Long-lost Friends

Looking through my cupboard today and found this.



I think it should be "these". A pile of letters that I have kept for so many years. Since year 2001 until today. I still remembered when I have the time, I would have been reading all of them. Letters, greeting cards, birthday cards, friendship cards; all these were from my old classmates back in Gurun, Kedah. Am used to study there when I was in year 3 until year 5, in a chinese primary school, SJK (c) Choong Hwa, Gurun, Kedah, among the cluster school in the state.

3A, 1999


4A, 2000


I don't have picture when I was in year 5 since I left earlier. The quality of these photos are bad because I don't have the digital format of them. So, I digitize by taking photo of the photos. Haha...

It has been 8 years. Even though I only stay contact with one or two of them, I am not sure of what I read, they did miss and still ask about me but ironically, they didn't write to me. Guess my friend acts as a messenger for them to know my latest updates. SPM has over for a year, now. Surely everyone has their own roads to take. So, I am kind of determined to look for them again. I don't believe in the phrase, 'Friends, come and go..."

So, I googled search them, used friend-finders in Friendster and Facebook to look for them. Most of the time, it ended with disappointment. Through profile picture itself is not enough and I hardly can recognise. Plus, some of them may use fake name for their accounts.

Until one day though, I couldn't give up searching and finally in Friendster, I found a very familiar name and familar face. It's been 8 years. Things may change. Not sure whether he is one of them, so I messaged him.

2 weeks later, I saw his reply, his comment in my Friendster profile yesterday, and it is really him.
I am really happy to see that comment to appear in my profile. I myself really cannot forget him though because he always bullied me way back then. Well, I cried easily at that time. I am still the same guy.

A good start to meet everyone again in the near future.

*THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I FIND IT IS WORTHY TO HOLD ON TO, EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN YEARS.
**IF MY MOTHER COULD FIND HER BIOLOGICAL FAMILY WHO HAS BEEN SEPARATED FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS, WHY NOT THIS ONE?

You must treasure those letters well. :) Hard to see people writing letters to one another nowadays especially when there's e-mails n window messengers.
