MAYATS reunion

Me and my friends (The MAYATS family) finally had a reunion with our founder member 'M' in December. OK, let me explain... MAYATS is the malay word for corpse. We are a family of corpse-like people who greet each other with an expression of 'doosh'. For those interested, you can check out our facebook group from my page. Each alphabet stood for an initial in our names.
.
M-Me (referring to Hsin-hui the founder)
A- Ann
Y- Yen (for Shin Yen)
A - Anne (for Sue Anne)
T - Wendy ( for Wendy Tan)
S - Sheau Ching
.
Later , some of our other close friends were included into this core family and we became an extended family (the word FAMILY being added)
.
F - Felicia
A - Au Yong (Jeremy's surname)
M - Mayat ( Jye Sheng's nickname cos he looked like one)
I - Kingston (there were no other alphabets for him LOL)
L - Ling (Janita's Chinese name)
Y - Ying (Chui Ying)
.
Oh yes, our founder Hsin hui came back for a visit and some of us got to meet up with him. It is almost impossible to have a full MAYATS FAMILY gathering. 7 of us are in Singapore, 1 in Malaysia, 2 in London , 1 in the Netherlands and 1 recovering in hospital. Anyway, really glad to see Hsin Hui again, cos he's like a brother...always concerned about our well-beings. This time he was back, we had some doubts about his 'single status' but he remained pretty tight-lipped in front of everybody. =P He's a Hainanese from Pahang, just like Shin Yen and me. This time he was back, he was surprised to see his hometown submerged under flood waters... he almost had to resort to taking jets meant for dropping food reliefs home cos the roads back home were closed.
.

Ahh... a photo of M A Y A T and another A holding the camera. The extra guy in the photo is our future MAYAT-in-law... LOL! Our latest topic of discussion revolved around a mysterious laptop, hospitals and other strange things. The next time we'll see M again would probably be November 2008.
