If there's anything good about fb and whatsapp groups is that they bring childhood friends together.
Jag (or Dishi as we used to call her at school) is back for Xmas hols in Msia.She's migrated to Melbourne and in those days in Raub, you don't just know your friend but your sisters and your friends sisters or brothers were all wired.We knew most of our friends' parents as well regardless of race and religion.Time lapar or haus, kita makan dan minum selamba je kat rumah kawan2. We would be respectful of our religious diet e.g if they visited my home during raya..no beef rendang would be served. Fui..nostalgic gila bila ingat.
So yesterday some of us got together after work and had high tea at the Apartment at KLCC Suria.Not many could make it.About 5. We kept shifting location..there would be more if we met at PJ Hilton.Alas..Jag does not drive so we settled for KLCC. It must have looked odd seeing us screaming and hugging each other: me in tudung, Jessica, Lay Har, Annabelle (who had just touched down from holidaying in Sri Lanka) and Jag, now looking very blonde. Jag was against each of us ordering individual meal because there would be a lot of wastage she said.So we shared food (itu pun tak habis).Wow, must remember this.So the bill came very cheap.Unbelievable!
We had fun talking silly of our past.We went to kindy together..a lot to be grateful for for keeping the friendship this long.Showed our pics to my friends at work.Mei said oh your friends look gorgeous, what skincare do you guys use.I said all Raub people look like that..it is the happiest place in Msia (keluar dlm paper, ok?) and since it has emas, penduduknya tidak perlu menjadi wargamas!Mei said the next time she bumped into us, she would scrape our skin for gold.Haha.
It is my birthday week so a lot of activities with friends and relatives.Watch this space.
