Australia may be big, but it has few major cities, and I’m currently residing in one of them. It’s still one of the closest places to home (Malaysia) for further education opportunities. Going back to Australia’s size, even if you study in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane or Sydney, you still end up in Melbourne, even if it’s just for a holiday.

I just came back from a little reunion of sorts. A primary school friend studyin in Brisbane came over here for a short holiday. A couple of phone calls later, me, Jack, Jun Wei, Lee Yuen and Joo Li (the one visiting) were over at Brunswick (later at Chappell) just reminiscing old times over coffee.

Primary school was fun. As little kids I still remember the silly things we did. We seemed to have all the time in the world. We’d think of games to entertain ourselves, drawing on pieces of paper. There were also many various activities, spring cleaning, sports day, teacher’s day etc etc. The field trips we had, and back then, parents seemed to organize stuff for our benefit. To this day, I sometimes think our primary school reunions are more like parent meetings, heh.

We also talked about old friends. The feeling’s kinda giddy, our fortunes turned out very differently. I’d not elaborate here, but sometimes I wish that fairy tales were true, and that things would end happily ever after.

Time flies when we’re having fun. We only managed a couple of hoursI don’t know when I’ll ever see some of my friends again. We’re always at crossroads and somehow, I believe that fate will bring us together again. Heh, corny maybe, but it was fate that introduced us to each other initially.

Now just waiting for England vs Portugal. Heh.. Go Ronaldo! Go England!
