Meeting Old Friends

Imran and I

Rahayu and Joanna

Three of us used to be classmates

Old and new friends

I have been waiting for this gathering quite a long time, 21 years to be exact. Several days ago I met my old primary school classmate, Imran, whom I haven't met in 20 years. Two days ago he asked me whether I'm available on Sunday night because another old friend of us is having a Raya gathering. I immediately said yes and although the party is supposed to start at 8.30pm, I was already there by 8.15 (the anticipation is like the first date!). The host name is Suhaimi and I still recognised his face and tall figure. The three of us used to attend Sekolah Kebangsaan Serdang from 1983 until 1988. Then some other visitors came to the party and I remembered some of them whilst attempting to recognise the rest and make some new friends. We had good chat and by the time for all of us to go, it was already 11pm. One of us is already planning another party in two weeks time and I hope I will be meeting more old friends of SKS. Looking back at their faces now reminds me of this song, 74-75 by The Connells. I wish I still have pictures of us back in the 80s.
