ROAD BLOCK!

Had a good time ever during the school break although it was in the middle of a fasting month…as usual my place of choice is KL where majority of my friends reside. Makes one wonder sometimes why did I end up working outside KL? I guess its fate but it’s not too bad after all.

Anyways, I went to KL on a Friday, just a few days before the school session reopens. Of course the ever so lovely Fairuz invited us all for a sleepover at her house and a sahur session with the gang.

One word of advice, never ever arrived in KL by 4 or 5 pm coz that’s when the traffic jam starts. But had to endure it anyway, coz u gotta feel what the KL-lites are experiencing day after day.

Anyway, we break fast at Tini’s (my usual ‘lepak' port) and had a good home cooked food courtesy of Linda (thanks Linda for the food!)

After my friends had performed their ‘tarawikh’ from Masjid Bangsar, we were making our way to Fairuz. Oops, forgot to mention that K Lin came with her only girl, Princess Sarah..and then off we go! (Thanx K Lin for driving as moi’s eyesight is not that good at nite driving these days)

After we arrived, we headed straight to her home somewhere in ***** ****….and she greeted us like her usual bubbly self. I was introduced to her son who is so cute…must be the good genes from mommy and daddy!

And by 3am we were heading to some mamak joint in SS2. By this time we were in K Yate’s car…(thanx K Yate for driving again for a zillion times)…

As we were busy talking in the car suddenly the rows of car in front of us started to slow down (and of course somebody mentioned a road block ahead)…

And yes it was a ROAD BLOCK….and suddenly we all kept quiet ‘til u can hear a pin dropped! All quiet and still inside the car…and we didn’t say a word but to just keep quiet and drove off as we were not stopped!

The thing is, we were a bunch of 30 something girls in the car (minus Linda). All of us carried a valid driving license and we were all not drunk! Heck, we were going for a sahur session, for goodness sake!

I guess in the end, we were still that 18-19 year olds like the last time we were together; way, way back in UM when we were first introduced to the joy of nite life! How scared and timid we were. Time may have flies so fast but some aspect of our lives still is stuck there. Inside, we are that young girls of 18-19 years of age. We were so happy and so carefree then.

In fact, I dare say that the best of my lives were my UM days where I was surrounded by good friends. We drifted apart after graduation to work….and we did lose connection for more than 5 years. But thanks a lot to Facebook, we were rekindling old friendship that is hard to replace no matter how many new friends you get. We even had reunion and get together now….and its fun now since we have the money and the transport…

To me a good friend no matter how fast you get them or how long you have in gaining them is all a worth life treasure. No matter where life takes you, your friend will always be there and loyal to you. So don’t ever leave a friend for a man or anything else. Coz anywhere that you go, it is always the good friend that you end up returning to…

Going back to the road block story, it was a tale to be joked and laughed at during our sahur session while enjoying that enormous roti tissue, teh ais and nasi goreng ayam!!!
