Where should I start? Hmm… ok on Xmas day I spend little to chat with Bel (my best friend & my neighbour). Because I don’t make it home this year, I ask her to become my eyes, my ears. Even to drink on behalf of me heheh. During conversation, I ask her what happen back there in kampong? How is Xmas? Any “big” story? Any new from others? (friends)
Forgot about Xmas coz this is not Xmas story. Bla bla bla bla….
Bel: Weh, Emy will get first child this January
Me: Really? Great! Finally. The first one haha
Among “us”, Emy is the first one to married, and the first one to have a child. There are many of “us”, school together since we are in primary school. Since we are grow up together, school and hostel, our bond is strong. Even we separated during secondary school (the same school actually but different classes), our relationship still going strong.
Among these “many of us” there are few of us that are really... really… close. Myself, Bel, Na, Emy, Nereus, Pal and Nadine. Not directly close but the “third person connection” makes us close. Complicated relationship right?
Now we are all over Malaysia but it’s not a problem for us to keep in touch, communicate especially in this era of IT & Facebook. Once or twice in year, during Gawai & Christmas we made a small reunion, gathering, bbq, karaoke, chit chat and have fun.
There is famous topic that we always discuss when we meet up. “When will you getting married & who will the first one?” Most of us denied it. “We are still young”. “I want to enjoy my life first”, “get a stable life first”, “no candidate”, “frust of relationship”, “not ready”, etc… Unlike the other of “us” (the many of “us” group) some of them already married & have a couple of children. Mostly because of MBA – Married By Accident.
Back to the 7 of us, everybody seems to reject the idea of early marriage. But who knows, and by God will, Emy, the most unexpected person is the first. I even joke to her “Mie, if we still single until 30, both of us married la.” And among “us”, I am the last one to know… duh!
Hope it not too late for Emmy Christy Vincent, Congratulation!
Who next? to be continued….
