Kamarudin Hussin: My Long Lost Friend

Don't know why lately I am becoming more and more sentimental with my buddies who has gone missing for years. Kamarudin Hussin is one of them. We parted ways in 1974, more than 30 years ago, when I left my beloved school in Tanah Merah (SMTM) to SMS Kelantan in Pengkalan Chepa and have not seen many of my old pals since then. He was the only other Kamarudin in the class then.

Then few weeks ago a got a call from Kamarudin Hussin, having succesfully traced my hp from another contact. Then last week he sms me, asking me to come to his house, for his daughter's wedding. We are getting old indeed. So I tracked down his home address, which is about 5 km from my house anyway. And I have emotional reunion with him today.

Kamarudin currently working with Telekom Malaysia in Kota Bharu, but his family stays on in Kajang.

I left him to entertain other guests. Will meet him for teh kosong sometime next week
