Bangkok Bank revisited !

I am reproducing a comment from an ex student of mine in my other block here.

 
 "Thank you for bringing back the memoirs of Bangkok Bank SLG. It was more of a playground than a class. We ditched the manual provided by the school and the "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" sitcom was our practical and effective learning tool!
The "Valentine Project" was my first exposure to entrepreneurship. With the cooperation among us, we made RM1.2K in 3 days! (Thanks to Ina's price reduction idea on the last day of the sale)
We couldn't have make it without the support from Mr. Gab, Mr. Mohan, Piere & his wife, Naili's Place and you.
And lots of praise to Ayu for her creativity. Who would forget the Valentine Candies packed in the handmade red mini paper bag?
Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'll never end."

Yes - all good things must come to an end, in reality - but the memories can remain in you forever.

Those were the days --by Mary Hopkins

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remmber how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do.

Chorus: Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever and a day
We'd live the life we'd Choose
We'd fight and never lose
Fore we were young and sure to have our way......
La la la la la la la la la. 
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way.
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Chorus 
 

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

Chorus

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same...

Chorus
