Berbuka with friends

Yesterday went for our annual ( well Ramadhan is an annual thing ) berbuka puasa with our good friends. Anu ( brought his lovely wife Sheena and daughter Henna along ), Shazmi, Shah, Amelia, myself and hubby. It was nice as usual, rowdy as always and filled with stories of yesteryears antics as predicted.

I at the end of the meeting forgot to ask the pre-requisite question " Ko bila nak kawin ? " to the 2 unmarried ones, hurriedly did so. I had to ask or the night will be incomplete. We teased and confronted each other as close friends are wont to do and went home happy.

I am glad and thankful for my friends. I have known Anu and Shah since I was five and we were in the same class in Darjah 1 ( 1 Jingga by the way ). Shazmi although never in the same class with me, was always in the same school. Amelia and I became bestfriends in Form 1 when our similar height fated us to sit next to eachother and thus sealed our friendship. Dan also came into the picture in Form 1 and became close to Anu, Shazmi and Shah in their own right.

I once asked them if they formed a band, what will they call themselves ? Anu, after a few minutes, said 3B. 3B ? Yup, 2 Benggalis and 1 Banjar... although that Banjar is also a Benggali.... haha... Shah was absent at that time. He went AWOL for years, fleeting in now and then when he was on Malaysia soil befure returning for good a few years ago. DO we have to add and another letter to include him in ? No, they are known as the 4B now... well I think you know why.

You have no idea how our lives were entertwined. We survived laughters, fights, marriages, births and deaths. May Allah SWT redhakan the friendship of 4B and ummm...... 2G ? Maybe Amelia and I should pick something that has got to do with B too so that we can become 6 B ? Ohhhhh..... I know ... !!!!
