Senior: *Jumps from classroom right in front of me* Adik, you’re Cikgu Ghazali’s daughter right?
Me: Err… yes. *Inching away from him. He looks like a thug.*
Senior: Send my regards to him eh.
Me: Okay. What’s your name, abang?(he was 3 years older and I heard that juniors will get a bad rep if they don’t address their seniors ‘respectfully’)
Senior: It’s Joe.
Me: Okay. Can I go eat now?
Senior: *Jumps back into his class*
(I found out later that he’s my friend’s brother and he was kinda sorta the school thug.)

Shida: Nadia!!
Me: Err… Hi! *Fake smile* (Mind: Am I supposed to know her?)
Shida: Cikgu!! *Shook both my parents’ hands*
RockerDad: Bla, Bla, Bla. Honey, Shida was with Pusat Tusyen Hashim back then.
Me: Riiight!
Shida: Don’t worry cikgu, we’ll be best buds right away. *Puts arms around me and squeeze me tight*
(We didn’t become best buds in the end because she was having problems with attention hoarder boyfriend.)

Place: Basement parking, Suria KLCC
I was going down the escalator with DivaMom when I saw a familiar face queuing to pay the ticket. I was trying to figure out who he was as we made our way to the queue. As I was searching for change, I saw him looking at me out of the corner of my eye.
There were two people in front of us so DivaMom told me to go to the car first. He was already making his way to his car with his (assumed) girlfriend.
Zamri: You’re Nadia aren’t you? Cikgu Ghazali’s daughter?
Me: Yup. Zamri right?
Zamri: *Surprised look on his face* Yeah. So how are you?
Me: Currently happily unemployed. You look good by the way. *His (assumed) girlfriend instantly grabbed his hand*
Zamri: Thanks. Send my regards to your dad.
Me: Sure. See you.
(Zamri’s my arch enemy back in Form 4 English tuition class.)
