Caught up with a gang of friends I got to know from the aerobic step class at Toa Payoh SAFRA in 2003. How time flies. We’d known each other for almost 10 years and kept in touch all this while over dinners even though the class had been disbanded.
Here’s our celebration of health, friendship and gluttony throughout the years…
Christmas themed class in 2003 where we bring on the festivities by wearing something green or red. I was all green like the Grinch.
Botak! That’s what the class instructress, Fiona, called me for the earlier part of 2004 when I went skinhead. This photo was taken during a Chinese New Year dinner gathering.
Christmas 2005 dinner gathering at The Vines restaurant at Novena.
Chinese New Year 2006 zichar dinner at a coffeeshop in Toa Payoh.
Dinner gathering to celebrate birthdays in 2007 at the bungalow of one of the step class members.
The feasting continues with a Chinese New Year dinner in 2008.
Spicing things up at a Thai restaurant along Kiliney Road in 2010.
2012 dinner gathering at Medzs, Millenia Walk.
Celebrate Life Lah!

Hi Darren,
I managed to stumble upon your blog through referrals and have been pleasantly surprised. Your lifestyle and travel blog are both charming and thoughtful. If you don’t mind me asking..what exactly do you work as as you seem to be able to travel every month so I would imagine it’s not a corporate job where you only have a few weeks leave. Possibly self employed?
Best regards,
Joshua
