In the last 13 years, I just focused myself to the life I have, my education, job, family. Kind of forgotten those old friends with whom I spend my school years in my hometown, Palembang. Thanks to Friendster and Facebook, lately, I found them back one by one. It's kind of funny that all of sudden I got connected again with my teen-life. It brought me back to the time when I was a little rebel, it made me think...'HOW CRAZY I WAS?' LOL..Why I was crazy, cause I loved to debate with my teachers whenever I found that they slipped with their words. Be honest, I didn't feel sorry for what I did, I know it's not so polite based on Asian culture to debate with elder people, but I was born with a liberal thought all over me, I just couldn't stand when they use the excuse ,'...because you are only a kid, so you can't....' or 'beacuse you are a girl, then don't expected to be able to do what a boy could'...I couldn't stand of those, not even now. I believe I have the right to speak out my mind , in a good manner, when I found myself on the opposite site of the matter.
Back to the story, so this is about the reunion I had with my long time friend , Joeska. She is currently living and working at ETH, Zurich - one of elite university in Switzerland. In the last 1 year, we tried to meet but never done it until last week. We visited the Zurich Zoo (there where we're met), had coffee, then dinner together. It's was a delightful afternoon-evening. My children loved her, so did she. I remembered that I joked on her when he hold my children hands when they're walking together , I said 'Joes, careful if someone seeing you with my children, they might things that you had 2 children already ' LOL....
After we dropped my hubby and children in the hotel, we went out to have a walk until we reach one of the top hill in Zurich center, not far from the hotel. We had a small talked up there, while seeing the beauty of Zurich at night. It's actually not more than review what we had together before at school...but it's so heart-warming. We both agreed, after 13 years, never even once we tought that we might be able to see each other again since we both lost 'total' contact, plus...who ever even think we might meet in Switzerland...this country never been on our list as a place where we want to go either for education or to live. Anyway, here we are, in Switzerland, and last week, we finally met again after 13 years.....who said 13 always be a bad number, it's one of our lucky number
