Those were the times...

Aiseh..What's wrong la with blogspot ni? I dunno why all the links in my sidebar ni pi turun kat bawah plak. I've tried doing all things imagineable in the template to bring it back up, tapi tak jadik pun! Cess...sungguh menjatuhkan imej saya sebagai bakal isteri kepada seorang IT Support. I just can't wait for my turn to switch to Beta Blogger or whatever sh*t tu.
Anyway, at noon today I had a nice long lunch at Sogo with Lea or Edzy as I call her ( thanx to Encik tareh for giving her my fon no.)
Now, the last time i saw Edzy was about 2 years back when she'd just given birth to her daughter - Lea Damea. She was still in confinement at that time. Today after 2 long years, she still looks the same, still the same old Edzy - or so i thought...
However, after a long talk i had with her, i realized that she's not the Edzy i knew from school. Gone were the girl who laughed like the devil (haha! seriously, u should hear her laugh dulu2...satu school bergegar tau!). She's now so polite and feminine, the opposite of me who still speaks as if I'd just swallowed a microphone. I guess being a wifey and a mother turned her into a more matured person than she was before.
Anyway, dah lama since i had a good laugh with my old school friends (Widad doesn't count coz we only got close during our Uni years). We talked, gossiped and laughed like crazy. At times when things get a lil bit hysterical we'd give guilty, apologetic glances at people around us. I sooo enjoyed my lunch today like i've never done in a long, long time.
Spending time with her today, I was transported back to my childhood where i spent most of my days at Edzy's house as her maktok (my tok sedara) took care of me when my mum worked.We were very close as a child. We went places and did everything together, even mandi pun sama-sama!
I still remember that time when we were already in Standard 6 and I'd developed a certain feeling of shyness, so i refused to mandi with her. And that young lady was so upset that she didn't speak to me for the rest of the day. Haiya.. This girl could sulk like no one else could tau!
On another incident, dulu-dulu besides playing masak - masak and dolls, we always liked to organize our very own colouring and drawing competition. The contestant were myself, Edzy and Bu Lea (her older sister). Somehow, i always won the competition. Edzy wasn't happy with it, she pointed out that i won because the panel of juries (consists of my maktok and aunty) liked me more. Then one day, after we've completed the drawings she suggested that we changed it before we showed them to the juries. I agreed. And surprise! surprise! her suspicion turned out to be true as the drawing i was holding (which is actually Edzy's drawing) was selected as the WINNER OF THE DAY!! Haha...just when i thought it was my talent that made me winner...Oh well...
Thinking back, I have many good memories with Edzy not only during childhood but also my teenage years as we went to the same (girls) school in our secondary years. Though we hang up with a different crowd, but we enjoyed the fact and made sure everyone in school knew that we're cousins. The best memories I had with her at school is during kelas agama, where we'd sit at the back of the class and made fun of the ustazah (garang) and some "celebrity friend" who we didn't really like. Man!! I really had fun doing it. Haha..
Now that I'm all grown up and paying my own bills, I just wish that I could go back to the times when all I had to worry about is how to get good grades in exams so I won't get scolded by my parents.
* Sigh * I wanna be teenagers again!!
