Thank God this time I fly with MAS Airline on a midnight flight where I had a good night sleep after a full stomach filled up with yummy 'Pan Mee', and many other good fillings at Plaza Premium Lounge.It's my new favourite lounge at the airport now. One of the tour member Juliana whom we got close during this Eastern Europe trip told me she saw me at the lounge that night eating non-stop and she couldn't believe that a petite lady like me can really eat that much. Haha...I told her if the food is really good then I can eat a lot.
What to do, we the
Malaysians are too pampered with all kinds of glorious
good food all around Malaysia, you name it we have it. And although the
Hungarian Restaurant were full of tourists like Malaysians of us in the VIP room, the Japanese, Chinese or
the ‘Guai Lou' with local performance by the old-timers. They're experience enough knowing how to melt our hearts by singing ‘Rasa Sayang’ song but the food was dissappointing lot. Well, I guess I cannot compare the food subject with our Malaysian food anymore but to forgive and forget it asap, or it's gonna destroy my happiness of a happy holiday in Europe.
The day before I fly to
Frankfurt I reminded my dear Charmers again that next Saturday I’m not coming to meet them so my
dear LeAnne won’t be waiting for me like mad. That day I told her she already bo happy, as everytime I told her that she told me she
doesn’t want me to go anywhere, be it China ka, Europe ka or anywhere else unless we’re
all going together. This time, she also like ‘Bin Jui’( L) liao but I assured her it’s only one Saturday and I promised to get her
nice souvenirs from Austria.
I met them last
Saturday, Lynette came to me and wishing me “Amituofo Dai Yiyi” almost 3 times
and hugged me so tightly till I can't breathe even when I was busy eating. Haha…she’s like that one. I remembered the Cambodian maid told me one Saturday she didn’t see me one Saturday after searching the whole house she asked her, “Where’s my Dai Yiyi?” as she's expecting to meet me every week to have a good chat together. Both LeAnne and Ying Shan grew up so fast this year they're gonna be 10 and 11 years old. I missed those time spending years with them.
Nowadays, all 3 of them talk like normal adults and they know many things they learned from daily sharing with friends at school. I told my sis+mom about it as they thought they are still young but I told them, "No, they knew it as I hear their stories sharing with me. They actually talk about politics asking about rocket and 'dacing' parties." And everytime, whatever subjects we shared among us the 10 ladies, they actually sit side by side next to me, listening to it and they asked me questions if they have any doubts about it. I think they grew up too fast now, I wish the clock can try to tick more slowly from now on.
They also remind me from time to time to give away my dress for them as soon as possible. Everytime I come on Saturday LeAnne would comment, "Wah, so nice this dress, I like it. Don't forget ya Dai Yiyi, you promised to give me your dress when I grow up". Ying Shan heard that and shouted, "Yea, me too". Lynette, although the youngest one among 3 of them but she never 'Jap Shue'(never lose out any opportunity) kinda girl and shouted it out loud, "Me too Dai Yiyi". "Haha...Ok, sure thing," I replied them all. Even one Sunday I had lunch with them, they saw my crystal bling bling shoes they asked me to buy it for them. I told them I would do my very best to look for them.
Haha...we cycle to SKBBSP school together sometime. My school in DAB was too far away from Seri Petaling, so my mom moved us to this new school with my brother Ahboy started his Standard 1 here, my sis in Std 3 and I started Std 5 with all my neighbours around me. I have two neighbour boys and one malay girl called Linda who grew up with me in Seri Petaling since 5 years old but all of them went to Salak South school except for me. But this time, all of us went to the same school and we had great times together in the same class. 'Yat Dui, Ye Dui'(day and night meet) like a happy family as Linda always come to my house looking for me for story books and I always went to her house for makan-makan(eat).
That's why Ray, my friend said that day I used to mix only with the malays and seldom mixed with the Chinese, in the last friends' gathering at his cafe+music shop in Endah Parade. Haha...I replied him, "No lah, I usually hang out with them because we're all 'Pengawas'(prefects) and I was also the 'Monitor' in the class so we always meet up for duty rotation discussion all the time to make sure our school runs smoothly for Monday assembly. We also clicked really well because we stayed close to each other". I mixed with everyone actually, no racist or gender count as good friends are hard to find esp.the ones we can stay laughing and crying together.
The most important thing in finding a good friend is the person must be kind enough, 'hati mesti baik dan bersih' I always said that to everyone. That's how we can clicked and uplift each other for better support. Sincerity counts and that's how the friendship can sound for many years to come. Yea, although I met many new friends all along the journey of my life, I never forget my old, long lost friends because we're lucky to be destined been together in this life.
Like the Chinese always said, 'Yau Kam Sang, Mou Loi Sai', you may have this kinda fortune/friends/life in this lifetime, not necessary you will have it in the next lifetime. It applies to relationships of family, friends and to many aspects of life. So treasure good things that's happening in our lives right now in the present as you'll never know what tomorrow will bring to us. That's life, c'est la vie!
