Sarah

I don't really know why but I seem to remember this friend of mine pretty well....not that its a bad thing but considering she moved to KL when she was in standard 3 (I think!)...its a bit of a surprise that I can actually remember her full name still...we've been quite good friends I think..even at that age. Sarah Judy Teo...haha...I hope I got that right! She lived somewhere near my house last time. Used to walk to her place to pass her stuff etc etc...and she had this HUGE dog...was quite...scary. This gal shares the same birthday with my dad (I'm pretty good with birthdates..haha)...and she was kind enough to invite me and a few others to her birthday party in McDonalds! I know I go McD pretty damn often nowadays..but back then as a kid...having a McValue/Happy Meal at McD was really...a happy thing! (These days happy meal is so goddamned expensive it makes the parent wanna cry...haha)...so back to what I was saying. To get invited to a party...IN McD...w/o parents!! ...it felt pretty damn special...and feels expensive! And we hardly do parties back then too....so yeah. It was pretty memorable...not much of the food though..but the games...and the small little Barbie doll that came with the Happy Meal...I still have it at home :P ... If that wasn't nice enough of her and her parents, she actually developed several copies of photograph taken during the party...and gave us kids a copy of them. I treasured those photos. (I'll post them one day if I remember..its back in SP).... Some time in Std 3...she said she had to move to KL cuz her dad was posted to his company's KL branch...I think...felt kinda :( to loose a good friend then but I didn't quite remember my feelings then...maybe didn't feel sad parting cuz we haven't known each other long enough...or maybe I DID feel sad...but I just cant remember now.... But I did remember feeling very happy when she sent me a mail...not email la...snail mail. Back then where go email and the sort? I wrote back....but damn I was lazy...letter-writing wasn't really my thing back then...mmm...even now I think...but email's much faster now so yeah... Some years back..she mailed me another letter. Saying something like she found my old letter while cleaning up her room and decided to post me a mail. It was so many years since we last wrote to each other so I was quite surprised! Awful of me tho. I can't remember if I wrote back to her. Maybe I emailed her or something. I think we exchange email addresses back then...and I found her on friendster later on....but I didn't really use frienster much so....yeah..you get the drift. Today...I suddenly felt kinda nostalgic. I sifted thru my facebook and searched my email address books for possible friends that I have still not added to my facebook. And then I thought about her. I didn't have her email on my gmail (I only started to use gmail as my default mail a few years ago)....so I went looking for it from my friendster...and thankfully..its there. Facebook Enter email address:.... Search Displaying the only result for:.....

...she's so pretty now. I guess both of us must have changed pretty drastically since 1995...
Add to friend *clicks* I have never met up with her ever since she moved away. I hope we'll keep in touch more often now since I use facebook more. Tho....it does bother me...if we ever DO meet up...what are we gonna talk about? Spending only 2-3 years out of our 13+ years studying...what do we still know of each other? I wonder. :D p/s: I have a few other friends...good friends that I've lost contact since school days. Particularly those close friends that have been 'very busy' since SPM results were released during my year...wish we'll meet up again some day....
