Note: 1 Six months ago we met for tea hosted by OP Amiruddin (Datuk,Dr)
One could not have really imagined
That we first set eyes way back in 1960
As scraggly school boys to be trained
In a residential school with all things military
And this afternoon we met again
Not of the same vintage
But from the early ‘60s anyway
To renew ties that bind
In keeping with the esprit de corps
Of a military tradition
Now we may not be clean shaven
We may look aged and weather beaten
Very unlike then as school boys of all innocence
Spick and span, smartly dressed in green uniforms
We are now retired from various callings
But the warm friendship we still maintain
With a rendezvous at the Club this morning
For the lost years with grand reminiscences
A big yarn followed by a sumptuous lunch
Courtesy of one who had made it in life
Tan Sri Abdul Aziz happy with his buddies
And he feted Datuk Dr Amir especially
a childhood friend he grew up with
No quiet moment of hours that slipped by
A fleeting moment and then just as fast
It was time to say good-bye!
Note: 2 We were together as school boys in the early 60’s in
a unique residential school administered steep in military
traditions, the RMC (Royal Military College)
We had an informal lunch date hosted by Tan Sri Abdul
Aziz
an ex-Deputy Chief Minister, a two-term Senator
in the august House of the Dewan Negara (the Senate)
and currently a titled dignitary of Pahang chieftains
and President of Mubarak (the association of one-time
legislators) The honorific ‘Tan Sri’ is equivalent to
‘Sir’ in the
British government
