That's what friends are for

That's what friends are for

Some of my old friends have discovered Facebook...and mind you, in the hands of the 'older group', the social networking site has become a pretty powerful tool. People of my generation really use it to touch base with old acquaintances, and it has helped to get connected with long lost friends.

Unlike some of the younger crowd, it is not about 'collecting' as many friends as possible. We add mostly people we know, and some of us really keep the social circle small. And although Facebook is quite 'open', it still somehow feels cosy.(at least the way my circle has used it)

Hahahaha...
Most of my old friends are on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. You see, most of us are of an age where our kids are in secondary schools and college...And that of course, it one of the 'fun-nest' times of our lives. So when old pictures are posted, everybody gets so excited.

I have been very lucky.
At each stage of my life, I have had many wonderful friends.
People I played and grew up with; people who stuck with me through thick and thin.

But I must say that some of the most special ones...are my JC heroes.
When I made the move not to follow the crowd and go to Catholic Junior college with the rest of my friends, I never dreamt that I would cross paths with the group over at ACJC.

Those were really special times...with the good moments and the bad.
But a special mention to the following guys...whose friendship with me have grown till today...even with our extended families.
Thanks...Ahmad, Irzan, Naz, Fendi, Jimmy & Aziz...you know why.

This one's for you:
