Tough New Challenge!!!

3 weeks ago I was given the mandate as the VP for my high-school alumni association

My school is currently a high performance school in the country and of course the expectation is high to turn the alumni association into a better one

The pressure is just massive as everybody is putting eyes on you

On your every moves, and every decisions

The association is now driven by the young blood

For a school with a tradition of close to 40 years, the earlier generations surely have high hopes that the Generation Y can think something out of the box for the benefit of the school and the alumni members

It is something new to me, especially with all the politics involve but I don't care

I will lend my ears to every single person, with one goal...

TO GO FORWARD!

PAYBACK TIME!

We'll Miss You Zeta

We found Zeta at SACC Mall Parking Area

It was 5th April 2011

We were about to go back home when Eela saw a kitten walking towards us

With Mama's consent, we brought her back

She was calm on Eela's lap in the car

Enjoying the lights and the ride perhaps

The other cats were furious when they know we brought back another kitty to the house

Bobby was hostile, but no harm was done

Everybody else was furious as well, shrieking like nobody's business

Zorro (still Lolita at that time) was hiding behind the sliding door panel

The 1st ever picture of Zeta, right after she arrived

Who would have thought that she was a heaven-sent for Zorro

Zorro at that time was so aggressive towards human

The arrival of Zeta changed him a lot

Towards a more loving cat

Zorro loves Zeta so much

On the ironing board - her favorite spot

Zeta was different

She loves rice, spaghetti and things like that

She didn't enjoy cat food that much

A very persistent cat

Will meow like crazy until we feed her with her favorite food

And she's a permanent diner on our dining table

Will always "company" us when we were having our meal

Zeta with Zorro - before Raya Qurban 2011

Mama loves Zeta so much

Not that she doesn't love other cats but she tends to follow what Zeta wanted

We used to say that Mama's nose moved like Zeta's

How hilarious!

Zeta also gave birth to 6 kitties whom all didn't last long

They were sick and Zeta was also not well shortly after she gave birth

The kitties died one by one

A few days ago Zeta was having a fever

We brought her to the vet and the doctor thought she's having viral fever

However the test was negative

A jab was given and she was due for follow-up today

The vet admitted her to the ward because she was so weak

Few hours after that Mama received a call that Zeta has passed

I was waiting for my turn to see my boss at that time

Luckily I have to wait long enough so that he didn't notice how sad I feel that time

Zorro lost a companion

And we lost a lovely cat

Zeta, we'll miss you!

Today...Some 13 Years Ago

25 January 1999. The date is still fresh in my mind. My 1st day in Sekolah Menengah Sains Selangor, Kuala Lumpur.

Who would ever thought a "manja" boy like me who seldom perform any house chores made a decision to enter a boarding school? I still remembered at that time, the decision was only temporary. "One year is enough!" I told myself.

Who would ever thought the decision I made that time means a lot to me right now? I learned a lot of things over 5 years in SMSS. I learned how precious friendship is. A friendship that I still treasure till today. Friends without any benefits. A sincere friendship. Over the span of 13 years, we grow up together. Shared laughter and shed tears.

Had a chat with Amin Dede just now and we discussed on how tremendously everybody has changed. To a better person of course. Over the span of 13 years, I can say that I am proud, in fact VERY proud to grow together with people like all of you. And I am VERY VERY proud to say that everyone of us is doing fine right now and some of us has turned into a very successful human being. The feeling is extremely indescribable. Too abstract, too discreet.

I have to admit how time flies without us knowing. 13 years sounds very long but the feeling was just like yesterday. Next year Insya'Allah will be another year of friendship, another year of knowing each other. Hopefully, the bonds strengthen over time. People come and go, but memories and friendships are something that we need to cherish.

The past is for us to treasure and the future is for us to measure.
