I'm currently listening to Michael Buble's Sway. And I seriously like this song. I'm actually moving my hips in time with the music. Cute, huh. Anyway, last week, I was quite suprised by a number of events happening, almost at the same time. First of all, one of my uni friend messaged me to say that her grandmother was admitted into ICU. I tried to contact her after that but to no avail. I went passed the ICU ward a couple of times but couldn't see any of her relatives that I recognised. And I didn't know her grandmother's name, so I couldn't actually ask the nurses for her. Then finally I managed to contact her, and she said she would be at the hospital during visiting hours. I managed to see her grandmother. After that, spent a couple of minutes talking to my friend. I was quite worried for her, because she was very close to her grandmother. But I know she's strong. Very strong. Her grandmother passed away on Friday morning. Al-Fatihah.

On Thursday morning, got an sms from a very old friend. Actually, she was the daughter of my parent's friends. So, I got to know her when they had an open house years ago. That was when I was still in secondary school. But we still contacted each other all these years. She went to Ireland to do medicine. I went to Bangi to do IT. So, she was saying, she was meeting up with another mutual friend, and she wanted me to join them, as I haven't seen my other friend in ages, as well. So I said, definitely! But, there was a small thing to consider. I had to attend my cousin's tahlil. So, I told my friend that I would be free after that, but I would be with my parents. So, since both my friends were familiar with my parents, the three of us, (my parents and I) went to meet up with the two of them. It was fun. We talked, listened and talked some more.

Then, on the next day, which was on a Friday, went for breakfast at the main cafetaria, and my cashier friend told me that her sister, whom I know from my old office, has given birth to a healthy baby boy. She even told me which room she was in. So, that morning, after the monthly deparmental meeting, I went straight to the room where she was in. There, I met her and her husband, both of whom were my colleagues in my previous office. It was extremely good to see them and their baby. I haven't seen them in ages. Seriously.

So, that was what happened last week. Met up with a few really old friends.
