Not to worry, I am sure Pakcik has many years to look forward to, insyaAllah. I made my first visit to Makkah in 1992, that's 20 years ago. Perhaps Pakcik's comment is an indication for me to make another trip soon.Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-7317291041330403282012-02-06T00:43:55.831+08:002012-02-06T00:43:55.831+08:00Regret for the reference to Haj.

I checked back and discovered the mistake.Old brain is playing trick!

Make the best of it, Oldstock. You have lost seven of 121, under 6% of the group. Of my group of 42 we have lost 13, representing about 30%. Now when we meet to talk about the dear old biddies who have gone, wondering which durian will gugur next.<br /><br />You have just returned from Mecca. That is as good time as any to begin a new phase as you expressed it earlier. All the best to you and Salaam.Al-Manarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203360858632549270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-79272745504334964162012-02-05T23:00:05.078+08:002012-02-05T23:00:05.078+08:00Lili,
The reservation that we sometimes feel when...Lili,<br /><br />The reservation that we sometimes feel when we meet up with old friends is when we start comparing how we've come along after all these years. That is understandable.<br /><br />But the choice is always ours... we may wish to re-connect with some people and remain distant to others. Bukan nak kata kita sombong, cuma we always like to be close to those of the same wavelength, tak gitu?<br /><br />So don't be too afraid of saying hello to old friends who are re-discovering us. Mungkin kita sama-sama segan nak mengimbau kenangan lama, but that doesn't mean we could not remain as friends, kan?Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-46638578738363819082012-02-05T22:47:25.353+08:002012-02-05T22:47:25.353+08:00Hliza,

I guess I was just lucky that my time in Kuantan was generally okay. As I said, not all who came out of our school make it big time, but that's not the school's fault. But for those of us who have made it a success in some small way, we have a lot to thank our teachers, because they encouraged us to be creative and far-sighted.<br /><br />I hope Iqa will do well too...Fadhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091828414987087822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-47527175652386985372012-02-05T22:40:31.214+08:002012-02-05T22:40:31.214+08:00Ayoh Wang,

But, sad to say, my inferiority held me back from reliving those nostalgic moments, like Ayoh Wang said; and I remain isolated. <br /><br />Reading your posting here, has made me thinking...yeah, for the old time's sake...why not I give a shot?! Thanks, Oldstock. ;-)<br /><br />ThanksLilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710604193302974019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086109446112192763.post-74580143909973587752012-02-05T05:00:25.189+08:002012-02-05T05:00:25.189+08:00I was only 6 when you start studying here!
