We had the first alumni get-together on 16 January, a Saturday morning.
It turned out much better than I'd expected.
The group was small--22 of us faculty and alumni turned up--but cozy.
It seemed like everybody came with the same purpose: to have a good time and catch up.
Joseph--who's as funny as ever--started us off with games (very silly ones, which I was very thankful for at nine in the morning), then we got to hear from one another.

We learned what each other was doing (e.g., Wan Jee will leave for Japan in March, and Lim N, who came back for a wedding, plays football once a week with Chinese migrant workers, good for him!).
We also found out what some people did for fun in their free time, e.g., Jan plays computer games (so big already still play ah), Alfred loves gardening, Tony jogs, and Wai Ling, who's back from Melbourne for a break, is into jig saw puzzles.
Then Kenneth Bong, South-East Asian Director of OM, spoke on how we could all last long and well in ministry.
By the way, he is an alumni of sorts--with Campus Crusade's student ministry. Said he learned from us he could change the world.
So the verdict?
"Good. I enjoyed finding out about what's new at the school." said Chae-Rim.
"And it feels good seeing old friends and professors again."
