Reunited

Maya in Kak An's make up class
I had a great time in these 2days, being reunited with my high school besties; Fazlin and Haslina. we have been besties since 13-14years ago..yes, that far back. I will not lie that we did have our distance and disconnection due to living away from Malaysia, studying, family and working. But after all these years we manage to keep in touch and keep our friendship close and dear to our heart. Seeing them after so long, there was no second of awkwardness. The laughter, jokes, antics, conversations were like we never left high school.

I remembered the day that I cried my eyes out when Fazlin left for US with her family. Don't know why but the song Don't Speak by No Doubt always brought me back to that day we said goodbyes. And I remember the day I had the best ayam masak merah at Haslina's house and exchanging novels after school.

They are the testimony of my happy and dramatic childhood. We went through old letters and pictures, and the memories were so fresh that it felt that we were in our white and blue baju kurung just yesterday. How we make fun of kids that we don't like or blush when we see kids that we like a li'l too much, teachers that had special nicknames and high school flings that we stumbled into.

I think I am still the one they love to pick on (mangsa buli), Fazlin is still the guy magnet (si cantik..is it?) and Haslina is forever the one with witty one-liner that can make me rolling in laughter (raja lawak..hehe). After 10-ish years, Fazlin is now a proud mother of little princess Maya, Haslina is a bride-to-be and myself..??..well, I am just me. We grew up and had our experiences, which made me love and treasure them more. Growing up is not so simple, some had it tougher than others in different ways. Nevertheless, we inspire each other in our hardships and thankful of the joy and love we still have for each other.
