Monticle Christmas Reunion Party

For many of us, it has been a long time since we’ve seen each other. Some of our Monticle family gathered at HQ today for a reunion party with delicious food and fun and games, but the best part was to simply enjoy each other’s company. The party brought together students from all of the previous years of events along with friends and family members. We admired the new interior of HQ, with its lovely Monticle Yellow walls and new furnishings. We had fun gaming and playing foosball and just catching up with each other.

We fell in step like there had been no gap of time between us at all. It is difficult to capture in words the feeling of being in the presence of people that you’ve grown close to, a family that you’ve become a part of, and even more difficult to describe the reunion with these people. You don’t really realize how much you’ve missed the atmosphere of energy that comes from it, and now that the holidays have arrived, it was a great event to unwind and relax at.

We said goodbye to Alvin today and hope he has a good vacation back home in HK. Finally, his plane was able to leave today after a harrowing 20 hour delay!

We were not able to skype with our dear overseas students, unfortunately. Tiff, we thank you so much for your lovely cards! And to the rest of our family that was unable to attend, you were missed, but we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas…..

And a happy new year!

Happy Holidays!
