Evolution of Club 25

My BFFs and I go way back. One of our favourite things to do when most of us were still in school and full of energy is.. take photos!

2005
When I was still wearing spectacles

2006
When Vivocity just opened and the roof pool was the coolest thing ever

2007
With our carefree cell group

2008
When I was at my thinnest I think. Try as I might, I could never fit back into that blue dress in the bottom right.. *sob*

2009
Polaroid of us in one of our favourite hangouts, when I was already pregnant with Girlee

2010
One of our meetups with my baby girl

2011
Girls night out at Artease @ Esplanade and Wild Honey @ Mandarin Gallery

2012
Various meetups and celebrations

2013
 My first announcement of my pregnancy with Baby Boy to the girls (top right) and my very pregnant belly (left);
If you look carefully, you'll see that there were 2 preggies in the polaroids =)

It's heartening to know that nothing much has changed since then except that nowadays, our selfies include a tripod, a selfie stick and elaborate phones and high resolution cameras. And babies.

2014
With 2 of 3 kids at the Marina Bay area

On our way to Gardens by the Bay via the Helix Bridge and Marina Bay Sands

So lucky that Baby Boy has baby friends his age to grow up with!
This one is/will be his 青梅竹马 (qing mei zhu ma), a Chinese idiom for a boy and a girl growing up and playing together since childhood

Gardens by the Bay

We took this using my Olympus OMD and a tripod

Shots of the kids

So many expressions

Left: The youngest and only single of us;
Right: The 1st time expecting mom. I think she looks radiant!

Two in our hands, 1 in the stomach and counting
(Technically still got one more but she's in school)

These are the kind of girls you can count on when you need a good group photo in a compromised position..

Grass Selfie
(This photo looks good right but it was not easy getting all to lie down on the damp grass)

Sky Selfie

Our group photo
(So hard to get both kids looking at the camera!)

Discovered this back alley that is great for photos but we couldn't stay long as there were a lot of flies!

I think it's safe to say that my boy likes selfies (side effects of being a blogger's kid)!

Our usual selfie polaroid to end the day

Babies and adults alike were exhausted at the end of the day! But I love how the photos turned out! Looking forward to more photos to add to the memories as we go along =)

Oh, and why Club 25?

Because 3 out of 4 of us got married at 25 (and were pregnant with our first child at 26)! We're still hoping for the last one to do so in the next 2 years but she is adamant that she'll only get married at 30..

Oh well, you'll never know =P
