Birthday.Gathering.Meaningful Activity

There is a gang of us, I cant tell the exact number of how many of us. There should be alot of us, but due to the geographical distances, the number of active members is changing depends on the type of activity that is going. Example, there would be more than 20 persons during CNY period. However, there would be only 7 person on the regular Friday lunch.

This gang of people here are very close friends. They are secondary schoolmates. In fact, they are the combination of a few smaller groups in secondary school. Maybe, I should elaborate abit on the history.

The small groups of people are berpecah-belah after F5. Well, everyone is pursuing dream at different places like College, University, F6 and Society. And then most of the members from the small groups continue their studies in F6 and they are arranged in the same class. They participate in the same clubs and hold all the posts available. Since then, they studied together, organised club's activities together, planned outing together, celebrating birthday together, etc. After F6, most of them went into the same local university but took up different courses. Some of them repeating the same thing happened back in F6, which is to participate in the same clubs and organise activities together. There might be some slight changes that had happened, but they still gather together on each other's birthday. That's how the close relationship developed until today.

Now, we are all working at different companies. We keep the tradition to gather on each other's birthday. Whenever someone's birthday draws near, we will call up each other to plan for the birthday. Some would volunteer to buy presents, some would volunteer to buy cake. We set the venue, date and time to gather and SING the birthday song! I would like to take this opportunity to THANKS each and everyone of you to accompany to celeb my birthday with me all these years! I cherish every birthday that had spent with you all! It is our friendships that colour the first page of my new age.

Till here, maybe you would want to know why I suddenly talked about this gang of people here. On the last gathering we have had, we decided to name this gang of people by setting up a club (erm some sort like that)! The very first name given is BIG RED FLOWER club or HIBISCUS club, in mandrin it is DA HUNG HUA HUI *yucks* HAHAHAHAH...Anyway, I think there is no doubt that Red Sponge would become the mascot of the club! Okla, the big red flower is not a fix name yet la. It's an example, but if we really cannot think of a better one, then we will have to use it! LOL

The initial objective of it would be very simple: while we are celebrating birthdays, we will help others in need at the same time. We have not discuss in details how we are going to do that, but one thing for sure is that we try to do something meaningful during our gathering.

Hmm...does the whole thing arise because of we miss the time to be the AJK of a club back in school days?!! Just kidding!
