Dear John,
I'm not sure why you came to mind today...but I had 1hr to kill during lunch @ IPAM...and since you came to mind, I decided to do some soul-searching. Since the time I read it, I've been thinking abt this interesting portion on your updated profile:
"I've been told that I dont keep in touch with friends .. but thats something about me that came about some 2 or 3 years ago .. but I do stick to one thing that I tell all my friends .. I'm one phone call away .. Call me and I'll be there .. To all my friends ..thank you for understanding and enduring this part of me .."
I'm not sure if there are others who complain the same, but yes, that 1st sentence sounds so familiar...Ok ok, I'm guilty of always harping on the fact that you're always saying we should meet up, and it stops there...a mere saying!).
I tried to recollect how Kamal (aka Nikky) & I got back in touch...eventually becoming THIS close. I sure remember there was a gap of 10 years where our families had lost contact with each other. How come till today, you & I are still in contact..even if it was just an occasional sms (at least, we never forget each other, na!).
So why was I always fretting that you never make an attempt to keep in touch...and today, I finally recalled how Kamal came back to my life. It was through you! In 1 of our MSN chats (that's keeping in touch, no?), you were the 1 who insisted I joined Friendster (remember when u asked me "Do u have a friendster?" and I asked "What animal is that!?"). Although Friendster wasn't my cuppa tea, I made it my daily dose...and bcoz of Friendster I spotted Kamal and...the rest is history.
So why was I always fretting that you never make an attempt to keep in touch?!! How could I be so ungrateful? Never once did I acknowledge the fact that you've given me the BEST of you - your sis, Kamal (aka Nikky). For as long as there's Kamal & I..there's a thread that binds you & I..forever. Thanks John! We're quits. I've no more complaints!

LOL...Tks Habibi Liah...u made my day! *sigh* Those were the days I could easily kid myself that I'm Madhuri. Oh well, that was Madhuri @ age 23 on 30 Oct 1999 (Johnny's 21st b'day bash).

Tks! Yup, I knew Johnny when I was in Sec 3, and he in Sec 1. He intro me to his family then, and Nikky was just in Pri 4 I think!!! Today she's grown up to be a 24 yr old fine lady!!
