Long lost friends.... Found!

At times I often wondered what happen to some of my old friends .. you know.. people I knew throughout my life. I try my very best to contact them in anyway I can... although I had some pretty bad responds and even no responds at all. I try my best not to take things too personally and I train myself to put things behind and not hold a grudge... seriously it's not worth getting all stressed about. Once it's over ... It's over ok... the next best step is to start fresh!

I've had lots of best friends while growing up. Some of them live too far away, we hardly see each other and there are some friends that just LEAVES!!!.... Anyway, I know they are busy with life, work and family.. I totally understand that, but you know what... it's so nice to know that you still have friends out there.

Two weeks ago, I received an email from Michelle. Her name use to be Diana obviously she changed it, but I still prefer calling her Camel coz thats her choosen name!!.... Anyway, we studied together in secondary school. We were inseparable that is when she was awake...heheheh, in fact.. we were the most coolest people in our own world...hehehe. Michelle had a great personality, she was smart, funny, insane and a clown all rolled into one. We had a lot of fun together and it drove people nuts. Sadly for some unknown reason we went separate ways right after school ended, strange enough we live less then 300m away. I never heard from her for 12 years., so it was really unexpected when I received her email. She wanted to stay in touch, of coz I was over joyed. It felt really great and I am so looking forward to just hang out or just have tea at the usual mamak shop. Michelle called me last Sunday and we chat for a while. She sounds exactly the same from what I can remember... still cussing! She is the only one I know who uses the word "F@#K You" and "Bloody hell" in every sentence when she is pissed:o) no no wait a minute.... everyone I knew spoke like that!!!

Yesterday, when I was doing my gerocery shopping with my mother I stumbled into another old friend.. Wan! I met her when I was 19 years old. I often hang out at the shop near by after work everyday... and opposite the shop was this skinny tom boy working at a construction/renovation company and managing her burger stall at the same time. She seem friendly from where I was sitting. Until one day when I went to the shop to buy the news paper and it was the last Malay Mail there... we both wanted to buy it but I let her have it.. she sat with me at the stair case and was kind enough to share the news paper. We became good friends ever since. Wan also had a great personallity and a very interesting past. She was unusual in her own way but I understod her very well. Then one day she just dissapeared, I was worried if something had happen to her but no one knew where she was.... I really hate it when friends dissapear!!!... Months went by then she called and told me that she moved in with her boyfriend Richard (nice elderly british dude). Once I knew she was ok and well taken cared of... I stopped worrying about her coz I knew she was going to be ok. We kind of lost contact for a while then I called her again to see how she was doing. Wan and Richard settled down and they had a son, Henry. That was the last I heard from her. It was fate that we bumped into each other yeaterday. I usually dont go gerocery shopping on Saturdays, but I felt the need to just go so that I can rest on Sunday for a change. According to Wan, She saw me from the back but wasn't sure it was really me. I turned around immediately recognized her.. she hasn't changed one bit. We exchanged hugs and was really overwelmed. I finally got to meet Henry and he is 9 years old now. He got her looks and he is so handsome. I gave them a lift back to their place arranged to meet up one of these days. It's such a small world.. I can't believe it.

My sister and her family is coming to visit today.. it's the school holidays so they will be here for a week. and there is also a big chance my brother in Singapore is also bringing his family over this week... It's going to be one hell of a reunion and I am looking forward to it. It's been a really good month for me.. things are really going great...

Until my next blog... Adios!
