I went back home recently for a friend's wedding. Her name is Adrina Easter David Limus (canggih right? and now there's a Faurillo at the end of her name. ugh). We've been friends forever...along with a few others. I find the need to name all of them so please bear with me. =) There's also Magdalene Louisa Fletcher, Belinda Natra Sawasah Sarah Range Mauris Majikol, Geraldine Voo Yee Wen, Jessica Lee Moi Kui@Jessenia Bin Abdullah, Elsa Frances Rajah, Natasha Fernandez, Moniza Waheed, Vanessa Violet Vivienne Thien,Latha Rajagopal and Shireen Leandra Sikayun. Most of us went to the same kindergarten,definitely same primary school and of course secondary school. KK being a small town,that's how it is. So basically we've seen each other's faces 5 days a week since kindergarten.
After school,most of us went our seperate way... everyone's been busy living their lives. Whenever we meet,we're still close. But definitely some things change over the years and I'd thought we don't know each other as much as we thought we would. This time around, we managed to have a pre-wedding dinner & hen's night for the bride. We played a game. More like a questionnaire. The most impossible questions were in the questionnaire. e.g. Full Name, Number of siblings, siblings names partner,Partner's name,list of ex boyfriends,Mother & father's full names,birthdates,favourite colour,car & car plate number...the list goes on. and we have to list down EVERYBODY's details. ALL THE MENTIONED NAMES ABOVE. After that,we realised we actually DO know & surprisingly still remember small details of each other. which was really cool.

We go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back...

This was Jess' wedding last year. We were of course bridesmaids again. We couldn't throw her a hen's night or any party at all because her mum won't let her out the week before her wedding and prior to that, she was really busy handling her wedding. Unlike Jess, Drina had a wedding planner so she had more time.


For some reason, Drin's wedding got me thinking. I recalled the day I left home. I was still 17. And I remembered feeling really excited because I was leaving home, and I wanted to. But when I was at the airport,all was good until I passed the Immigration counter. I turned back, and saw my parents,my younger sister and a few of my friends. My heart felt really heavy. I smiled and waved goodbye, turned,and started walking towards the bay....tearing. That was that. THEN, I started my new life in KL. Very happy,made a lot of new friends,did a lot of crazy things, created a lot of good and bad memories...busy busy busy... so busy with my life that I don't do anything to keep in touch.
I don't write, I don't call home, I don't sms. Not much,not even with my family. But everytime when I go home, I'm always excited...and everytime when I have to leave home,my heart the sank..the very same way it did when I first time I left home....
I know this is an emo post. But I thought I'd just share this with you girls. I couldn't think of anyone better to share this with since most of the feliners are away from home... living their lives... doing what they have to do...BE STRONG FELINERS.
