Things You Must Not Say When You Reunite With Your Old Schoolmates

Say you wanna meet up with your old schoolmates, after 2 years apart and you guys are going to have a gathering somewhere and here are the things which one must not say during the gathering.
“YOU ARE STILL THE SAME”
Please make it clear that what does your “same” mean, back then in 2 years maybe I have a fugly look and in these 2 years time I realize that I should have a makeover of my face and I feel that I look damn good and there you are throwing “YOU ARE STILL THE SAME” on my face?! Do you know how to spell these words “YOU ARE STILL UGLY!” ?
“OMG YOUR PIMPLES/ACNE/BLACK HEADS/WRINKLES/ EYEBAGS/ DARK CIRCLES”
Hello, unless you graduated from any beauty academy, otherwise pointing out people’s flaws on the skin is a big TABOO!!! You may have a smooth skin on your face and who knows you have rashes all over your asses so try to be nice to people, it’s not like we want those pimples to come to us, it just happened and your “OMG YOUR ___(fill in the blanks)___” is definitely going to hurt a lot of the vain pots out there so if you see someone with eyebags bigger than the teabags, remember that it’s not what he/she asked for so zip it!
“WHAT DID YOU GET FOR YOUR UPSR/PMR/SPM/STPM/O-LEVELS”
Nobody gives a shit about history okay? What is over is OVER, why must you ask about people’s result? Will that particular information helps improving your result? Or will it make you wiser? But definitely we don’t want to bring up the history, say 16 schoolmates gather and I’m sure 6 ot 7 do not perform well in their academics and do you wanna see them committing suicide when the rest are flaunting their flying colors? Don’t try this!
“HAHAHA I REMEMBER YOU USED TO BE PUNISHED BY MR.(Enter Strict-like-hell discipline teacher’s name)”
Yada yada, so it’s funny to see people get punished or tortured? What are you? Too engrossed with sadomasochism? Let me tell you what, you are one selfish little tweety bird! How can you laugh at people when people are bearing that humiliation when they are whipped, have their hair cut by freak discipline teacher?
“I AM NOT FEELING GOOD TODAY, SIGH”
This is a gathering for God’s sake, and this is a REUNION and we are supposed to sit down and exchange some gossips and be happy for today and there you are showing your sad face throughout the activity? If you know shit happens then tell your friends that you can’t turn up and why must you let us share your depression and the reunion becomes re-ONION and everyone has to cry for you?
(p/s: If the “I’m not feeling good” comes out because of emergency then we have to understand that person, other than that, NO MERCY!)
“OH YOU KNOW, JENNY IS CHANGING BOYFRIEND AGAIN”
Bore someone else with your Jenny story, now if Jenny is a nerdy girl in highschool and it takes 109 years for a guy to court her and finally she becomes a slut, then we are interested to know, but if Jenny is proven to be a damn slut in High school, why must you include her in the topics? It’s not like we don’t know her characteristics? UNLESS you shock us with “Jenny gets raped again!”, then we will ask why and we will try to put on our thinking caps and temporarily be like a detective to solve the case.
“AH! I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO SOLVE THE BIOLOGY QUESTION 2 YEARS AGO! IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE CHROMOSOME …”
Wooo!!! Should we arrange a big party to celebrate your intelligence? Hey, we don’t need any biology class during the gathering okay? Don’t run outta track!
So there you go, things that you shouldn’t say when you’re attending a reunion, according to ME. Do you have anything to add on? And I’m so glad that a lot of people commented in my previous “Friendster” post. I’ve replied all your comments there. And again, I need your support, tada!
