Old School Friend

As I was getting out from the car, hubby who is still in the driver's seat tried to get the attention of a lady in blue baju kurung nearby. She could be someone he has worked with before. I looked at her and she looked at me and both of us hold out our hands and reach for each other. Hubby must have a very confuse look in the car hehehe...

She's my secondary school friend. We're from the school of the radiant princesses :) It has been a really long time. Yeah she knew hubby way before I even knew hubby. She's a company client and she told me they always argue before. If I have been married to hubby when they were working together, she said hubby would have a lot of complaints about her and I probably have no idea hubby's referring to my friend :)

In the car later, I was quiet. Hubby asked me why? Meeting and old friend must have been very nostalgic and I could be thinking about an old affairs. No lah dear hubby :) How can I have affairs in a girl school. Meeting an old friend brings me back to those time when I was an innocent wide-eyed girl with big dreams and aspirations. I don't know what exactly I wanted to do when I grow up but I wanted to be rich and successful and able to help my family.

Reality check:
- Help family... check!
- Successful... half way there.
- Rich... not even close. Heh!

I consider myself privileged to have a good education. But thinking about my big dreams and aspirations, I can't help but think about our education system which other successful people has also gone through but I didn't end up like the highflyer, rich and famous person I envision I would be. Just good education is not enough. There's something more than that. Some people got it, some people don't. Or is it?
