Where have all my classmates gone?

I’m meeting a friend from school days whom I haven’t seen since 1996. I will usually want to rub in a huge dollop of anti-wrinkle cream and flash some bling bling when meeting up with girls from school days, but not with SuYin.

Even after all these years, I feel as though I will be perfectly comfortable with her. I would have happily met her for a roti prata in shorts and cotton tee had we not decided to meet at City Hall where the green train line meets the red.

SuYin just came back from Tokyo where she visited Afiza. Siew Ming is in New York and SuYin met up with her too when she came back for a holiday. I haven’t caught up with any of them since 1996 and suddenly feels ashamed to have kept to myself.

Suddenly I feel like I want to fly to them and give every one a hug. Some other girls have gone to Munich, London, and other big cities. I want to see them and touch them again.

Since every one has flown so far away, do you think it will be crazy for me to live in every big city of the world for a year each? I’ll start with flights to India then go around the globe…
