“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means...” - Oscar Wilde
Last Saturday I met up for lunch with two of my long lost friends, kid and Bee at KLCC.
For nearly 4 hours, we talked, laughed and cried, mused over our life stories, old and recent. I knew both of them since in the early 60’s and we were in the same class, same schools from standard one till form five. Then after we went our separate ways, pursued our studies and careers, fell in and out of love several times, got married and have children. We have gone through the past without regret, and hopefully will prepare the future without fear. We went through life’s ups and downs and survived.
Only after nearly 30 years, we met up and became closest of friends all over again.
p.s. Between the 3 of us, we have a daughter named Sara, what a coincidence...'

CikMilah,
ReplyDeleteMasya-Allah, small world ye.
Senator U tu one of my Big-5 geng masa sekolah dulu. We were together since form 1 to form 5 and had gone through adolescence together. Her aruah husband was our classmate too. Yes, will write about the YB and the geng, with her consent of course.
She’s busy with the bi-elections, I’ll be seeing her in KL later next week.

Kak Nong...bila bercakap pasal kawan2 sekolah masa lalu...anie dah lama tak jumpa kawan2 sekolah...biar pun yang sekampung...masing2 dah berhijrah ke tempat lain...
ReplyDeleteBertahun2 tak jumpa mengundang rindu pada saat2 bersama...
Anie,
ReplyDeleteKak Nong pun baru sekarang menjejak balik kawan2 sekolah dulu. Semua dah punya anak2 yang besar2. Dan ramai juga yang dah bercucu...
Masa berlalu dengan cepat, dan usia kita makin meningkat...
Salam Nong,
ReplyDeleteI am sure the three of you maintain gitu.At your age tak nampak pun any spare tyres.Keep it up.
Memang seronok jumpa old friends, sharing stories of good old days..
Then barulah nampak how silly we were sometimes.I get to keep in touch with ex students and old friends through this blogsphere..
Madam,
ReplyDeleteKalau pakai baju kurung kurang lah sikit nampak yang spare tyres tu. Baju kebaya dah lama tak leh pakai :)
Memang seronok jumpa kawan lama. Kami semua dulu memang nakal2, a lot of shared secrets between us...
Dear Big Five,
ReplyDeleteMinutes and hours have passed by ..we, alhamdulillah are still around. To be in part of the designated journey to Allah. As we move on ....we learnt and began to understand what really matter most in our lives are what really matters to Allah. we ..do our part of the bargain and Allah perpetually showers His blessings as He designs our path to Him . Let us pray that, our designated journey only lead to His utmost approval and welcomed end of the journey. Allah has crossed our paths together...and look , what beauty Has He kept for us....when we reach our 50’s.....
love u guys,
Babee

ReplyDeleteBabee,
ReplyDeleteI wish that we have more time to reminisce. I miss both Ubai and Ani. I am trying to get Ani's e-mail so that she will be in the loop of happenings.
I know YB is busy with the bi-elections, most probably celebrating with the team. Hope to see her in KL soon. Will let u and kid know once confirmed.

ReplyDeleteSo after some cyber travels and a couple of off cyber calls, i'm at yr page. Nice to get a peep at you and Mus.
I'm no blogger, but you can see me at anakcucusitipura.blogspot.com. Ani must have told you abt the get-together we grandpas are planning. Babe will follow with you on this.
Kirim salam kat Mus, giv him a big kick if he don't remember me.
Just in case ; harun.muhamed@gmail.com
Baru visit this page, guess by end of the day i'll browse all.
Tok Ngah,
ReplyDeleteHarun?
Wow! it's good to hear from you. I heard from Ani and Babee about the get together. Pls let me know and of course i'll join in, by hook or by crook. Of course these grandmas will want to meet the long lost grandpas right? Teringat kisah lama...
Mus has already retired since last year and now a con-man, i mean, doing part-time consulting he he. I'm retiring soon too...
Drop me a comment and keep in touch.
