If Aishah had invited one Indian doctor, yesterday we would have a rosy picture of breaking fast 1Malaysia.
Otherwise, with Bibi's Pakistani features and eurasion colouring, pretty as a chinese picture Xin Li, Shaz, Aishah and I, the 'interfriendship' were a mixed array of 'colours' . I for one, was happy to cook for these promising young women with such fine mental faculties and aspirations, though equally pretty Peh Hueh, who was on call, could not join us.
Beneath the talking, laughing and eating, we have, in some tiny way, fear in our hearts of this being our last meal together. At least in Shaz's heart, I am sure. And I hope there are meals like this again so that I can try out other recipes and watch you all grow from strength to strength in your careers and in your personal lives . And as I said, strong friendships can stand the test of time, and being humans, the test of hurt and pain too that we would inflict on each other intentionally or unintentionally at some time or other. As long as we accept a friend for what they are and respect and cherish one another, no matter what our race. True friendship does make this world a better place. That, I think, is one belief everyone at the table share.
So study hard, work hard, play hard and I pray you all achieve your dreams.
