Colin, Wesley and I have not been together in the same room for 20 years until today! What a great day its been! It was Wesley's wedding dinner. Wesley has lived in Australia for the past 20 years, since his mum passed away. We were a threesome. Neighbours, who grew up together on Jalan Ungku Mohd Salleh. Colin and I are of the same age and Wes is 2 years our junior. It doesn't seize to amaze me that 20 years have gone by in a blink of an eye; Wes is now a chef and Colin a specialist in BMWs. Our lives are worlds apart; there should have been akward silences, stiff handshakes and sterile chatter. There was nothing of that; there were warm hugs & handshakes, magical stories of growing up together, the nostalgia of yesteryears and the memory of a friendship so pure. It all came flooding back. I am a sentimental fool. Always have been and always will be. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what life is all about. Making a connection and touching people's lives. Friends who will never forget you no matter how much time has passed and how little contact you have had. They may not know this, but after all these years, I have never forgotten how they have touched my life and that their friendship is imprinted in my heart and mind forever.
I wish upon a star, that the three of us will meet again even if it takes another 20 years!
