I was awakened by an email received on last Friday while i was buried with the tonnes of work in the office. As usual, I would ignore those SPAM emails sent by any unknown sender. However at that moment it was exceptional, the subject caught my attention. "Former Corporation Primary School?" I read her brief message. She was looking for her former schoolmates and remembered she had a classmate name Kasmawati and therefore Googled my name. My name appeared in my Company's Website and she signed off with the name Su-Ling.
Tried very hard to remember but couldn't find anybody by the name of Su-Ling in my brain database. Tried again to retrieved but FAILED. Emailed her back with mixed feelings. Afraid she could be one of those impostors. Told her that she was right, I was from the school she mentioned but never had any classmate by the name of Su-Ling. In few minutes she replied feeling so ecstatic that i was her classmates. Described me as a petite girl with wavy hair (ooh yeah with dark skin looking so anak keling..hehe). Then she mentioned her name was Suriyati Samat. Now i remembered her. One quiet petite, chinese looking girl sitting in front of the teacher's desk.
I felt so touched that she could still remember my name. Well, Kasmawati sounds very 60's but its quite unique. Not many has that name. Therefore its easy to remember i guess. Since then we exchange emails updating each other about our lives.
This has inspired me to create a blog to get in touch with my former classmate. We had spent years together. To get together physically may be quite difficult due to some commitments so how about getting together through blogging? Hope i could get a positive response from everybody. Planning to create a database for collating contacts and particulars of everybody. Will post it up once it is ready. For now, i am waiting for your reply. You can reply me at the comment section in this blog or through my email address at watieabdullah@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you soon!
