" WHILE WERE ARE STILL HERE "






Dear friends,

Here I am again, trying so hard to write something on this blog. This is the first time I am writing a on a blog, so for me anything goes, as time goes by I will try to understand the rules of Blogging.

I am 44 years old born on 5 September 1964 at 11.55 am at Sungai Petani District Hospital, Sugai Petani Kedah.

As far as I can remember, my life has been a wonderful journey.

Good or bad experience for the last 44 years has been ingredients of who I am today.

Good or bad, Black or white all these experience has been and always be a good thing for me.

The only thing that I missed the most is that the journey to reach where I am today felt like split seconds.

I have been zooming through my life without noticing what is going on around me.

It was fun, fun, fun and fun all the way till I am here, now I realize that I had missed something.

That is why I am here to today.

going down the memory lane is something new to me because I am a right now right here person.

There is No Yesterday and there is No Tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone and Tomorrow will never come.

Everything I do is right here right now.

On 30 August 2008, we had a Reunion Dinner for University Of Malaya Law Faculty Class of 88

We graduated 20 years ago and this is the 1st time we are gathering together after our graduation in 1988.

20 year is along time, but f0r I felt as if it was yesterday.

I looked around me and I noticed a few faces but unfortunately I can't remember of any fun memories with these people, my fellow students of MULAWFAC8488.

My life in campus was fun, fun, fun and fun but with whom I had these fun activities I can't even remember.

That is a very sad thing!!!! all I remember I had fun outside the campus while I was having a campus life.

I never really had a student life BECAUSE OM or Omar Bakhi Ahmad was never around.

(MIA) when it comes to classes or tutorials or college activities. Even when I was there, my mind was somewhere else

Whilst Ramona was showing a video during the Reunion Dinner I noticed my face wasn't there untill the very few last days in campus. What is more frightening I can even put myself anywhere in the campus, library, lecture halls, tutorial rooms ???

All I can remember was the time I appear through the front door with a puppy face trying to get lecture notes from fellow lady students, I can't remember who or how many of them at the front row but I do remember Azizah!!!!! and the word (malas or pemalas)that's me.

Nice try with the puppy face and all kind of persuasion but I did get the notes.

However I still Remember (Along) Jalilah help me out when I pull a stunt at her Seventh College.

I still remember when I borrowed Sapura's Lecture notes or Tutorial notes but forgot to return it. pity Sapura!!!

Or the time I borrowed Siti Fatimah money to go back to our home town in Sungai Petani and forgot to return the money.

Anyway did I return the money????

Siti Fatimah and I came from the same shcool Sekolah Menenagh Ibrahim Sungai Petani!!!

Well this the first time in my life after campus I am writting this long.

" WHILE WE ARE STILL HERE " LETS SHARE OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER!!!

DO NOT LET MEMORIES SLIP AWAY.

SOME OF US HAVE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER LIFE, MOST OF US IS ON THE WAY BUT " WHILE WE ARE STILL HERE" LETS SHARE PRESENT EXPERIENCE.

PLEASE TAKE MY HAND DOWN THE MEMORY LANE BY SAYING:

EXAMPLE:

1. DO YOU REMEMBER THE TIME WE.........................................!!!!!

2. HEY!!! OM YOU STILL OWE ME......................................!!!

3. LIKE ANIS SAID THAT NITE "OM!!! REMEBER I USED TO DO THIS TO YOU!!!

4. ANYTHING THAT COULD BRING BACK THERE!!!



HELP ME TO REMEMBER, HELP ME TO CHERISH OUR MEMORIES AT UNIVERSITY MALAYA LAW FACULTY 1984 - 1988

PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN DURING THOSE PERIOD WOULD HELP ALL US A LOT.

" WHILE WE ARE HERE " LETS RETREAT DOWN THE MEMORY LANE BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.

Hi Om..

i think i'll raised few eyebrows by appearing first in this blog.. if they know who am i that's it..well i am zuraidah kadirun.

"puspawangi" is my blog name..its easier for me to enter most blog with my blog name, i dont have to sign up again. Why "puspawangi"? anybody watched P Ramlee's
"Musang Berjanggut" will know the leading lady name is puspawangi, a witty and clever kampung girl, went on to marry a prince and managed to help him to hoodwink bunch of old ministers and be King at last and she of course the queen...

and of course am not as crazy or as brave raja petra to use my owm name to my blog..actually my blog also got nothing much, only stories about my daughter and her friends..about their friendship..
maybe i'll write about my friendship with my friends from my schooldays, MU and some friends i made along the way...friendship is a wonderful thing and i am all for friendship that's why i fully supported your effort to gather our friends after the reunion...its a waste if after all the effort made by our "reunion committee" we go our own separate ways again..anor 20 years may not come..as you said tomorrow may never come...for some of us.

We may not be the best of friends before because we were busy chasing our degree though Om might beg to differ coz he said he was having lots of fun..unfair isnt it? he got his fun AND degree while some of us just have our degree..but maybe if we try we could be friends again...at more matured level of course...and Om if we count we have lots of "nieces" and "nephews" at the rate some of our clasmates are going..5, 6 kids and twins and triplets too..wow!!!

I have lots of things to remember and to forget too about our "paper chase" days..one day i cant forget was Graduation Day 1988..i spent the day crying because all my friends are graduating and receiving their scroll that day but i had to repeat the final year. Very sad day indeed. I graduated the next year of course but with anor batch of friends...

Well, enough of me going down my memory lane..what do i remember of you? i remember you being close with aziz aka dragon and fikri abazah in Kolej Pertama..and the three of you riding one bike...u may not remember this but only the two of us took Phychology class at Fakulti Sastera as an optional subject in our first year. It was a tough but interesting subject, but exam was made easy..i think i scored without much effort coz the questions was half objectives and half subjectives..

Got to go now..i hope many will join this blog soon..or join me in my blog: puspawangi@blogspot.com

did you managed to find your site? why no new posting OM.

looks like the all the aunties are at it again..they are organizing a hari raya gathering @ FRIM. Actually this is the revival of the "kuah rojak" gathering that we tried but failed to have in august.

The date is on the 18/19 of October, after the PMR. I think you have to check out your mail for details. We are hoping we can meet our friends families.
