I was in Muar for the Chinese New Year holiday and on the 2nd day of CNY, I "bumped" into one of my old school friend - Gilbert Chan, while I was taking a walk around town. He told me that some of our old classmates will be at his house that same afternoon. That to me was a rather normal get-together until he told me that some of our old Malay friends are actually coming down from KL.
I was actually very excited to have the chance to see them again after almost 29 years!! At 3 pm, I made my way to Gilbert's house in Jalan Daud and guess what - I actually met about 10 of my old classmates that I have not seen for almost 3 decades.
What made it so special was the fact that, this group of Malay friends made a special trip down to Muar - they car-pooled - to visit us during the Chinese New Year celebration.
We were literally enjoying each other's company for the following 3 hrs - sharing our current status and remembering the good old school days ...
I am just wondering why the politicians are playing up all the race issues - emmmm ...
Looks to me that it is all about making an effort to reach out.
In this picture, Sabar is seated on the left and Adib is on the right. among the rest are Bahar, Lufti, Firdaus and more.
That's me with my old friends - everyone has either gain weight or lose hair!!Also, we are planning to meet again in June - hope to see more friends.
