MEETING AN EX-CLASSMATE IN KEPALA BATAS

26TH OCTOBER 2025 ~ I first contacted my ex-classmate [of Budiman class] of SMS Muar, Mr. Ahmad Fadilah, one day before going to Kepala Batas. He is now residing there and will be home on weekends. However, ironically, he was in Johor Bahru when I called him for a family matter and I, on the other hand, would be going to his place. Fortunately, he would be returning to Penang before I made my way back to Johor Bahru so there was a possibility of meeting up. The last time we met was at an ex-classmate's son's wedding in Sungai Ramal Dalam, Selangor last year [READ HERE].

He was kind enough to pick me up at my hotel and took me to his house in Bertam for lunch.

Mr. Ahmad was going back to Medan [he is working there at the moment] with his wife right after lunch. That meant, I also got the opportunity for a free lift from the mainland to the airport in Bayan Lepas on the island.

It was just a short meeting but that it finally happened in Penang.with one the few classmates I am still keeping in touch with even though not regularly. Hope to see Mr. Ahmad again some other time possible.
