It took me one fine day, to decide on sending an email to a couple of people, about how the world (might be) coming to an end in 2012, with the natural disasters that are happening so frequently, and how we should meet up if time permits. And there, I got all of them in "tears" with that email, written oh-so-beautifully. Or maybe I just made the last part up..but..
I have a few things to be proud of myself, for:
1. I decided to send an email (which felt slightly more personal) than sending a facebook invitation, because I feel like people seldom take facebook invitation seriously. Like they RSVP to attend, but then suddenly decided to just not attend.
2. Ever since we've left UTP for good, it was really a pain in the arse to gather everyone together. I am not kidding. For example, we have people working in the same area, but not even once out for a tea break. The busy schedule, impromptu work duties (like myself) and the distance apart made that all impossible to happen, but yes, it was really triumphant when I knew that 13 people are going to turn up.
3. Getting a place for dinner, at such a short notice. Although Delicious was tad twee disappointing in terms of food wise, but then, the ambiance was good enough for catching up.
I am glad that everything worked out fine. And a lot of them actually requested us to do this every month. Well, let's not get carried away too fast..one step at a time!
p/s: My only regret is I've probably missed out a couple of people in the email loop, and I wonder if they would take this into offence...diu..I'm sorry..just too many to handle..
