KST FOREVER??

Before we embrace KST Forever, will KST last forever. We will see.

Before KST can actually last forever, it has to go through five important tests. Only triumph over these tests will create KST Forever.

The first test, which will be starting very soon, is the PRE – UNIVERSITY TEST. When KST members went to INTEC, Form 6, private colleges or even private universities, will we get together again? Will we be engrossed in our work and forget who is Peter, Yin Ling and everybody else? The “survivors” of this test will be entitled to advance to the second test.

The second test will be the UNDERGRADUATE TEST. Some KST members may even get a sponsorship for overseas studies. By that time, in that 3-7 years span, will KST members lose contact with each other? Can MSN continue the noble job or even technology cannot bring us together? Will some of us even forget the existence of KST? Survivors, as usual, if there are any, will advance to the third test.

The third test will be the POSTGRADUATE TEST. Most KST members will be working or some of them will continue their Masters before coming out into the working world. At that transition period that will be undoubtedly filled with mess and hectic schedules, will KST members have time for other KST associates? Then, the more important thing is will they be befriending documents and files instead of resuming this old friendship? Survivors, if there are any, will advance to the fourth test.

Fourth test is a very exclusive and hard test. This test is really testing the takers. It is the MARITAL TEST. Will KST members get into love complications and end up losing contact with each other? If KST members do not get into that, can they still continue the friendship after their marriage? As they will have their own families, do they have time for each other as friends? Will Peter and Patrick still be seeing each other after 20 years or so? Or will Yin Nin and Yin Ling continue as best buddies after that same period? Time will decide. The survivors, if there are ANY, will advance to the ultimate challenge.

The fifth and ultimate test has NO deadline. TIME will decide. Yes…..time. The final challenge is the TIME TRIAL. The survivors of the first four tests will have surely go through a lot of difficulties, problems and trials. This final test will see if time becomes the strengthening factor or the destroying factor. As time flies, will KST members be bored of the friendship or their friendship will become so strong that this happens after 50 years :

Daphne : Yin Nin, do you have time this Saturday? Let’s go out for a tea.
Yin Nin : Sure. So, the OLD place? What time?
Daphne : Let’s make it 11am.
Yin Nin : Sure. Let’s call Peter, Kee Huong and Albert together if they are not busy.
Daphne : Okay, sure. What about Patrick, Yin Ling, Yee Leng and Nooi Hoay?
Yin Nin : Hah, I forgot about them. How forgetful I am? Okay then. See ya.
Daphne : See you then. I will do the inviting.

Only the survivors of all these tests will create a FOREVER type of friendship. Will KST members live up to that? I will leave it to KST members to ponder. Just for thoughts and for us to appreciate each and every second when we are together now before we face the first nail-biting test.
