The Secret - my version
Ashe: Ooooo, ko jumpa Rizal Shah ada masa, ngan aku asyik kensel. Takpe la, aku sedar sekarang sapa diri aku ni.
Mainey: Daaaah laaa tuu, drama king pulak laaaa buruk sunggoh. If you can drive over to my area, we have lunch together. Come over this Friday?
Ashe: I am putting it down the second time in my Blackberry and I'M NOT cancelling it again! Dah la tak jumpa dah 20 years, ajak bukak posa boleh lak datang cam VIP kul 10!
Mainey: Eh, I ni kan blue blood, kira bagus la I nak mencemar duli tau!. Okaaayy, okaaayyy. Jom makan, put time put place.
Facebook has its advantages and disadvantages. But I like that it does this to me, I found my childhood friends in Damansara Utama, those who played adang-adang, teng-teng, basikal with me.
And I found most of my primary school mates, one of the best times of my life.
Ash: U ingat tak Raymond?
Mainey: Of course la I ingat, I always thought he's a phoney rich kid. But.... takkan la whole year through he could treat us all 20 orang for those free McD's and KFC meals kan?
Ash: Eih, his company is now supporting Google Asia and Microsoft Asia ok! Dah la mamat tu one time kitaorang panggil dia Muhammad Raymond, dia mati-mati nak masuk Islam.
Mainey: Serious?
Ash: Not anymore la, lepas dia jumpa awek Cina. And remember Haris we met that day?
Mainey: Yeah, he gave me his card masa bukak posa hari tu. VP of Khazanah... but Khazanah kan full of VPs?
Ash: That is just one of his portfolio babe. He is sitting on BOD for CIMB ok!
Mainey: But he was like a nucleus dowh kat sekolah, biar benar!
Ash: And Fazlan, anak Txxxxxx Ramli tu, kan you jumpa dia jugak. Nampak sempoi je kan.
Ash: He handles quite a sum of his dad's properties. Come nanti kita gi ranch dia sesama kat Kuang. The best horses around are in his ranch.
Mainey: Oh, I remember... the whole family never had any air of snobbishness. He was telling me about his two kids and how he needs to spend more time with them.
Ash: Ikhwan you tak jumpa kan.
Mainey: I saw him walking towards his car. Dia tak bawak wife dia ye?
Ash: Wardina? Eh, I told him not to la, nanti semua orang tak leh focus. Hahhaha!
Mainey: You sorang je la yang bother nak buat gathering suma ni.
Ash: Eh, kat sekolah kita ada ke bercakap?
Mainey: Mana adaaaa, you tu sikit lagi nak kena tampar by me ada laa.
Ash: Apsal?
Mainey: Sesuka hati nak cium orang depan cikgu. Budak gila!
He was laughing his head off. 'Ah, ah, dulu Nina Kxxxxla.... dia kejar aku dengar ruler besi, nasib baik tak belubang peha aku! Aku pegang tangan dia jeeee.'
.......
Being in my line of profession, doubled up with being the second in its ecosystem, there's only so much superficial conversations -- over trade shows, over demanding principal, over change management, over high attrition rate.
T'built a barrier around me, thou shall not speak unless spoken to. Coz I will speak to only those I know, for the sakes of self preservation.
...
We went on talking over lunch coz I know, stuff on facebook would intrigue him to delve further, I just wanted to know how old friends are doing.
Then came the question, "Ko nak keje makan gaji berapa lama lagi ni? Mind me for jumping the gun. Our communication gap was 24 years, but coming from a guy who spoke to thousands of loan applicants... rugi la ko ni tak buat something on your own."
......
Ko tanak dengar la apa yang aku buat. Thank God my husband je has the same vibes.
Aku penat penat datang ni, ko jgn tanak citer sampai habis. Shoot it now please eh!
Ok! But... don't laugh!
... we want to venture into agriculture. Yeah... we don't know shit about it, but at least the affection on the idea is there.
Wooohhhh! *He shook my hand. I'm looking forward to that too.
Then, he went on talking about his cousin's farm of sheeps in Taiping, and how it is done with state of the art agrotech with... a lot of love.
I smiled at him and said that I probably can't really get onto hands-on models. It is 'kayu gaharu' I am looking at.
Then he said 'Jatropha'?
Shit..... you know about it?
Of course! I know about it inside out cuma tanah aje aku takde - you got land?
And I probably know about it 1/5 of what you know but about land, I'm working on it.
We both just stared at each other.... in hundreds and thousands of friends, what is the possibilities of someone forcing you to meet up again after two decades, let alone the possibilities of speaking about the most obscure agriculture idea.
It boggles my mind again, on Law of Attraction and what we doa for.
..... God, You Are The Ultimate wonder.
