Sometimes it’s not those ‘successful’ fault, it’s those ‘less-successful’ that think too much.

But really, I’m sure it would be a great reunion if only everybody just mingled and relived those old days without discrimination, without comparisons – albeit a little impossible, heh. But you know, I’m sure that everybody has his/her own measure of success, in some ways. It may not always be in terms of earnings, really. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can attend a reunion in a Merc or a BMW:
1) They rent the car for a day.
2) They borrow their family members.
3) They bought it themselves, but before agreeing to stretch their car-loan to 9-years repayment scheme and every month need to ikat perut to pay back the loan.

Some wiser men would save up the money for their children’s education (it’s expensive to send a kid to university, these days – and yet university degree is becoming increasingly important; without it your life’s tough). In this regard, those who blew their fortune on lavish luxuries may not have enough left for their children in the future. How successful are such people, in the end?

Another measurement of success I like to use is by looking at one’s children. Are they doing well in school? Are they playing truant and skipping school? I’d be very proud if I lived a not-so-high-profile lifestyle and at the same time, my kids are well-behaved with good results.

So at a gathering, there is always something more than meets the eye. A person wearing a Rolex may not mean/prove anything. Don’t be intimidated by a ‘seemingly more successful’ schoolmate of yours. Everybody is successful to a certain extent, in his/her own little ways and that includes you.

Teachers? Not really, I was not the teachers’ favorite in high school. I missed one of my primary school teacher though.

Yes Jessy.. if I go I will wear the most gorgeous DRESS for sure :p
