They Are My Past, My Present, and My Future

2005

This was my geng during my secondary school days and they are still my geng to hang out with when I am back in my hometown. From left : Neoh, Slyvia, me, Kristie, Caryn, and Azalia. This photo was taken approximately a few weeks before our SPM examination, so, yeah, no doubt we were having the stressful faces. LOL!

We were all the primary Convent school girls which answers the question why we could click very well until now. Lol. We had the same thinking, same wavelengths, same interests, and same spoken language (except for Azalia but she can speak English very well), we are still the same in almost everything I guess… Their company makes me feel at comfort because we are very open to each other and we could just say whatever we like to each other without any hesitation. We gossiped, we ate together during recess time, we stood together during any assembly, we sat side by side in classes and tuitions, we walked together to labs and moral classes, we walked back together to the main gate when school dismissed, we attended almost the same co-curricular activities, we went for the same tuition centres, basically we saw a lot of each almost everyday during our secondary school life. However, we never got bored of each other. Hehe! Maybe we had too much of each other which is why God separates us from each other now. LOL! It is very unfortunate for us that we can hardly meet each other now but glad that we still find ways to meet up whenever we are back home and we still keep in contact with each other via MSN or other means of communication which is free since we are all so far apart.

2007

If I am not wrong, this was our first meet up after SPM which was last year (14.12.2007). It was some sort of a farewell thingy for Slyvia before she left for the United States to pursue her studies. Unfortunately, Azalia could not make it for the meet up. We were having lunch in a Japanese restaurant near Village Mall and went to walk in Village Mall a while. That was my first time in Village Mall. It was not up to my expectation. Wanting a quiet place to chat and gossip, we then headed to Kristie’s house and went straight into her room. Lol, we started our girls’ talk like we had never talked in our life before. Our conversation covered almost every single thing, the past, the present, and the future (you wouldn’t want to know what did we even talk about our future because it will scare you off…lol), even random stuff. Hehe!

This is some sort of our “promise” to meet up again in future whenever we can. We were uncertain if we could ever meet up in a complete group in one or two years to come. After that, we parted and went separate ways. Well, no doubt, we are sad to leave each other once again, but then at least we had a great outing to be remembered.

2008

With God’s will, we managed to meet up again after one year plus, 26.12.2008. This was us in Secret Recipe, Village Mall.

Well, again, Village Mall. Lol. SP is just too small and there isn’t any interesting place to hang out. However, again, it was not a complete group outing. Caryn was not there this time but Azalia was. It was better than nothing. We were all so excited to meet each other after a year of temporary separation. Kristie and I reached Secret Recipe first and we were searching high and low for them and finally we heard a familiar voice shouting “Mangkuk!” from behind. Oh well, that was Slyvia, never change even though a year of studying abroad. Hehe! Oh yeah, she actually came up with the term “PANAS GUYS” and our whole conversation for that day revolved a lot of that term. She said she could not resist from telling her friends in the States whenever she saw any hot guys, so being a typical Malaysian, she used the Malay language to describe the hot guys there, therefore, she came up with the term, “PANAS GUYS”.   Neoh as usual, did not change either, she is never punctual, she was around 10 minutes late. Lol! We were not long in Secret Recipe, approximately around one hour plus then off we went to Old Town because we wanted a different environment.

Us in Old Town Kopitiam!

Oh yeah, we made a hell lot of noise when we were there. I guess we had turned Old Town Kopitiam into a real “kopitiam”…lol! Oh, by the way, did you realise our theme colour for that day? They were black and green! Well, it wasn’t any sort of conspiration, just a coincidence! Hehe!

It was then the sad part, the time all of us had to separate once again but, never mind, we will surely meet up again someday. Till then, thank you girls for the great outing! Will always remember you all. We shall reunite again whenever there is a chance. Take care my friends!

P/S : I will be meeting up with Kristie tomorrow. She is coming to find me. Supposedly our meet up is today, however, she is down with fever so, it is postponed to tom0rrow. I am so excited to see her once again and my Alor Setar friend, Marisa will be with us too. There will be girls’ talk once more though it won’t be so crazy like how we did in a group but at least something is better than nothing! Get well soon girl because I want us to talk and gossip and crap till we drop dead. Lol! See you Kristie and Marisa!
