A few weeks ago, Taufik, the grand son of Dr. Haji Ahmad bin Osman paid a surprise visit to our house. He brought along his wife and daughter. Taufik (whose glamour name is Ipid) who is the son of Appeal Court Judge, Dato’ Hishamuddin used to stay at his grand father’s house at Taman Tunku Mahmud, Pumpong. Ipid is the same age as my son, Ezwar and there were playmates with the other neighbours such as Fili, Munawir and Amrul. We lost contact with Ipid when he moved over to stay with his parents in Kuala Lumpur.
Before Dr. Haji Ahmad Osman moved to Jitra after Ipid’s grandmother demise, Dr Haji Ahmad informed me that if ever Shiwar is in Shah Alam, please look up for his childhood friend Ipid who is now the Manager of Human Resource at the Blue Wave Hotel, Shah Alam. Sure enough, when Shiwar attended a SMI seminar at Shah Alam, he met Ipid at the hotel. As a result of their encounter, Ipid promised to pay us a visit when ever he is in Alor Setar.
When Ipid introduced to us his Western look wife, Maria, naturally we asked her from which country she was from. To our surprise, she told us that she is a Malaysian and her grandparent were from from Alor Setar. Her father is also an Alor Setar born with the name of Yunus. When she mentioned Yunus, straight away it struck our minds that Maria is the daughter of Zam’s second cousin Bang Nuih who is the son Dato’ Hashim Abdul and Mak Chak. We knew that Bang Nuih, an hotelier has married an Italian lady but we never imagine that his daughter would be in front of our eyes and is married to Shiwar long lost childhood friend. What a small world indeed.
