AS SALAM & DEAR FRIENDS OF 73/78/80'S, IM SHARING THIS MAIL AGAIN ONCE EMAILED BEFORE OUR 1ST REUNION AT CHANDAN GALLERY, KUALA LUMPUR WAY BACK ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO IN DECEMBER 2010 JUST FOR SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHTS.
ONCE...
We scrambled to class or assembly place/hall on every Monday with bag full of books, pencil case, tupper ware with bread or any other nutritional food from home once the school bell rang with hair nicely combed and tied, clean uniform/attire, wore BATA or Fung Keong shoes with white socks and without realizing before calling it the day all the 'whites' turned grey or colored.
NOW....
We start of the day confusing ourselves either to wear pierre cardin, polo, padini or cerutti shirt, plain or flowery baju kurung, kebaya or pant suit, arrays of ties to choose from, lighter or dark pants, polo, cole haan, Dr Martens or bally, prada shoes to wear, matching handbags and scarfs, bright accessories and more often than not have no time for breakfast at home as breakies at nearby kopitiam is a better option and without realizing it by the time we left for home it was already dawn.
ONCE...
We were an innocent, obedient, unassuming boy, girl and of course without discarding the sometimes cheeky, naughty, mischievous and once a while notorious character very much depending the company that we were with but by the time we were back at home we were bound by "father/mother/guardian values and environment".
NOW...
We are a dedicated, committed and responsible person at work, amongst peers to bosses or even a boss in our own right, at home look upon as a father/mother figure, a role model to our kids, a dotting husbands/wives to our spouses..
ONCE....
Our afternoons and evenings were filled with carefree and laughter, joyous time but sometimes bickering fighting amongst us while playing takraw, footballs, rounders, netballs and all sorts of recreational games whilst at school, weekends either playing hide and seek, kordy-kordy, gasing and the memorable and best part of all these activities were each and every one of us will always look forward and find time to this "TOGETHERNESS", even if we need to cycle 2-3 miles each day, took a boat(Sayong folks) or walked from home, waited for Wai Thong, Omni Green Bus or in whatever means we NEVER FAIL and NEVER DISAPPOINT ourselves for such comradeship.
NOW....
Our mornings till evenings were too occupied with work, meetings, in schools, attending to patients(dr), business etc and in tandem as much as possible try to please people "in authority" and who have controls over our professional destiny or
business, little or no time at all to socialize with present and particularly with "friends of yesteryears", our weekends and sometimes weekdays occupied with time at the green with birdies, par, bogeys, latest collections of golf sets in our vocabulary, shopping malls, little time with family and hardly spent time with our old folks that once cared us when small....
ONCE....
We have similar thoughts and feelings, shared same hobbies, always playful and think alike when playing truant, shared notes and revision, even copied with the smarter next table friends during examinations, being boys we either escaped punishments, let others to be punished for our wrongdoings or our own misbehavior with at the end of the day still and always remained as friends.... THAT'S HOW CLOSE AND BONDED WE WERE BEFORE AS FRIENDS.....
NOW....
It's little to comprehend whether our thoughts, feelings are similar or alike.., It's difficult to comprehend whether we will go all the way to find time and moments to meet and reminisced all the cherished moments and memories that we had gone through and shared before...., It's still rather difficult to comprehend whether all of you will be there ON THE 9TH JULY 2011...
A handful had proven thus far and for the last 1 years + that this friendship is still very relevant, continuity is the word as we need to be reminded always how we started. We need to catch back all those moments and most importantly we
need to create "THIS COMMUNITY" amongst us.
Over a short time, much had been achieved for this 'CONGLOMERATE' of us... the frequent meet we had, the formation of our very own KOPERASI @ KOSEC. At least there's much to look forward to and in store for all of us to share together BUT this aspiration of us will only materialize with full participation from all of you..
All we're asking is a mere half Saturday of your precious time. We do hope to see you there... It's an important milestone for better things to come particularly beyond our retirement age. Need not worry if once comb was your best friend but now you're not bothered to carry one as there's no hair to show....
Need not be bothered if once you used to wear a 28/29 inches jeans waist but now physically you've blown out of proportion... need not be concerned if once your BLACK shiny straight or curly hair now turned GREY OR WHITE...
Need not be too concerned if some of you are very successful now in your own right while others may not...
Our endeavor professionally or personally may differs from one another...but WHO we are 30 or 35 years ago is of little or no difference as compared to NOW.
Till I see you on the 9th July 2011, WASSALLAM & WARMEST REGARDS.
