SIC Sisters Bonding

"True friends are like diamonds—bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style..." - Nicole Richie

(SIC hostel sisters)

Soul sisters make the best partners in crime and the most loyal allies.

That weekend when we arrived home from our Acheh trip we planned to spring clean our Putramas apartment before Sara and family came to stay for a week. But when the SIC sisters made plan to visit Kak Hamidah who came visiting her children in Cyberjaya I promised to join them. I have not met Kak Hamidah for over 50 years since we left the hostel.

We had a good time catching up and reminisced our younger years. Soul sisters share a sacred bond of trust, loyalty, and unwavering support that only strengthens with time.

SMKB gang at Satay Kajang

" A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity..."

(Celebrating Nik Arif's homecoming)

Today, hubby and I took the MRT Kajang Line from Sungai Buluh Station to Kajang to meet up with my childhood friends from SMKB. The journey took approximately 77 minutes with  30 stops in between, which was quite tiring for people at our age. Next time if we go to Kajang, we would rather drive.

We met at Restoran Satay Samuri and had a good time catching up. They were my friends way back since the early 70's and we were in the Scouts together. Those were the days when we looked after each other and were always available for each other through sad and happy times. Over the years, we lost some who were very close to us.

Good friends are like a four-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have...
