Zooming with Old Pals

Way back in the early 1990s when I was studing Biotechnology in UPM, I was part of a group of students who volunteered to do "Community Service" at a New Village in Perak during the school holidays, working mainly with the school children in the village.

The new village that was selected, where we visited each school holiday while we were still at the university, was Ayer Kala. 

There were many of us who had been in contact through the years on Facebook and Whatsapp, but we finally came around to having a Zoom session just now. I know I haven't seen these guys in person  in over 25 years - since graduation. Even Brother Chow, who was the main coordinator from the village, joined in!

It was a wonderful session, even though there was quite a number of people who could not make it.  It was lovely to the ones who did, catching up on each other's lives.  It was surreal to see how everyone looked older, and yet seemed the same in so many ways. I hope we get to do it again some time in the future :)
