Interacting with the retirees

I was at Kovan hawker food center to meet some SIA retired ground staff but accidentally bumped into a few retired IFS there. I joined them for a while before the ground staff appeared. We had an hour of chatting plus few cups of coffee and tea. The IFS were all in their early 60s and full of zest for living. They participated in the chats actively and the only thing that betrayed their age was the wrinkles on their faces.
After an hour, I left them and joined the ground staff who were regular kakis at this place. These retirees religiously meet each other twice a week to have drinks and meals together for the last 10 years. I used to join them when I left the airline in 2003 for a while but not anymore after I became more occupied with my work.
Nevertheless, It was nice meeting the two groups. I did not snap any photo as most are quite sensitive about them appearing in my blog.
