the weekend was an utter splutter... the old form sixers gathered on dec 31st, each wary of the questions that the others would pose to them. Got a boyfriend ? Getting married soon ? What's your job ? What's your pay ? All these and others made the meeting , from the outset, a very tense and heady experience.
we had quite a meeting, converging out experiences of life over at the coffee bean of the curve, damansara perdana. Indeed some had turned out to have become posers; others have ambled along the slow trajectory of their nonchalant lives and have gone on to do more interesting things. one is teaching down syndrome kids over at the kiwanis home. another is teaching at a church run private school. yet another has become a gold quester...
all these things were strictly "you know i know" .. none of the words spoken between us were supposed to leak out. yet while we yakked the night away there was a sense of surreptitiousness.. some of us had not fully disclosed the truth of our lives to the others around us. as surely as an onion has rings, so too does society have rings. there are circles of friendship and i fear i remain on the outskirts of their friendship. i am an outsider.
were that i could command another tsunami and wash us pretenders all away!
