The ever 'young looking' Abang Ujang..

Yesterday, my sis-in-law, May, SMSed me to inform that there was an article on my cousin 'Abang Ujang' in the NST. Abang Ujang @ Affendy Awalluddin is my Maklong Eda's 3rd child. He had been staying abroad ever since he was 18 I think... I was still young then... so I don't really got the chance to get to know him better. He is now staying in France... was married to a French lady and has 2 handsome sons.

I remember when we were young, we always looked forward to meet the famous Abang Ujang (Abg Ujang was staying in Germany then.. so sekali sekala balik of course la glamour! hehe) . We used to say that 'muka Abg Ujang ni macam muka Sudirman lah!!'. And he was like "Sape Sudirman ni?? Mana ada... Abg Ujang lagi hensem!!". That's the Abang Ujang I know... always cheerful and talkative :)

So yesterday, I didn't waste any time getting a copy of NST after receiving May's SMS. Wow... there he was... in NST's Street, Page 8!! There was a pic of him (what??? he's now 52??? NO WAY!!! He doesn't look 52... he's like MY age... so young looking!!). From the article I also learned some facts about him that I've never known before.... wow!! I am so proud of him.... !! A successful business man now! And surviving in France!! Though I wonder if he can still remember ME... the little girl who used to look at him with adoring eyes... hehe!

This morning I received an email from Along with a pic of Abang Ujang's reunion pic at his old school - Tuanku Muhammad School, batch 1963 - 1973. (Hah?? I was only 3 years old when he was doing his SPM????!!). And when I looked at that pic (refer to http://www.fnd-fnd.com/tmsweb/tms/groupPic2.html), I realised how young our Abang Ujang looked compared to the rest of his friends. Most of his friends either 'dah beruban' or at least looked their age, ada yang even 'bertongkat' ... but Abang Ujang is still steady!! I am so amazed! Abang Ujang... mind sharing the secret of your youthful look???;)
