28 Years

Yesterday, 26th Sept 2009 finally made it to meet up with one of my closest schoolmates for the first time in 28 years! How far apart we have been after we all went our separate ways. That was back in 1981. Remembering the good old school years was the most fun & exciting part. Looking back at our school / class photos was hilarious! How much all of us has changed. From sweet young thing to being women, wives, mothers. The 28 years apart didnt keep us apart with nothing to say. We had plenty to talk about. The past & the current. Trying hard to remember who is who, 'I know this girl.... what's her name?' 'wonder where are they now?' ' What are they doing, how many kids & etc.....?'

Most of them, we believe are working & staying around KL or PJ... just a matter of time to find them all. Through our daily usage of the facebook, it has helped us to look for a couple of long lost friends! It doesn't really matter where they are, whether residing overseas or locally, we managed to get in touch with some of our schoolmates. We have vowed to keep in touch, meeting regularly from now on. The best years of our friendship cannot be erased with a swift of a wand... it cannot be replace either. Though our memories are fading away day by day, there are still a couple of them left that will always be closed to our hearts! Thank you my friends..

Visualing Family Tree

What did I do today?.... Plenty actually! Woke up late .... monday (sorry it's almost tuesday morning by the time I finished this & post it on. The first thing was switched on the computer... FACEBOOK suddenly became one of my important on my daily list. Can never go without checking in on what's new, what's happening, new photos, friends request & etc. Most importantly... I love FARMVILLE.... going crazy just checking to make sure my plantation is okay! Never I have been so hardworking in my life....hehe. Besides getting in touch with friends & long lost friendships..... It works wonders!

Breakfast with mum at Yew Seng coffee shop in Kepong Baru. Think the curry chee cheong fun was not fresh (I love it but not today, didnt finished it). Had upset tummy since then till now! Bloated feelings........ arrhhhh....

Then off to visit my aunties & cousins in Gita Bayu, Serdang. A pleasant drive with most of the muslim folks balik kampung, the road is acceptionally smooth though there are still plenty of drivers out there. This time managed to catch up a lot with my cousins. Usually, during each visit (which happens only when I have the mood to bring my mum there) my cousins hardly have the time to chit chat. It's like pack & go (wherever they are going) or catching up on their sleep till late noon. But this trip was good. We never talked so much before.

And it makes me realised that no matter how distant we stay away from each other, one must keep that family closeness within. There aren't plenty of Lau/Low relatives around... & it did makes me want to do up the Lau/Low family tree. Why I put in Lau/Low....well, all my aunts & uncle surname begins with Low. Dad's name somehow was registered as Lau with an alias Low. So coming down to my generation, me & my siblings surname gone on to Lau. So I will start the family tree begining with myself & goes from there making the way up. Starting tomorrow!
