One of my co-workers looked at my blog today.
“Lecram Sinun? Is that a new Star Wars character?” she quizzed.
“ Yeah…“ I smirked. “He’s color blind, dyslexic and has an appendage that doesn’t work..”
“Cool.” came the quick reply. Then she frowned, “So why doesn’t his bandage work?”
I concluded that this was yet one more reason to leave.
St.John’s 
Vertebrate had earlier shared a school-daze memory in a posted comment. It got me digging back into those dusty sections of my mind.
The first thing I remember was looking out the window close to the end of the school day and looking at the Bukit Nanas girls getting out 10 – 15 minutes before us… it may have even been a full half hour! I was convinced that this was some sort of grand conspiracy to keep us boys and girls apart. I was later told that this bell schedule helped ease out the traffic gridlock. I have never believed that explanation.
I also remember that the “hot” place to connect with the girls was the “cendol man” across the street from the main entrance of the school. The “smooth move” was to accidentally pay for her drink. Just in case you didn’t know what “cendol” is… click the word.
The other memory was returning from the World Jamboree in Norway to find out that there was a “farewell party” my classmates held for me 2 days after had I left the country. This news was broken to me the weekend after the “welcome back” party … that I wasn’t invited to.
