Reunion - The Cyber Style...

Amazing! How these modern technologies can do wonders to us all…With Facebook, Friendster, MySpace, we can actually ‘reunite’ with our childhood friends from school and even college.


Few friends from SM Convent Jalan Sultan Idris Shah, Ipoh are already in my friends list. When I look at them all, I could still reminisce our school days...


Amutha Taylor – We practically grew up together. Born the same year, she was my closest friend in Greentown, Ipoh. Greentown was a huge government quarters years ago. And now all that’s left are fond memories. It is now a business center in Ipoh. Amutha and I were neighbours and when we played, fight, shared our interests together. We even shared the same toilet once!! (I’ll skip the details!!). We went through the eras of the 70s and 80s ie Grease, Lady Di (the hair cut…arhhh!). She speaks Malay fluently (yeah, complete with Perak accent, sometimes) but I cannot speak a word of Indian…err… perhaps one or two …How I wish I can ‘master’ the Indian language as she did with the BM!


Now she is married to an American and living in Texas, USA. She has a son (woi..tak nak tambah lagi ker??)… Glad to be connected with her again.


Zarina Abdul Rahim - She is one of my most beautiful friends! Ramai peminat nih….She is tall, fair and she looks good in anything ..even in the altered jeans during Rock Kapak era…(remember?)..My mom said Zarina is very well-mannered. She married young and now her two kids look like her younger brother/sister!


Intan Bazian Zakaria – Intan and I went to primary and secondary schools together but we got acquainted during our secondary school years! I will never forget when Intan ‘taught’ me how to enjoy the KFC coleslaw (I used to hate it)..but when we were having lunch in KFC after school, I saw her putting lots of tomato sauce on the coleslaw..and it actually tasted good..and from there on, I never leave my KFC coleslaw untouched!

Today she is married to a Swiss, living in Switzerland and has two beautiful kids!


Firuz Husin – Firuz is the most intelligent Malay girl in Convent School that time. She scored straight As in every major exams! Although we were not that close, but we used to be in the same class in Form 4 or 5 (I couldn’t remember). She is just adorable and friendly. I still remember when she sold cassettes of Azura soundtracks for RM2…! I think she made a good income that year! Haha…


Latest info from Firuz (through FB of course)…she is now in USA with her family. She is working and hubby is studying..Good for her!!


And there’s Hanim and Ailisa…really, really happy to be reunited with all of you…! Keep in touch…and maybe someday there’ll be an actual Reunion, eh? I am still hoping to see more friends from SM Convent Ipoh in FB!


PS: Just to share - that Ms Zara Salim Davidson, who is now the wife of Raja Muda Perak’, is also an ex-Convent Ipoh student! She is 5 years younger than I am and I can still remember how she looks like in her primary school uniform. Since the primary and secondary schools are in the same compound.. I could see her running around with her friends sometimes. She had lots of admirers (anak Mat Salleh cun le katakannn…)..Daulat Tuanku...YM Raja Zara Salim.
