I've heard of instant noodles, food, even dry cleaning also...but what I witnessed yesterday at my own home sweet home was an instant of a kind.
I'm referring to the occassion which took place yesterday, during which my bother-in-law - let's just call him Captain for now and my soulmate...err, we'll call him Scandinavian Prince for reasons best known to me (wicked me!) formed an instant bonding!
Instant it was and I kid you not on this. Besides, I wasn't the only witness to this miracle in the family incident. My mom, dad, Prince's mother, brothers, sister-in-law Bavani and my beloved sister who is married to the Captain herself was amazed at the instant bonding between the two on their first meeting.
Surprise, surprise...guess what my sleuthing-after-the-event revealed? The Prince and Captain had one thing in common which probably helped them bond instantly. Thanks to their alma mater - they both went to school at St. John's Institution Kuala Lumpur some eons ago. Thus, their instant affection and bonding on meeting a fellow Johanian was one that was too obvious to be ignored.
So there goes, already my sister an ex-BBGS-ian married an ex-Johanian, then my brother Suresh (he is a free-schoolian, courtesy of having studied in Penang Free School!) married Bavani - also an ex-BBGS-ian and now I (needless to say, I'm an ex-BBGS-ian too!) have a sweetheart who is (again and also) an ex-Johanian.
Phew, now what do you call that? Coincidence? Boy, all I can say is that now, it is ALL in the family...I was referring to the strong alma mater bonding factor and nothing less or more ;-)
