Friendships

Yesterday, I had an “Instant Messaging” conversation with 2 old-time friends from Poly & Uni.
The SOP questions (so we agreed) HAVE to be asked first before the conversation can go on.
1. Are you married?
2. Are you attached?
3. If both are no, Why not?
4. How’s your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband?
5. When’s your big day?

After all these questions, I was asked “Hey man… When was the last time we caught up?”
9 years I coolly answered.
Deep in me I was “Wah… So long liao ah?”
Have arranged for a meet up next week.
Gosh… Wonder how things will be like after 9 years man!
Fatter? Skinnier? Macho-er? Anything to talk about?

That was yesterday through “Instant Messaging”.

Today, my best friend caught me on sms.
The last I heard from him was our birthdays in August.
Yup..! A poly friend who went with me to Uni.
He was in a boring meeting and thus he has the chance to sms me.
A doting & loving father and husband and a responsible worker whom hardly has time to meet friends except through weddings.

Brought me back to the good old days again.
Reminiscing how beautiful friendships were built.
Built over time, quarrels, arguments, bickers, giving, taking, challenges, swimming pools, projects, classes, lectures, breakups, personality clashes, etc.
I remember there was one time where we can just sit down, cry and sigh until the cow comes home and NOT speak a word yet there is an assurance of friendship.
Driving up Mt Cootha for coffee, chatting in the living room till sunrise, finding new places for good cheap food, etc.

Have I ever mentioned that I am one privilege gal with 3 best friends!
(Sometimes, I wonder, how can one have so many best friend when BEST is already BEST. There’s no Bestest you know?)
Thinking back, I realized 3 of these best friends are friends whom we quarreled SO much, shouted, and cried at each other to be where we are now.

Came home & looked through photos…
Thought I’ll share some silly photos.



Amazing 3 days that I had… Just mid week only.
