Through FB, I found friends masa sekolah menengah dulu...those from Sultan Ibrahim Girls' School (famously known as SIGS-JB) and those from SMS Muar.
I was in SIGS in 1981-1983. then halfway through Form 4, i succumbed to social pressure to attend boarding school..hence the move to SMS Muar.
Bapak was a civil servant who gets moved around the country every 5 years or so...hence i grew up in Taiping..Kota Bharu...JB...and Kuantan and so i attended banyak sekolah - i went to 2 sekolah rendah and 3 sekolah menengah!!
But somehow, the best memories are of my days in SIGS. Perhaps thats why i can remember more of my SIGS-friends. SIGS was a happening school back then. It had the best school band which won competitions around the country! Ahhhh...i can still recall the girls twirling in their mini skirts...In Form 2, my classroom was next to the field where the band would practice...needless to say i spent considerable time being told to stand whilst lessons was going on - as punishment for being more interested in the band's moves than the teacher kat depan tu! ahhh...and the crush we used to have on the drum major...i remember Wan Jay...hehe!
Anyway...after months of getting re-acquainted via FB...these friends and I have been "reuniting". I went to JB a couple of weeks back and met up with some of them - Sha, Orr, Nurul and Wan. We even took time to visit the old school...
But the meeting was too short..and there were too few of us...and so another one took place last weekend. Gempaq punya cerita! About 16 of us turned up and most have not seen each other since we left school some 25-26 years ago!! Some brought old photos and Prema brought the old school magazines. Bergolek-golek seme orang ketawa tengok gambar zaman dulu-dulu!! We were all so nerdy and geeky...so the 80s!!
Of course now most of us are a bunch of 42 year-old mums. Not so nerdy but definitely most of us has grown sideways! hahaha...Some had hardly change at all...some even wears the same hairstyle they've had since schooldays!! Like...OMG!!
Anyway..i'm ever so glad i found these girls again...and i hope this time we'll always be in touch..thank you FB!

My days are filled with joys and happiness eversince i got hooked to FB..it got even merrier when we, the SIGSian found each other..i'm sincerely thankful dgn kuasa Allah when muzal added me as her friend, over split seconds, we found most of our closest, looonnnngg lost schoolmates now..thanks to the famous PGL that reunited me, muzal, prem and push for the very first time after 25 looonggg years...tak puas, there it was, the second, the unforgetable, the memory-crunching, the emotionally sensation, senang cakap, the best reunion one could ever have...thanks to all my dearest friends, you are more like sisters than friends to me...thanks to FB, you're simply amazing....
Love u, muzal and love you all (you know who you are)...may we stay close as long as it takes...bless us all, aminnn :-)
Very nicely written! Bravo! (BTW, I tgh diri atas kerusi and tepuk tangan for you nih!!! LOL!).
Tak sangka ek...I bukannya baik/close ngan you (not you only lah!!)pun tapi 2 kali jumpa tu, cam dah kenal bertahun2! Giler aje! Thanks for making me feel so comfortable. Aku actually segan giler nak jumpa korang but that feeling was forgotten the moment we met at Sha's place and sambung kat KL during the last precious weekend!
Thanks for being fantastic friends, and like Orr said, insyaAllah we will remain friends!
