Of 'chavs' and snobs from London

It was a suprise this year that a close buddy of mine came back for a short CNY break and i managed to meet him and have coffee together with another homie. The three of us goes back a long way to when we were 7 years old in primary school and its amazing that years can go by so fast. Its hard to believe that a close buddy of yours actually graduate from Cambridge University and now is with a top accounting firm in London. Now talk about standards to live with, a cambridge grad and an auditor compared to me, a local grad and also a banking executive with the only the link to London is that my company's HQ is there. Is there a gap?..nope we are equally on the same level of thinking just i was too lazy to work my ass off for SPM and my batch of friends that graduate from high school were the last of students that were taught by good senior teachers that have the passion to educate in them ( God bless them ) and looking at the current crop of teachers in schools, its gonna be a long time before the nation can benefit from more people like me and him and some of you out there. Hehehe, anyhow catching up with him , i manage to get a few information on living and working there plus some jokes about the 'chavs' there and about him being a snob. It was nice but its gonna be a long time before i'm gonna meet him again in Malaysia unless i get my ass off this seat and fly to London ( might happen). Till we meet again, cheers mate!
