My friends
Finally after so many years, I met one of my old schoolmate. Not just any schoolmate. She was my close friend too. There's also another girl and three of us always stick together.
So we met in KFC, i had to 'belanja' since she just graduated and now looking for a job. Then we did some catching up on old news. Mostly we talked about the third girl and i'll get to that in a while. Before that, let me give you guys a sneak preview of my secondary school life.
The three of us are very close. We usually do things together. The first girl, the one i met in KFC is a bit on the plump side so everytime she walks, the guys in my school tease her by saying,"careful, the earth is shaking'. She also gets angry very fast, loves to shout, and a bit on the stubborn side but nice at heart. She's also active and comes from a moderate kampung family. The second girl is a big chatterbox. She can talk and talk and talk and you will never get bored. Sometimes when i have any stories to tell, i used to tell her first and then get her to tell it back to us coz she makes it much more interesting to hear. Ha Ha, Really! This girl comes from an estate with parents who used to be rubber tappers.
Let's get to the third girl. That's me! Well, i was the quietest among the lot. I used to be studious(now no more =) ) so my head is usually burried in a book. I had very low self esteem and have never spoken to any of my indian guy classmates or schoolmates. I wore thick glasses with maroon frame which covered half of my face, luckily i didnt wear that to University. I changed the frame to a smaller one due to peer pressure in Form 5, hihi! My hair was short, which i always marinate with some indian oil. Basically i looked like a nerd and while most of the girls in my class were either getting boyfriends or love letters, i used to lament about my looks. I later found of from one of my ex-guy schoolmate whom i finally spoke to through the internet chat rooms when i was in University, that they didn't talk to me coz they respected me and he even wanted to be like me..Whoa!
So these two friends of mine got their respective boyfriends in secondary school. Those two guys were not from my school. One was a mechanic while another was from another school. The first girl's relationship was fine. She did her Form 6 and went off to University while the guy dropped out. Now he's working and doing part time diploma. The parents on both sides are fine with the relationship.
The second girl is the one who suffered the most. Among us, she was the one who was totally against marriage and we used to tease her that when we were busy working, she would probably be pregnant with her 6th kid. Well, it went on that she was the first to get a boyfriend. The guy is not educated and an orphan but he was a good person. I met him once back in KL. So while in Form 6, her parents found out, they were against the relationship and almost killed her.
They broke up for the time being. Before that, she and him went to see a fortune teller and the teller said for sure, that they will not be together as man and wife. Then she got an offer to do her degree. She went off. The guy secured a job in KL and they were dating again.He was the one who motivated her to study all the time,giving advises and making sure she eats well etc. He also won't take her out anywhere unless she completes her studies for the day. When she was back home for holidays, the parents miraculously found out abt the relationship again, 'jampi' her food for her to forget the boy. Luckily, her sister found out and warned her not to eat the food served by the parents.
Reasons against the relationship:- He's an orphan therefore he's not from a good caste. He's not educated.
Now,she's off to do her teaching course. The parents are looking for a suitable man for her. First girl predicted that the second girl wont marry the guy of her choice. The parents would probably 'jampi' her food again and make her forget the guy eventually.
We suggested that she runs off and gets married first. I hope she will marry the man of her choice.
Technology advances. Indians stay the same..
Duh!
