Top Ten Things NOT to Say During High School Reunions

October 5, 2005

This topic was suggested by Pat like 5 months ago, was reading the old mails and found it.

I hate school reunions. Or any gathering with people from the past. No idea why. Maybe it’s the people I don’t like, but I’m always not bothered to attend…

Top Ten Things NOT to Say During High School Reunions

“Eh, you’re still single and no girlfriend? What happened to that girl you were dating for 15 years? She dumped you?”

  • “No children after 10 years? Why’s that? Low sperm count? Maybe you shouldn’t wear so tight underwear…”

  • “Hahaha! Ray, I still remember the time back in school when you had that huge pervy crush on our Physical Education teacher! HAhahahahaha…oh, you married him? Wow, I didn’t realize gay marriages are legal in this country…”

  • “Still a school teacher after all these years ah? Change job la! You see I promoted manager already, you know…”

  • “Joe, remember the 20 bucks I lent you to buy fags back in 1988? When are you going to return it…?”

  • “Wow, you used to be a hot babe back in school…what happened? Motherhood has been tough, eh?”

  • “Maybe you should ask yourself why you are still not married after all these years. Is it because you are afraid of commitment? Or is it you are not meeting enough girls/guys? Or that you have some deep emotional scarring regarding your father/mother/dead pet…”
    (At this point somebody is going to get a tight slap).

  • “OK, now I understand why they say only losers with no life attend all these school reunions…”

  • Really? We were classmates for 6 six years? How come I don’t remember you aa?”

  • “Wow, you REALLY put on a lot of weight, huh? Why, no exercise aa?”

      jason: I’d reply to that remark with a ‘oh, life’s been good to me, very prosperous now, what bout you? you look pretty skinny…not doing too good?’

      but that only applies to guys i guess.

      i hate people saying to me “ah i remember you. you were the smallest girl in class.”

      gee… as if i need to be reminded of that (though it is not something bad lah).

      just last sunday i met my ex neighbour (an old lady) who had not seen me for about 8 years. the first thing she said to me was “i cannot recognise you at all. you are so fat now!”.

      WTF!

      Thank goodness I went to a kampung school. All my schoolmates are busy selling fishes and porks as in fishmongers and butchers. Who has time for school reunions anyway. Unless they are Amway distributors or insurance salespersons! LOL!

      Yeah I know what you meant Simon but its heart warming to know after so many years later, some flew back from thousands of miles, just to attend a reunion. While its sad to see the ones here, never made any effort. I wondered why? Is it the insecurity about themselves or are they worried about the past or the present? Maybe people are too conscious about what other people thinks. Reunion is simply about meeting up old friend from schools and that’s it. Let bygones be bygones and nobody will notice any details.

      So if your next reunion comes around, don’t worry unnecessarily. Let the hair down and (try to) have fun. 🙂

      jason – maybe you should say, “because i got no money to do liposuction like you lor!”

      yuin – i suppose its opposite for guys and girls.

      lucia – to which you should swing your bag with the brick inside at them.

      anjali – “sorry aa? victoria’s secret bought out my underwear design for USD24mil, so i can’t wear them now…”

      lilian – but kampung fishmonger also can be filthy rich now eh…

      mahagurusia – ok, maybe i’ll go and flash my new silver mercedes CLK at them…

      yvy – but that’s kind of shallow of them right?

      inevitable – tell him “thin better than fat, right?”

      sexymama – you should say, “you want a hole in your face now or not?!”

      I always have a Form 5 class reunion during CNY every year, and year after year they say I still look the same 🙂

      The most embarrassing thing about class reunions is forgetting your friends’ names!
