Semalam Mak Lijah dengar kat Radio Er@ pasal FB. Teringat pula masa mula-mula Mak Lijah got hitched to this thing. Gosh... kesannya memang dahsyat sekali.

Mak Lijah must confess lah that I am not that IT savvy. Sekadar tahu klik sana sikit, sini sikit, itu pun with lots of guidance. Sebab tu lah tak reti nak pick up dengan segala benda yang internet could offer. Created this blog pun selepas digiatkan oleh kawan Mak Lijah, Pokcik. Tapi dia dah tak blog. Sibuk mengambik gambar plak.

Then came this FB. I can't really remember siapa sebenarnya yang invite Mak Lijah into this thing but I am pretty sure that orang tu dah berada di Geneva sekarang ni. He..he..he..

Masa mula-mula tu, really, I didn't know what it is all about and don't know what to do with it. Tapi, alah bisa tegal biasa. Selepas godek sana, godek sini.. hah.. baru tau impact maximanya.

Beberapa bulan lepas, Mak Lijah terima this friend request on FB dari seorang yang nama dia sangat-sangat familiar. Tapi, Mak Lijah tak boleh nak relate nama tu dengan wajahnya. Dah bertudung rupanya. Dia adalah Norma, my classmate masa kat Convent Green Lane, some 25 years ago. Tak sangka dapat 'connect' dengan dia. Rupanya dia sengaja search nama Mak Lijah kat FB tu dan dengan mudahnya dapat trace Mak Lijah. Mak Lijah pun tak de nak menyamar-menyamar kat FB. Memang itulah namanya yang terpampang.

Punyalah excited dapat berFB dengan dia. Dan dia pun telah suggested beberapa lagi classmate and schoolmate Mak Lijah and suddenly... wuuuusshhhhh....!!!! Berpuluh-puluh orang got connected. Excited gilerr... And from FB, I got to know that half of my classmates have either migrated or married foreigners. Most of them tak berubah wajah langsung (saiz tak yah bincang, ya?). Some still remained in Penang while some moved to KL. And some (shh.....!) Mak Lijah langsung tak ingat siapa dia. Tak ingat nama, tak ingat rupa. He...he..he..

Through FB, we walked down memory lane. Some mengingatkan Mak Lijah how they used to lepak kat rumah Mak Lijah dulu lepas aktiviti ko-kurikulum. This happened sebab rumah Mak Lijah is only a 5-minutes walk to school and terletak di laluan pergi-balik sekolah. They also still remembered my cat, Chakri (dah arwah), beraya ramai-ramai di rumah Mak Lijah, BBQ (for out-going prefects) dan macam-macam lagi aktiviti kat rumah Mak Lijah. Heh.. seronok rasanya zaman remaja tu...

I walked down my own memory lane too. I remember this classmate who had been such a difficult person to me. Made my life miserable. Dan sorang lagi yang kurang sensitif terhadap isu perkauman. Dia juga selalu memandang rendah terhadap Mak Lijah. Iyalah, dia pandai (scored all A's in all exams), athlete, prefect dsb sedangkan Mak Lijah hanyalah prefect cabuk yang dipilih oleh classmates lain yang selalu menyokong Mak Lijah. Both of them dah migrate. Baguslah. Semoga dia bahagia di sana.

And so this connection is just simply so great. F.r.i.e.n.d.s.. f.o..r.e.v.e.r
