Bumping into old friends

Nothing beats the surprise of casually bumping into old friends on an ordinary work day in the office building :)
A few weeks ago, I was on my way out for lunch after a meeting, when a lady who looked so familiar walked passed me at the Dataran Maybank Tower A lobby. The lady also turned her head twice seeing me :D So okay… obviously she also thought I looked familiar eh? It took me a while to register who she is.. and when I did, I was like "Eh, Alus kan?" And she nodded her head happily. Oh wow, it had been decades! I have known Alus during my study days in the States. She was studying in Iowa State University in Ames and I would usually lepak at her place when I visited Ames :)) She and Nani were housemates and we ( the students from Kansas City ) were their frequent visitors :) And I had not meet her since I graduated in 1994 and left the States.
Me and Alus - reunited after 22 years kot?! :D
You look the same Alus! Sweet as ever! :)

Apparently Alus works with a software company and her office is in UOA building which is right beside Dataran Maybank. Okehh…. nanti boleh dating lunch sama ya! :D

Another old friend whom I bumped into during my lunch hour was Tinit. Well, this one was not exactly a surprise meeting laaa as I already knew that Tinit works with Maybank Etiqa and based in Dataran Maybank. But Tinit is a big boss now and it's actually not easy to bump into her. So I guess, rezeki kami berjumpa that day… 
Tinit and I used to be housemates in a rented apartment in Kampung Baru before I moved out when I got married :)

I also bumped into Woody @ Bahri, my senior during ITM days. This one tak boleh wefie lah kan… laki orang… hahaha! But it was great meeting him again. Still friendly and talkative as ever! You can never be bored with this one… ada jer celotehnya :D
Yours truly and Bahri back in 1990 during ITM Kesatria kawad competition I think… at ITM Terengganu.
Bahri was a commander in Kesatria whilst yours truly was in the ITM Band.
