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?

Salam. Maybe you are refering to Kamarul as Cicakman?. Its good to have stumble across your blog, as I'm from the era SAS8589. If you do contact him again, send my best regards to him. Tell him its Shahrul. I wish you both best of luck and May Allah bless you. Hope fully we all can meet at a reunion someday as I miss the school days. Up to now I only in contact with only Syahrizal.
