Happy New Year!
Remember that feeling?
Walking into a room and instantly feeling like you belong. That inside joke needs no explanation. That conversation picks up right where it left off — even if it has been years.
We're gathering in three cities--three chances to reconnect with the people who shaped your YCYW years, and to meet the ones who'll shape what comes next.
No awkward small talk; no forced networking. Just good people, real stories, and the kind of connections that reminds you why "Alumni for Life" isn't just a slogan.
Your city. Your friends. Your fresh start for 2026.
🇸🇬Singapore | Where It All Begins
Friday, 9 January 2026 | 19:00–21:00
📍Secret venue (Trust us; it's worth it — details will be sent after registration)
💰$50 per person (pay as you go)Imagine this:
The clink of glasses; laughter spilling over from the next table; someone saying, "Wait, you were in that cohort?" A lucky draw winner screaming; and that group photo where everyone actually looks happy.
Hosted by: Mr Dan Sun and Ms Le Xin Ang
They have got the venue, the vibes, and probably some embarrassing stories about you.
