Looking for old friends from St Patrick Primary School

Hi. My name was Michael Clair Bin Miris. Now it is Muhammad Mikhail Clair Bin Miris. People call me Mike, still (unless you're my lover). I am looking for my friends from the same batch. The school is SRB St. Patrick. I went there for approximately 5 years (spent the first year in Brunei). That was from the year 1992 to 1997.


If you remember the first year, I was the kid who were left in the class by my parents crying( I'm the one who cried, they didn't). The last word I heard from them (but not directed to me, it was for the teacher) is " Nebei taaw telabau Melanau atau Melayu siyen itew. English un taaw." which means this kid doesn't speak Melanau or Malay language, he just speak English.

Then there was a girl named Aaqma(they call her Emma) who came to me and speak to me, in English. I was still sobbing when she hugged me. My first hug from a girl. It feels consoling, for a moment. Then I freaked out. She transferred school some years later, met her again in the same class when I was at Miri Science School and the she transferred again. Oh well, the first 3 months was absolute silence from me, except if they speak English to me. Imagine what I did in Malay Language class. Fill in the blanks question.
N _ _ g k _ and there was a picture of jackfruit there. I just cancelled all the question and wrote jackfruit. First sign of creativity shown.

Then I remember Jimmy Lanie. He was my best friend up until he transfered school in Primary 5. Do lots of things together. Shooting, cycling, chasing girls and we compete too. Last I heard of him was that he became a Mat Rempit of some sort. Guess all that cycling pays (for money, booze, drugs and sex in the later days). Nah I'm kidding! There was someone else in our clique(which includes Ken) but I couldn't remember. I always give up when it comes to girls at that time. I also remember Ken, Edwin, Simon, Azlan, Khairuddin, Ateng, Jaafar and Hafiz which later becomes my best friend after Jimmy transferred. Some guys I just barely remember your faces.

The girls I remembered Farah Hijanah (my right hand, I'm the Head Prefect), Norliza, Fiona, Laura, Watie, Melissa, Rachael, Dewi, Philomena(never got her name right), Hjh Emma, Farah Wahida, some Dayang in the class with the hot sister, Noor Fairuz and some other.


The school band. We were sponsored by Mobil. Seriously. Look at the cap.

Now, I'm just hoping for the miracle of the Internet and networking to find you guys. Not that I miss you guys like crazy, but these are the crowds that shaped me the way I am now. So would you please, look for me in facebook by using my current name. I just don't want to lose contact. My years in Mukah is somehow 60% about you guys. Yes that much. (0.2 % is about my parents, haha!)

If I left your names out, it doesn't mean that I forgot about you(it's a lie, I do forget). Thank you. My writing sucks. Don't mention it.
