THE CLASSIC BOND OF FRIENDSHIP

Siti Norrahayu, left, and Azlin Suzana, right, with their friend.

Azlin Suzana Abu Aman and Siti Norrahayu Abd Hamid have been friends ever since they were little, ever since little children know about befriending each other. The two of them were neighbours. Being neighbours, they play together, they tease each other, go to school together, had their tertiary education together, though pursue different courses. They lived in the varsity together. They rented a house outside the campus together. They even registered themselves at the varsity admission room on the same day.

When little, they were inseparable. In the housing estate, if you find one you will find the other. So much so when they were of one year plus of age, they would feel the urge to motion together. They shared the toilet bowl together. They would squat back to back at the edge of the bowl. Maybe they flushed their droppings together too.

 Ayu is a healthier child though as compared to Azlin. Azlin is asthmatic. When ever she was down with a bout of asthmatic attack, Azlin would be alright when Ayu came to visit her in her room. Such is the magical power of Ayu's friendship. Through out their lives they never even quarrelled with each other. When Ayu came to visit her, Azlin would say,  "Ha, my personal  doctor has come". Immediately she would be relieved of her asthma, and she would be OK after that.

In primary school, at Tunku Besar Primary they were together. So also in the secondary school, that was the Tunku Besar Secondary School they were also together. Both of them were fortunate to achieve a grade one each in their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, after their Form Five. In From Five too they were in the same class.

 Another thing worth mentioning, to show their classic bond of friendship is:  for Ayu,  she would accept anything, be it in the form of danger or otherwise, so long as she would be together with Azlin. This incident proves what I said. At the end of one semester break, Ayu travelled with Azlin to Campus, at Skudai, in Johor Bahru, from our house in Taman Setiawan, Tampin. They however were accompanied by their friend, Rose Diana bt Sharidan who  also  risked her life. I say that they risked their lives because, Azlin's driving licence was brand new. She just passed it a day ago, before the trip back to campus. 

Her car a Kancil, was also brand new. Her parents bought it a day before on the same day she passed her driving licence. This was after considering Azlin's complaints of her difficulty to move around in campus using the public transport. Despite these situations Ayu and Diana were willing to accompany Azlin back to Skudai. Such were their bond of love for each other!!! For Azlin so long as Ayu is by her side, its OK with her.


After obtaining a Grade One each in their Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia, they went to the University of Technology, in Skudai, Johore Bahru. Though they were in the same university, they stayed in different hostels or college they were termed, but still they were neighbours. Their hostels are in the same area. However they did not pursue the same courses. Ayu was in the engineering course, while Azlin was doing an Architecture Course. Its the beginning of their deviations in their lives.

For, after their tertiary education, Ayu became an engineer working with various companies and presently she is serving Petronas. Ayu is handsomely paid too for her computer expertise as a  Project Planner. While Azlin is an Architect,cum an Interior Design lecturer at The One Academy, in Sunway City, Petaling Jaya, after working with various architectural firms,which she found was not suitable for her asthma, especially the late nights and the wee hours of the morning, when she had a dateline of a project to meet.

Another deviation between the two is Azlin is now married with two beautiful and adorable kids, both are sweet girls, while Ayu is still awaiting for her marriage. Ayu's grand wedding day will be on the 29th December, this year end. Wishing her a Happy Matrimony after all. A Happy Wedded Life to you Ayu and have a score of lovely offspring, of the soleh and solehah type. Insya-Allah. If only your loved ones would be by your side during this grand day of yours. How wonderful it would be and how happy they would be!!!

Ayu would be married to also an engineer or rather a surveyor from Sabah. He is a Muslim convert though. And is a very pious one too.

The wedding consultant of Ayu is Azlin. Such were their friendships and hope  they will last for ever, until death do them apart. Amen!!!..............aab0904 301012.

AFY31 October 2012 09:34:  I think it's about the one particular sentence regarding age. You wanted me to delete that sentence, but as the whole passage was removed abruptly, then there was nothing more to delete. And you have since reinstated the text in a new edition.
