I can’t really put into words, this funny feeling I had last Sunday. It hit me as I was driving off, and I caught Penan walking back to his car in my rearview mirror. With my wife and baby daughter beside me, I guess you would call the feeling bittersweet. Sort of how you’re supposed to feel, I reckon, when you’re looking back at days gone by.
Penan had come over to my mum’s house that evening, to sign some papers for the unit trust thing (wink wink). No one was home so we hung out in the garage, like we had done a million times before. Just like when we were sneaking out, sneaking smokes (among other nocturnal activities) back in the school daze.
For those of you who don’t already know, Penan moved to Bukit Mertajam on Monday morning. He’s been posted there for three years. I was joking with him that it wouldn’t be much different coz none of us see much of him anymore anyway. But hey, you grow up. Responsibilities grow. Priorities change. No one's to blame. What can you do?
Reading Reda’s posting, korang perasan tak just how much things have changed? I just wanna urge you guys, my friends, bebila pi minum, lepak-lepak hujung minggu nanti, elok pastikan try call semua kaum kerabat. Tak kisah la kalau depa jenis memang tak angkat ke hapa ke. At least ajak, ye tak? Aku tau, aku pun kengkadang susah nak angkat phone (bayangkan la tengah tukar diaper, mandikan baby, bla bla bla, but I know, excuses excuses…), tapi aku nak korang semua tau, sebenarnya memang aku nak sangat join. Cuma kalau dah tak menang tangan, nak buat camne, tak ye nye pak joned oi? Apa-apa pun, ayat gay aku untuk hari ini, aku hargai yang korang masih tak lupa ajak aku bila nak melepak etc.
So in summary, what i'm really saying is this, maybe its due time for all you homos to dig down deep to see just how much ulutopian is still running in your veins. Take time out, and ask yourselves, how much do you cherish the bonds that we've built throughout the years? How much will you miss your ulutop friends when they're no longer around? Will we all be able to call each other friends 50 years from now? Is it possible, feasible, practical to keep friendships like ours alive in the long-term?
Deeply.
A lot.
I sincerely hope so.
Yes, I think.
Ceh wahh… Yo-oh je cerita keling aku. Mungkin dah sampei masa pekene nasi bungkus panazz tepi sungai kot ni....

aku hanya mampu mengesat air mata yg meleleh huhuhuhuhu.....
Teringat zaman panjat pagar ponteng sekolah....
Zaman simpan rambut 2-3 jemput je yg panjang pon dah rase cam hero..
Zaman dtg lambat kene cuci toilet pompuan....
korang ingat tak Jr ngan Bana kene panggil ngan datin patuh berdiri depan perhimpunan. Igt tak cam mana muke Jr masetuh....huhuhuhu
Nice post JR, glad to see you back in the blog.
Anyways good luck to Penan at his new posting in Bukit Mertajam.It would have been nice though if Penan had told us he was coming to BBB.. and it would have been nice if he had notified all of us that he was going to Bukit Mertajam.
I believe we will all still remain friends in the long term. Even if it gets hard to meet each other, we have other mediums of communication like this blog & shoutbox (great idea Otai!), email, sms and phone calls.
Good luck to Puck in his job application to join Wak Jam's company!
Otai,
teringat masa ko ngan Lola bergaduh (main2) depan pagar sekolah, lepas tu cikgu Mohd dtg.. hehehe
i am speechless.
