The Big Reunion
After a long night at An-Nadha Mosque for the NTUMS Movie marathon cum Qiam, I zoom off straight after subuh (taking 15 min fm Bishan to Jurong West!). Got home, checked my mail, and zonked out.
I woke up around 2, to be awaken by my sister, all dressed up. The situation was, Dad has a big high school reunion today. Ive confirmed with Mum that non of them are bringing their kids and so, I dont have to go. I dont know why but the conclusion was, all of us have to go. Ok im not in a mood to argue and all after ive just had a so called 'holy night' at the mosque, so im so not gonna waste that night for a blown up arguement.
So the plan was to go to a Mr Husairi's house at sembawang. So once there, we were rather impressed by the greenery of the place. Its a cluster terrace and its 5 floors high inclusive of the basement. So we met the rest of the gang. The clique from Pasir Panjang Secondary, Sunaryo, Anwar, Din, Maliki, Husairi and Nuriza(Mrs Husairi). Mr Jais couldnt make it though.
As expected, none of their children came. reasons "Oh my children are all grown up." My dad replied "My Son is also grown up what" haha...well...its not like I like to tag along my parents ok. Its just that as the eldest son, I think I have to get to know his close friends. Its highly encouraged.
So I felt really awkward, but as always, I made conversations with them, here and there.Now when we were ushered to eat , We kinda overheard that their (Husairi and Nuriza) daughter's name is Shirin..Shirin Husairi. Yanti found her oddly familiar. We then concluded that she was the one from Singapore Idol's first season. This was later confirmed by Mdm Nuriza.
She was there, entertaining her guests, Shes 24 and boy does she look different. Shes very friendly though and she is still active singing in private functions. We exchanged a few words and then she was off...for a performance.
It was a rather fulfilling event. Dad realy looked happy, meeting old buddies...reliving old times. Cik Husairi even had their old photos scaned into his phone...cool! Dad looked so good back then...hahaha
can`t you even see through me? `` Saturday, November 03, 2007
