After Reunion
Thanks for sharing all those wonderful photos on the blog. How amazing that after 31 years, we are still connected as we were at school.
I am so very grateful for having all of you as my classmates!
Let's use this blog to keep up with one another. I propose we'd post some up-to-date basic information (no personal phone numbers or email address though) about ourselves and our families (including photos). Lin Lih-jane and Aurora Chiang have already done so.
Tell us what you've been doing -- your family, work, hobbies...etc. Send pictures, of course. Spread the words; volunteer others is strongly encouraged!

Dear Isabel and all;
I just came back from Pasadena, California, where my younger son is a freshman. We joined the freshman parent's orientation, that we leaned about the academia life and dorm life of the students.
It is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever visited Kangway is lucky to be there!!
The entire undergraduate has only 900 students, which reminded me of our "Elite Old Wen Tzao", where everybody knew everybody and the principal and our teachers could call our names.
Don't you miss that? Sometimes, I really wish it has maintained its elitness, petiness and cleaness....etc. Nostagia, nostagia again. (of course, who will not miss the rice patties that showed us the season;the canteen that we purchased our Siao Mei Icecream; the ditch that Mr. Soto fell from his motocycle while looking at girls; the mangos trees that Isabel used to throw stones at; the secret hidden corner that Ana used to hide a few minutes before the exams.. the iron gate that I used to curse when I could not go out, feeling like prisoner...)....
Well, Wen Tzao has changes, and we shall give our blessing to our Alma Mater.
SL has many classmates in sourthern California, and two of the classmates arranged a mini-reunion for us. They hosted the party at their amazing fragrant garden surrounded by ripe persimmons, oranges, grapefruits, apple trees. The weather was perfect, with full moon hanging on the clear blue night sky. We watched a short film ourdoor that some classmates took fifteen years ago, while the kids were little and running around. It was as much fun as looking at these old pictures from Wen Tzao times.
Well, California is indeed a golden state. I know many of you live there. Enjoy it. We will save it for retirement.
Eugenia, you shall come visit California, sometimes, it reminds me of Pintong, your hometown, where palm trees and fruits are growing happy and tall.
Honey, I don't remember the name of the girl that I mentioend, but she majored in enviromental engineering, not machanical.
Aurora, you are fortunate to meet Ursula's daughter, who is the sweetest girl I have met.
Your daughter looks like an authentic copy of the "young Aurora".Remember our Miss Espana-- The choice of Senor Soto.
Catalina, while I was walking on the streets in Pasadena, near our hotel, Sheroton, I saw a street called, Catalina. So, I was right, when I wrote about "Pasadena and Catalina".
Well, thanks for reading.

感謝妳費心給班上聊天的空間,讓我們的感情更緊密
下週登山社到阿里山,屬於輕鬆行,少了妳們家人陣容似乎小多了

各位好
打開電腦,沒在部落格留幾句話,好像今天什事都沒做
因學姊上台北陪先生,我就偷懶沒去拼布,下午到附近書店享樂寧靜氣氛,配上優美音樂,讓我久久無法忘懷,偶而傳出悅耳熟悉的西語歌曲哇!快暈過去....
從書店看到好吃的地方,為了滿足口慾,今早下班後跑兩個市場,竟然滿載而歸,佩玲,阿蜜下回得改變"戰場"了,吃一碗當歸鴨和八寶冰差點漲死....阿杜,高雄比美國好玩呢!至少菜市場很多(真沒品)<<<>>>

快把滷豆干及醃小黃瓜的祕方(製作方法及材料用量)寫出來,我有興趣做看看,妳之前口述的老人家已忘光了,我想應有些同學也會試試看 -- 功德無量 --

阿蜜及好友们
小豆干5斤,冰糖,油醬,油1碗,甘草,八角少許
將材料放入鍋煮1小時,要不停翻炒OK
小黃瓜5斤,醬油,工研白醋,冰糖各300克
將小黃瓜洗淨切1公分長,放入調味料中,(先煮滾)分兩次殺青,關火撈出,水滾再放第二批,重複兩次,最後調味料再煮滾,放涼,拌入黃瓜,再放冰箱,汁不可丟,可煮湯或蒸魚
殺青時約滾3-5分即可
下次見面成果驗收,我要去做瑜珈了,10點後再聊

看看Lolita及梅瑾兩位不必整天上班,時間自由又可到處逛逛的,真令人羨慕,我如要等退休要到民國104年,我60歲時,說不定那天我提早退休了.
各位,在祝母校生日快樂的comment裏,有于媽媽榨醬麵的做法,有興趣的可上去看看.說不定那天,可編一本GS5食譜.
BTW為什麼Lolita可寫那麼長?我寫長時,似乎空間被擋?有什縻祕訣?

Dear Rita:
Do you remember my famous saying:
All my friends are talking about retirement but my career hasn't started it yet. My career is no career.
Nowadays, I spend most of my time reading, writing and translating. I try to read in three languages.
Have you heard that when you speak your mother tongue, it is as easy as breathing; when you speak a foreign language, it is as though you are swimming. I am not a good swimmer so by the time I go to sleep, I am always very tired.
Well, I have a dream to publish a bilingual poetry in translation. I am trying to translate my favorite Spanish and Latinamerican poets.
Rita,
Check your computer. I have no problem writing longer comments. The only thing is I can enlarge the outer frame, but not the inner fram. Check with some computer experts about this problem.
Good luck.
Lolita

I wonder
I wonder
how many classmates have visited this blog.
I wonder
why I spent so much time viewing those pictures.
I wonder
why some of you never leave a message.
I wonder
why I wonder....

Some may not know about this blog, so friends, please inform your friends by phone.
Some may not know how to access the blog. Ana Maria Ku, for one, told me that she is tech challenged. So, someone in Taipei may want to show her "how".
Some may be too busy. For sure, not everyone is as free as Maria Eugenia and Lolita.
Yet
this blog is patient;
it awaits quietly for
your visit;
just once (at least)
till our next rendezvous.
Isabel
