A Reunion of Sorts

WhatsApp and Telegram had opened the way for old friends to hook up more so than Facebook. Accessibility being the key, as well as the reduced risk of distraction when one looked at their Facebook page. WhatsApp also allowed for real time notification especially in the current climate of fast is best.

In the last few months, my olds friends from school had created a WhatsApp group which should I say, very active. I got most of the updates from my wife - she is also in the group - as I had shut down the notification since it was too distracting.

One thing let to another and last weekend, my wife had a mini-reunion from other girls from our year. None of the boys were invited but I had the trump card. I was the designated driver for Anita.

The meet-up took place last Saturday at Nu Sentral. I had a long day including ward round, a lecture to deliver at UMMC as well as referral across town at Park City. By the time I was free, it was already time for them to go. I finally hooked up with Anita and the rest at around 5, enough time for a quick group selfie.

As you could see, I was the thorn among the roses! With my white hair sticking out.

Time certainly flew, with some of them I only last met 26 years back. There were murmuring of a bigger reunion towards the end of the year, but I could see that it would be hard work to get everybody together under one roof. It would definitely be in KL since most of them were based there now.

So, would wait for the next meet-up and hopefully the boys were invited as well ....

Reunion of Sorts

During midweek, I had the chance to catch u with some of Anita's old friend from her university days. One of her junior decided to resign from his paid job and opened a cafe in PJ. Since it opened a couple of months back, some of my friends had been a regular there especially during football matches.

Oh Dear! Puan Anita had warmed up!One of Anita's classmate came all the way from Kuching - for work - and decided to have a quick reunion. One of the boys there brought videos back from the time they were still at University. Fortunately rather, it did not feature Anita as she was a year their senior. They have more videos and would be showing them on the next reunion apparently. Embarrassing moments in store I was sure .....

This coffee is the killa!The food there - at Ipoh Kopitiam was surprisingly good. Definitely worth a go. And the coffee there, could literally put Starbucks out of business. I was still craving for more after a couple of nights. Yesterday evening during my on call, one of my friend congregated there but unfortunately, I was too busy to join him. I'll write more on the Kopitiam next time.