PUAHAHAHA once again true true ……..
well i somehow finds it wierd that my highschool/form six friends is so difficult to be contacted for a reunion …… not to mention in KL ……. even when i’m back in Penang ……. to meet them is like a big mission have to drive miles to somewhere near their place, then wait for them to appear …… den minutes pass definately one or two sms …..” oh sorry my XXX this my XXX that i cant come ….. see you next time”
and truthfully i’ll just shuddup in meet ups cuz they mention topics like u’ve wrote………… extra one ……. “OMG LYNDY! HOW COME U SO ROUND!! ANY BOYFRIEND??!!” …… ok shuddup ….
well i wonder if other’s friends are semangat enough for meetups?
my new college friends are ……. not my highschool friends tough T^T
“HOW MUCH IS YOUR SALARY??”
That’s for the first reunion after uni graduation -_-
Max: Hahahahahaha I neglected the point, maybe because I’m not working so yeah, I didn’t know that they would ask about the salary too! :P
Lyndy: To tell you the truth, I’ve never had a good relationship with my schoolmates, I just can’t click with them, first of all, they are damn conservative (what to do? Chinese culture), and secondly most of them dislike me. LOL Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. Haha
i beg to differ coz my situation is kinda different from urs.
i come from kuching n since the colleges in kuching are nothing to shout about, most of us leave kuching after form5. (which explains why im in kdu)
so with so many of us in various parts of the world (uk, usa, aussie) we find it extremely difficult to meet up.
as for those ppl that lyndy mentioned, if they cant be sincere about meeting up, then they’re not worth meeting up with!
haha….i emphatise wif u on the 2nd point. it really hurts, doesnt it, when ppl point out that u hv pimples/wrinkles/eyebags/grown fat etc etc after ages of not seeing each other. they never know how to keep their mouth shut. next time, jus reply ‘yah, thanks, same to u too.’ it works. haha.
Yea…Somehow it is harder to mix with your high school friends unless of course you guys are like buddies. I know my friends are complaining that it is hard to meet up with me cause I am currently doing my form 6 but I tell you, no strength la. Everyday, go home, do homework, no time to study also, some more muz take lots of post because we want our school leaving certificate to be nice. So work overload lar. Plus when they are having their holiday, its usually our exam or school day and vice-versa. Pening.
As I still contact my close friends often, we don’t meet up and say each other round or got bf or ask about their studies cause we already know. But one thing we should never ever mention is the embarrassing moments lar. I bet you don’t want people to remind you about it anymore, especially when you have new friends around or something. And never ever leave you high school friends too long when you saw your current friend. Say hie, if possible, introduce them to each other and then, leave. If you want to talk to your new friend, do it some other time. That’s what I think.
Ping Ping: Hanoh, embarrassing moment still mention for what? Already said “EMBARRASSING” but some people still wanna dig out the history and laugh at each other. Oh shiet betul! A gathering is meant to have all the fun and we really don’t want any anti climax!
Dolphyn: Some thought that it’s fun to criticize people like that, but actually we can turn around and say, “hey! I have things you dont have! Jealous already? Haha”
Amy: awwwww…. that is sad huh to leave Kuching after graduated, well my post simply points out things that we should avoid saying to prevent spoiling the party. And you’re right, if it’s not sincere, might as well just cancel it!
agrees with Ping Ping …….. the embarassing moments and hate it most eventough re-union …… should discuss bout hows life nowadays blah blah updating each other right?
………. NO ……….. they’re mostly discussing and talking bout hows their life with their partners etc ….. T^T
well Amy ….. yeah wanted to cancel it …. but if i’m the one who cancel it, it’ll be a reason for them to blame me for not being the sincere one
……… dowan to kira much with them lah~
kesian u friends all far far away T^T
I think the word “What is your job now?” & “How much is your salary?” questions always threw out from their BIG mouth ler!
But the only fact is, they all like to do compare. So is really sianz when having a gathering with X-classmates
Anston: Personally i feel that “What is your job now” is not really that bad, at least it’s a ‘futuristic’ question if I wanna put it, instead of digging out the embarrassing moments.
Lyndy: If a gathering is about “oh how sweet me and my boyfriend is”. Please cancel it, you can ask them to hold a press conference somewhere in the jungle and start talking. Haha
I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding , but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong
