Re-Connecting (online) with old friends...Yesterday I had a nice conversation with Chrissy Pacaldo whom I have not spoken to for almost nine years, At first I did not remember her but after a few seconds when she said hi, I remembered her as a nice and friendly girl in college with a sultry voice. I remembered working on few assigments with her during our college days in KDU. I lost touch with her when continued my studies in Perth. Hema our mutual friend at college reccommended Chrissy to my FB friend lists. I must say Facebook in awesome in reconnecting with old friends.
When I asked Chrissy whether she remembered me, she said, "Of course I do", I almost wanted to cry because I thought most people in college would not remember me. I was a shy and not so friendly person in college because of the age gap. I was a mature student when I pursued my degree. Chrissy now resides in Manila and engaged to a Filipino guy. She asked me about my disease and told her about my disease. Would love to catch up with you Chrissy, when you are in KL. let me know ya..
The night before I was chatting to Sharifah who was also a mature student in the college. We hardly talk. maybe just exchanged smile and hi and bye, that's about it. But I always remember her as a determined lady from Singapore who had cancer and now she is a cancer survivor. She was married with kids when she studied in KDU. She always hang out with the gang at the college entrance before she went back and I would waved my hand to them and straight away left college after class. Kak Pah it would nice to hang out with u if u ever in KL.
This morning with Ahmad Kamaruzzaman my former schoolmate for whom I've lost touch for 19 years. He left Victoria Instituion after we finished our SRP in form 3. Since then I never hear from him until today when I met him on FB. He read about my disease that I wrote on my profile. He shared his experience with me regarding his sister's sickness which is similar to MND. His sister had Multiple Screlosis (MS) and has passed on last year, June 6th.
He told me about how the family took care of his sister and the symptoms. I told him I had similar symptoms. He sasked about my medication and theraphy. and he he would give me a tradisional medicine that his sister was on, for me to try.
TQ guys for remembering me, for your support and include me in your prayers. I hope to reconnect with more friends whom I have lost touch.
