 6 block near Block G as that was the 'hotel' for the old boys. The following day would be the sport activities, court games, football and rugby was the main highlight. Evening would be the grand dinner. Sunday would be the closing and the boys were started to leave the school by noon.
For me, it was exciting.
