Faces

Early evening yesterday, I received an unexpected invitation for an impromptu bloggers' meet in Shah Alam. Not considering myself being a political blogger as the meet was meant to be, I would have declined had the invitation not come from an online activist who call himself 'Topeng Perak' (check out Perisek Rakyat under Politics and Politicians). But since 'Topeng Perak' knows of my alter ego and the online work I was doing, I just could not say no. Furthermore, apart from being able to meet him face to face for the first time, there is a possibility where we will both be working together in the not so distant future. And so there I was just before noon today, though the bloggers were there by 10am.

Arriving late, I missed meeting several out-towners. Can't say I was dissapointed in not meeting them. Apart from 'Topeng Perak', I hardly know anyone there, and they me. Or so I thought. Surprisingly, several of the bloggers have been in my blogroll at readscentral for sometime now, only that I never had the chance to meet them. This might also be true for those out-towners I missed. But...

Anyway, a bigger surprise was meeting Zubli Zainordin. Now, I've seen him commenting at Cikgu's Kata Tak Nak blog before, just that, well, like yours truly here, a blogger is just a blogger. Or so I thought. It so happened he thought my face looked familiar and querried on my background. No sooner had I began with secondary school, his face lit up - the bugger (no offence, Zubli), was my senior in Victoria Institution and somehow still recognise me! So we got abit into the past, mentioning other students especially Harris Ibrahim, who was the taikor there then. In the midst of our reflecting back, a thought crossed my mind "Alamak! A leopard does not change his spots. So too it seems with cakapaje's face!". There goes any thoughts of Aje ever making it in politics! Oh well...
