Batch 89 ladies: This is For You!

My friends & I were reminiscing about the good old days, so thought I'd dedicate this song to them.
Ladies, remember to change the "Bukakanlah jendela asmara.." to "Bukakanlah jendela asrama.." accordingly!

Friendship Without Strings

Lately my schoolmates & I have been catching up on old times. Some of us haven't met since after our Form 5 graduation and it's always fun to see how we've turned out.

I, myself, have only been in constant contact with only a few, so it was nice reconnecting with the others. And it's a pleasant surprise to see how well we can still bond with each other even after all these years.

This is what I call friendship without strings. Back then, especially since we were in boarding school, our only requirements for friendship was that we could all look out for each other since we were far from home. No hidden agenda, no politics, just a simple & straightforward approach to friendship. And to this day, though most are married with children and everyone has her own life, this simple foundation is what still binds us together, and to me, is what will make us friends for life.

If only life were this simple now.

Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop at Home..

My housing area suffered water disruption late Thursday evening 'til early this morning due to a burst water pipe some 15km away. Luckily I was out the whole day so I didn't actually have to suffer at home.

This reminded me of boarding school days when we had to wait with pails for the water tanks or go to the river to bathe. That was an exciting experience when we were young. When you're older, not so much.
