A happy recollection....
Around 2 weeks ago, an Alvin Tan called me on my phone, asking me if I remembered him, he was from 4S1 with Eugene Chen. I was thinking hard for quite a while; I should have looked up on the year book - what a waste of brain cells thinking. Anyway, I didn't see my year-book then so I was like, heck, I'll recall when I'll recall.
There is a few more conversations made through the SMS made me more uncertain of me knowing him. I thought I knew him from army days back in 2002 - 2003; as there's another Alvin from Catholic High; it turned out negative.
Only today, when I was chatting with Eugene over MSN did I had another image popping up and they are from my Primary 4 days - talk about the amazing sub-conscious - a few more checks with Eugene confirmed my suspicion, he is Alvin Tan whom sits beside me during Primary 4 year; I guess age does make it a bit more difficult for memory work, especially when it's like 16 years ago. LOL
Gave him a called back immediately to tell him that I recalled and sent him my seasons greetings. A short call though since he's busy for the moment, I guess it'll take a while before I could find out how he's doing over the years. Heard from Eugene that he's a doctor now and got married - sounds so much like a perfect life that Singaporeans parents wished for their children. But I believe that in between those years that we last met, there must be loads of interesting experience. =)
