A Wonderful life...

So one by one, the cycle is complete. By the end of the year, all of us would have completed half a century of living. 28th October, another bites the bullet, bites the dust.
Our friendship started in secondary school, especially after Form 3 and especially after my family moved from RRF to Brown Garden.

A care free time no doubt but the uncertainty of what the future held for us hanged above us like a Domacles sword, we still had a good time, the best time of our lives which we still linger in our minds. So much so that, we have tried to relive the moment via the use of social media- Whatsapp, Line Chat and Facebook!
After having a whale of time, the best time of my life, in Form 6, we went separate ways. I, to USM and he to UPM. Like the movie 'When Harry met Sally', our lives got intertwined along the way.
In school, he was a happy child, forever laughing and smiling. He was liked by everyone and was the shoulder for everyone to lay their troubles on. Even girls were telling him their intimate problems. Sometimes, we wondered...

We stayed connected all these years. In the early years, we kept in touch via the media which is quite alien to  the present generation called snail mail but in those days the only mail we knew. It is surprising that we actually wrote all those 3 or 4 pages of narratives on a monthly basis. We exchanged happenings of each others' lives, about the fauna and flora in UPM, about his room mate, his adventures in the dairy stables and pig sty!

It's a wonderful life!

After graduation, we landed in the same town again, in Klang. At that time, all my friends and cousins wanted to get to know him as he was known as the guy with KFC vouchers!
Then, we went separate ways again. Fate had it that we found ourselves together, in Melaka. By that time, I was married and he was a swinging single, swinging and lost in the chicken husbandry. He was so fed up with chicken that he did not eat chicken throughout his stay in Melaka.
Then with the advent of mobile phones and internet, keeping in touch became a breeze. 

And we had in touch since then. 

We have been together in each others' happy and not so happy events over the years. Sasi, hope to see you smiling like this like you have always been since the first time I met you  some good 37 years ago. Wish you all the best in the future undertakings and may this friendship lasts forever more.
