Do you remember when I first met you? We were in the school canteen and you were rushing your Kemahiran Hidup sewing. You looked cute, all frazzled and bespectacled. That was when I first got your name. Amazing how it's grown so familiar over the years.
Do you remember the time we got caught cutting class? And how embarrassing it was when we were called up to the office to see the cranky asshole of a discipline teacher whose name i forgot? We had to wash the toilets as punishment while Anne supervised us apologetically. Amusing kids we were.
Do you remember the mushroom and the un-mushroom gang? And ice-kacang during recess? The un-mushrooms are cooler!
Do you remember when we were revising for our PMR Sejarah examination? We came up with ingenious ways of remembering the names and states of our Tokoh Perjuangan Kemerdekaan. Tok Janggut and kambings in Terengganu!! And the various asexual reproduction methods of plants? Ubi keledek keledek keledek!!
Do you remember Goey's Malay classes? We'd bring photos and Cleo and talk about everything and anything while he went on and on about Bukit Kepong. And if we got too noisy, he would always call your name and threaten to throw you out because he never could remember my name.
Or Moay's classes, after which your mother would forget to pick you up because she was too asyik watching TVB drama programmes. Anak lap sap. =]
Do you remember the time we went to Sunway Lagoon? You were sleeping over at Aizah's the day before and was still asleep when I went over. Smiling as you slept. Always a little ditzy. It took us 6 people,a horrible singing squirrel, and half an hour of harassment to wake you up.
Do you remember the accounting classes at SS2? I would always fall asleep and you would laugh at me when I'd jerk suddenly and wake up. Then later we switched to our loan-shark-hunted-sexay-Indian mumbly accounts tutor who ran off once and we said his house was being burned down by tai yi longs. And my dog would dutifully hump your leg every time you came over while I was still in the bath. Prince finds you sexy.
Do you remember the bitch fights and the cattyness of secondary school? We stuck close through it all. Thankyouallahjesusbuddhavishnuliamgallagher.
Do you remember the Christmas I left home? We went to a snooker place in Hartamas to finish off the night. You shut yourself in the bathroom for a long long time. You couldn't stop crying. I never knew you would miss me that much. Nor did I know I could miss you that much too.
Do you remember the framed collage you made of our pictures? I brought it to Singapore and stuck it above my desk. I still keep it, hung over the bed in my room.
Do you remember Chilli's and how I ate like a caveman? Or our pact to go out together one day, armed with a box of dates and pick up guys? Or karma's free flow nights where you got tipsy once and we stole mickey mouse balloons off random cars?
Do you remember?
Because I sure as hell do.
Miss you Blorish.
