Primary school friend

Recently, I met up with my good primary school friend, Suketu, at my friend's wedding. It has been more than a decade since we last met. Still remember he came all the way from India with his mother and sister and he went to the same class as me in Primary 4. I was the first one to introduce myself to him, after that, we just clicked like a good old friend.

As he stays in Tanjong Rhu, which is near my place, we often hung out together in the neighbourhood and played soccer. The highlight was when I went over his house with a group of friends to watch Malaysia Cup soccer. He prepared probably the best french fries I ever had in my life, all by himself. The black pepper and spices that he added was so good that I feel like flying after eating.. To cap a happy evening, Singapore won.. We jumped and hugged together to celebrate the win..

After primary 6, we went on separate ways and he was posted to Bedok View Sec. Though we stayed quite near, I did not meet him at all until recently.. He is now happily married and will move to his new house in Hougang in Oct. He is also doing well in his job, being the General Manager of the Singapore Hockey Federation. I was quite sad when I learnt that his mum passed away last year and he is now staying with his sister. He is a strong man though, he supports his family when studying and even went Australia to get his degree in economics. Really had a great time, catching up with him and drinking beer together.. Below is the photo I took with him when I got the priviledge to be the 1st person to sit in his new car.. Cheers!
