My Old Friend......

Nostalgia

It's funny how time play tricks on us, when we are least expected, no aware of those people we met along the way, and they are suddenly grow up and appear right in front of your eyes. (Amazing how much they change, and how long have I lost contact, I never any good in keeping up with long distance friends.)
So, today I log on to my e-mail, and found one e-mail attach in my inbox with name I find foreign. (Who is this guy?? Kong Yong?? Who is Kong Yong? Do I know anyone by that name?) Then I clicked on it to read the content, "Kong Yong has a special message for you......" with a picture of a chinese couple attached. It's one of those site for people to link-up and chat, I never really bother much about it! (Who's there to chat?) So I stared at the picture wondering Kong Yong a boy or a girl, can't really figure it out. Well, the only way to find out is to dig in deeper, so I log on to my account and read my special message under "friendster". Kong Yong wrote in my inbox:

"Do u remember me? I'm Foo Kong Yong
Ur full name Chai Zhen Yi, right?"

Who is Foo Kong Yong?? And he (so it's a boy!) got my name spelled wrong, it's Chai Ching Yee! I look further at his profile and image gallery, (I'm gonna find out who is this guy!!) and suddenly I found a light bulb above my head! (Ding!)
HEY! I know this man! My GOSH! How long was it since we depart? 10 years? 11 years? I think it's almost 12 years! He was my school mate in high school, and we were in the same class for almost all my years in the high school. Then, we sang Auld Lang Syne, greet each other good bye and left our separate paths toward different lifes. I remember it all now, with mental picture became visualize right in front my eyes, the nostalgic moment suddenly hit its "play" button......

I was in my green and white typical high school uniform, hand carry my black color batman school bag to the school, sitting in my familiar classroom. I could almost hear the mango drop on our ceiling while teacher scribble chalks on the blackboard, and how little chit chat and passing little paper among the classmate.
Kong Yong was my good friend, he is so smart and always so hard working (I was rather lazy and unattentive in school!), and every year end his results would always makes me felt ashame of myself, for not trying harder. (But I never any good in study, I have choose another paths instead!) I remember her mum own a little cafe at the town hall, and everytime I pass by there, the picture of him studying and doing homeworks so clearly stucked in my mind. What a shame I didn't pick-up his good quality at all. (How rotten! Ha....) And of course as I expected, he continue to study and attending different schools (as listed in his profile), no doubt he would be reaching the dreams of his life.

Just then, I would love to wish my friend Kong Yong all the best in his life and found joy and success in everything he ever and will achieve! Cheers Mate!
