THE BOND THAT NEVER FADED

I think it was not too late for me to share something with all of you out there about something which I regard as nostalgic to me and perhaps to some of my friends out there too. It was about a day which happen to be on August 1st 2009. A day that none of us will ever forget. A day which brought all of us together under one roof. Okay, I lied. Not all, but you can say a quarter of us. By us, I mean my friends, my former colleagues from my other life in secondary school. What in the world I am babbling about? Okay, cut this crap and nonsense. Coming back to my story, that day was a nostalgic and classic one. The day that we held our reunion after six years of separation. Everyone looks so classy in black and purple attire which happen to be the theme for the reunion party. Two weeks before the event, all the committee members were trying their best to make sure that this event will work just fine. And Alhamdulillah, although there was a slight misunderstanding between the committee and the hotel management as to the issue of venue, but that issue has been successfully catered before the event started on the same day.

With approximately 50 persons, the event started with welcoming remarks by master of ceremony, Mohamed Munzir and later on with appreciation speech by our former Head of Hostel, Mohd Taqiuddin Azman. The event continued with diner. As far as I can remember, that night we have approximately 30 meals served buffet with 8 main course and 22 other side dishes as well as appetizers. As I was concerned with insufficiency of meals due to the capacity of persons involved, I was proven to be wrong as those meals were incredibly more than enough to feed at least another 50 persons.

Later on that night, we have a surprise for our married couples. I don't know whether they already knew that we are going to surprise them with another "Bersanding Ceremony" but, little that I know, they seems happy to me. And guess what? One of my friend, Sufarah Azizah has been pregnant for four to five months already. Congratulation to her and her husband as well. Seing those faces again on that historic and nostalgic day have made me realized that in life, how far you go and how long you have been separated with your friends, that bond of friendship has never faded. It remains as in the first day we built and strengthen it through years of studies. And we will keep it that way as we travel through this amazing and wonderful life.
