| At Roslan's house near Ampang Hilir, 1981. |
After my transfer to SImpang, Taiping branch, Roslan was posted to the branch as relief Chief Cashier twice. On both occasion, Roslan stayed at my house in Asamkumbang.
On one weekend, I took Roslan for a walk up the Maxwell
Hills together with my friends.

We lost touched after I left Kwong Yik Bank in 1986. By
that time, Roslan was promoted to an Officer position and was transferred out
of KL to other KYB branches in Terengganu and Kelantan.
It was this year (2012)that I got back in touch with
Roslan through my daughter. It happened to be my daughter, Nina and Roslan’s daughter,
Ika, were in the same college several years ago. Nina mentioned to me that
Ika’s father is a very senior staff with RHB Bank ever since the KYB days. So I
ask, what is her father’s name. Nina answered,”His name is Roslan Hussein”. I
asked again,”Roslan Hussein Merican?”. Nina replied in positive. I mentioned to
her that “uncle” Roslan is indeed my friend. I took out those few pictures that
we took of the Maxwell Hills trip many years ago.
When I got Roslan’s mobile number from Ika through Nina,
I sent an SMS to him. To my joy, Roslan replied in positive that he remembers
me and my old model train set (Many years ago, I had a model electric train set
on 8 feet x 4 feet base). Ah! After all
these years, we are able to get reconnected.
On this year’s Hari Raya, I decided to pay him a visit.
It was great to finally meet Roslan again. I had intended for a short visit but
we stayed for 4 hours.
We bade our goodbyes but rest assured, we will meet again
soon.
