We grew up in the same small Ipoh town. I’m pretty sure we’ve
bumped into each other more than a few times when we were little. I went to the
same kindergarten as your brother and even performed on stage with him. How
ironic thinking that you were there watching me sing and dance not knowing that
I was going to be your life partner. We might have looked at each other eye to
eye and may have even held hands. How sweet it would be if those moments were
captured for us to look back and laugh about it. I would frame it and hang it
on our wall for sure.
As we grew up, you were in an all-boys school and I was in all-girls
school, St Michael Institution and SM Convent Ipoh to be precise. We definitely
never see each other during our school days except when I did my form 6 in your
school. The number of girls was limited there, so I’d say all of us were the
limelight of the school for a while. LOL. Too bad you were not there as you
went to SM Teknik. You were still attached to the school though and we actually
went camping together with Persatuan Kadet Remaja Sekolah. I even snapped your
picture without realising you were there. We never noticed each other too. I bet
both of us were pretty ugly during our school days, sun burned, acne covered
and all.
Then we grew up separated from each other. We met again as
we were called to be the facilitator for St Michael Institution students in
UiTM Seri Iskandar. Only then we noticed each other. You were the photographer
and I realised that you were aiming the camera at me most of the time (so
perasan gone case..LOL). But yes, my face was in most of the pictures taken (so
not so perasan was I?). We even had a
picture together back then. Alas, a couple we were.
We were separated again for almost 3 years with no contact
at all. You had a couple of other love stories and I had one while we were
apart (what we call ‘cinta monyet’..yes..monyet sgt!..hahaha) No biggie, I’m
open up to being friends with all of them. We started contacting each other
again when both of us had a job of our own and the rest was history.
