Longest Conversation In My Life

I had a VIOP (voice over internet protocol) call via Skype with PL last night. I always thought I had nothing much to talk to her after so many years of not directly talking to each other. Furthermore, I am not a good talker. I was completely wrong!! Our conversation lasted at least 3-4 hours (did I calculate correctly, PL?). We had so much to talk about. It was my first conversation in Skype that lasted me more than 30 minutes. If I include phone calls, the duration beat every single conversation I had throughout my whole life. Of course, the duration included my conversation with her husband and the youngest son too. I didn't know the husband and sons previously. The eldest son was messaging with me for a while in Skype as well asking me about "why my mother said I am your son?" and computer related stuff.

I could not imagine myself feeling so close to an old friend I have not talked to for decades. Furthermore, I was not close with her since secondary school. We were close around Standard 4-5 period just because we used to annoyed one another among Yen Foo, PL, Phaik Shan and myself. I still remember Yen Foo called PL - "thea mau zhi" (steel helmet) because of her hair style last time. Hahaha....Phaik Shan, don't kill me....:)

I am glad for PL that she has such a happy family with a very good husband and good sons. PL, I cannot stop telling people about you because I am so happy for you.

I would also like to inform those from non-Raya classes in SMP years not to be shy about posting here. Please voice out. None of us care about SMP classes these days. Even if the whole world ignores you, I won't. I think some of you are aware that I mixed with any Tom, Dick and Harry back in SMP. I mixed with the naughty and bad students as well as good ones...both science stream and art stream. I was close with Shee Leong, Kooi Vee, Yen Foo, etc...they're all from art stream....even our "oh beh" (black horse or Mah Chee Soong). I was also close with Chee Beng, Boon Kheng, Chun Wai, Eng Hong, etc from non-Raya classes. I visited daily to Chun Wai's house to mix with the naughty gang from Taman Perlis too - I met one of them that I could not recognise years ago and had a short conversation with him...I found him to be a decent man now although he used to be a troublemaker. So, don't be shy....learn from PL. VOICE OUT!!! YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!
