Do you remember, Ravi ?

17th January 2006

It was the year 1976.
My first experience of school.
My first found friend, best of friend.
A curly-haired, dark and skinny boy -- straw in his mouth, sipping 'coca-cola' from a plastic bag.

30 years later.

It was 12:03 pm, a hot afternoon.
A tall chap in his bright red shirt stood across the street looking at me.
Off we went for lunch -- just as we did together in the school canteen.

Cheers.

Yes, I remember 1976 but was it coca cola or coffee "o" ? But my memory is very clear when we met in Plentong the coffee shop! Your dad was delivering coffee to Ah Seng's shop. My eldest sister was with me. You are in the car J--404 was it red or blue car? That good old days. Anyway, I happy to see you. You look better, more "meaty" and muscular. Cheers to Swee Hwan!

Very nice little story, Deer and Ravi.
These are the stuff theatre is made of. The truth, well told.
