In conversation with Cicakman

I have been in touch with a friend of mine, Cicakman last week. It has been almost 20 years since we last met or talk. I was pretty close with Cicakman during our schooldays. He always entertained us with his antics and frankly, when I first arrived at the school, he was one of the very few who made me feel welcomed when I first enter the school. Having been in a day school all my life, I have to say that there were a lot of adjusting to be done when I enter a full-boarding school. The environment was different and people around you can be mean at times. But Cicakman always made me feel comfortable. Instead of discriminating the newbies like me, he was one of the first to strike conversation with me and immediately made me feel at ease. I will always hold his friendship dear to my heart.

Anyway, some update on Cicakman - he was married and divorce and just recently remarried. He has one kid and he teaches in a secondary school in North of Malaysia. Lot's of things has happened since we last met but I was proud with what he has achieved so far. Despite all that, I can still sense the very sense of warmth through his voice, just like how it was back in the schooldays. He told me that he lost touch with all of our friend except one.

Talking to him reminded me how fun it was back then, when things were all so simple. I do have a few friends in our clique that until now I am still looking for them. I will always remember Ella & Skooch - wonder where they are now?

In the mood

It's been a while that I haven't updated my blog. Not that I don't want to but because I cannot afford to spare the time. Even when I do have time, I was not in the mood because of the exhaustion I felt from the many multiple tasks and projects that I am handling now. Some of my friends has been pestering me to update my blog (okay superchica, I am doing it now!).

However, today, I am in the mood to update something. Mainly because:

1) Roger Federer won the US Open
2) I found back my close friend from my alma mater - Mr Cicakman
3) My sons have been fasting thus far
4) I have yet to miss my 'terawih' to date
5) I have just celebrated my 10th anniversary last Friday
6) Things seems to be under better control and more stable at work
7) I have finished shopping for my kids Hari Raya clothings

So much of good things has happen to me for the last few days that I guess it warrants some entry in the blog.

Thank you GOD for ALL the blessings that you have given me and my family. At times, I felt that GOD has been super-generous with me, to the point that I felt I don't really deserve them. But I guess He knows best.

I think I am going for a new goal in life. Perhaps to win my first tennis Grand Slam at the age of 40?
