I have a friendster account, but I rarely go to the site and check the updates. A "long lost" friend found my email add there, and tried her luck by contacting me thru msg service by friendster.We haven't seen or heard from each other for 8 years. The thing that I really remember about her is the day she threw a broom at me when we were in form one hehehe, no doubt I was a bit nakal and acted like a samseng last time (had to show off my power as a penolong ketua kelas maa). I moved to another school the following year, she moved to a new school too, but a few months later lah. Now that we've found each other, it feels like there are a lot of things to be told and shared, many foolish things to be remembered, and a few ugly moments to be erased from the memory. But I feel awkward, I don't know where to start, I'm not sure what is there in my life to be shared with her, I feel so tiny...She's doing a degree in accountacy at upm, that's something. At least when ppl ask her "what are you studying", her reply would probably be accountacy of course, and those ppl will definitely say "ooowh, nak jadi accountant lah nih, good, good". And if a person asks me the same question, my answer will be "english" and he/she will react "owh, nak jadi CIKGU lah ni"...It's like an automatic reply, study english must be a teacher...aiyak, other than teaching martial arts, I don't wanna be a teacher. Don't get me wrongly, I'm not looking down upon this profession...but, I just don't have what it takes to be a teacher - P.A.T.I.E.N.C.E - and my english sux! Ok back to my long lost friend, let's name her Tun (fyi, she's not from the title bearing family). Last time I did accountacy (at school lah) and I went to the KPM matriculation in negri sembilan for...ehem2, ONE week, then I cabut! Accountacy, aiyak, it's not my subject lah! Some people think accountacy is a professional course (yeah, it is a professional course what!), and some people feel that english is a course that you take because you have no other choice, paksa rela! Just look at our department lah, some of them wanted to do a degree in law tapi, can't get tempat in the univ, some wanna do communications, but feel that they aren't attractive enuff (tak tau plak they put this as one of the syarat-syarat kemasukan). Erm, I tend to terkeluar dari topik hehehe. Tun and I had a cliq back then in school, we wrote our wishes in pieces of paper, rolled 'em up, and put 'em inside a bottle. I'm not sure whether Tun or Una volunteered to campak the bottle in Sungai Klang, and I don't even know if the bottle was really campak kat dalam sungai or masuk the kitar semula garbage bin (masa tuh dah ada kempen kitar semula nih). I think one of my wishes was to meet my favourite singer, yerlah masa tuh bodoh2 kan, it'd be so unrealistic if I wished to be a successful politician or tkd grandmaster (at that time I haven't joined LTA). Anyway, Tun and I were best buddies (kinda) and after eight years...so many things happened within that period of time, and frankly I don't know how to communicate with her, terasa janggal. I wanna tell her this and that, but then again, is it important, would it be interesting, would she like it, I'm beginning to feel that I don't really know her anymore. It's not because she has changed or anything, but I just feel...awkward. I know that I have changed quite a lot, so in some ways I fear she might not feel comfortable with that.
