Our alumni in London gathered for a cocktail reception on Friday, 7 April at Red & White, the in-house restaurant of Latham & Watkins LLP. Special thanks must go to Jayanthi Sadanandan ’95, Managing Partner of Latham & Watkins’ London office, for graciously hosting the reception together with our Dean, Professor Simon Chesterman. The warm and cosy event provided a fantastic opportunity for alumni to network and to meet up with faculty members including Professor M Sornarajah, Ms Rachel Leow ’11, Mr Timothy Liau ’14 and Mr Ivan Lee ’14. Many lingered to enjoy the good company and conversation way past dinnertime. We look forward to celebrating with many more alumni at our upcoming 60th anniversary events this year!

Nostalgia struck early on the evening of our 25th anniversary as several organising committee members struggled to carry the large anniversary cake from the Suntec bakery across the Nicoll Highway to the Alchemist Beer Lab at South Beach. This brought back memories of doing manual chores prepping for Law Orientation, and set the tone for the evening. The 70-odd attendees (special thanks to those who made the trip from Japan, Hong Kong, Brunei, Malaysia etc) probably felt transported back to our Law School days and we became the 20-something year olds again as we reminisced, laughed and teased one another.
