a toast to old friends and to the current ones too
I have been meeting up with some of my best girl friends this month and I must say that it has been many awesome moments all rolled into one.
Puay. Yvonne. Alicia. May-anne.
We have all shared precious moments of our lives together and I am glad that we are still sharing those precious moments of our lives.
A simple chat over a meal is just the perfect way I would like to spend my afternoons.
Will we ever run out of things to say?

Puay & Alicia; my Boston companions (also travel around the US of A companions).
Alicia: My fellow psych major pal. We took almost all the same classes together (and you were so bloody smart in all your classes!) and even back when we came home to NUS. Loved all our brunches in the dining hall together (the way I feasted on those omelettes made by the old sweet man Enoch) and our chats about Aaron (aka ketchup) and Beanie (do you still remember Beanie?). Our chats were priceless. All the talk about relationships and that horrible Asian girl in our Bio psych tutorial class who was such a *beep*. Do you remember she kept laughing at us during our presentation?! *beep* indeed.
Puay: We should have been room mates. You with your 4673593 shoes and 5838225 clothes and your online shopping at 6pm and Etsy. Pure evil. How you always come by my room and lie on my bed (warming my bed!! -kidding) while I try to study and then I would just give up and we would end up chatting. Going to church together and our worship/bible study sessions..taking all those photos and our close encounter with death during our ski trip. And the floormates!! Our Dominoes pizza chats into the night and do you remember the ASIAN NIGHT where they wanted to choose a Miss BU Asia? The contestants were so terrible and couldn't answer questions like "What is the colour of the Indonesian flag".
Yvonne: One of my first real friend at University. You were so friendly and nice and you genuinely have a good heart. I will always remember our dance lessons at Jitterbugs and my failed hip hop classes with Patrick. Do you remember him roaring at you? Our study sessions at the National Library were actually pretty productive! I spent my first 2 years of my University with load of laughter all thanks to you. From the karang-guni man to the bomberman dude..
May-anne; The primary school bestie whom I shared the tortures of having to go through higher chinese and pass those dreaded spellings each week. How we used to go swimming in those HUGE MANSIONS of the rich friends of ours. Learnt Risk from you for the first time in my life and I still love the game to this day. Eating Tortino's pizza at your place which has come to become one of my favourite frozen pizza brand of all time (darn them why did they stop bringing it in!?) Hiding under your sister's bed because we wanted to see her dance in her room so we tricked her into answering the door with someone that wasn't even there. Best moments growing up.
So glad we were finally able to meet up after 12 long years. Haven't talked like that since we all said our farewells in Nanyang.
It feels so good to know that there is still that special connection after so long, that no matter what has happened over the time that passed, there was still that connection you had previously, and that connection would never be broken.
It was so easy to just hang out and just share openly about many things that we've been through.
