My Long Lost Childhood Friend...
The power of FaceBook is undeniable. Recently, I made a miracle feat by reuniting with my first ever girlfriend beside my mum, of course. By typing her name, well, it's so strange that we can recall all our childhood friends by their full name so easily, and voila, I was second-guessing whether she would be the one. I wrote her a message and she replied. And the rest is history...
We made a pact to meet up for coffee at the Curve, when I was back in KL early of the month. I was there early and ordered up an iced-tea drink from Starbucks, courtesy of Bro. We anticipated every moment with, gosh, how would she look like, can she recognise us and whether she also share the same enthusiasm as us. Well, the wait was over. She appeared and just as instantly, we clicked like how we clicked 17 years ago, actually 23 years ago when we first met. I could sense that my partner was also able to share my joy of meeting our (Bro and I) long lost childhood friend.
We talked, laughed and reminisced about all our happy memories of growing up at RC. We also talked about life and slowly, all the dotted lines were fully connected and we were clear as to how our lives have changed for the past years.
I really had so much fun meeting up with her. I wish I could stay a while longer but my next appointment with my galfriends spelt that our time was going to be up soon at Starbucks, The Curve. We took a photo then we parted after making sure that we must meet up again soon.
We drove off and then, another night with my favourite people in town proved to be not disappointing at all. This time we did it at Souled Out, Hartamas. Life is a blessing when one could name more than a handful of fingers of real best friends...
