CATCHING UP

On Monday the 30th, I met up a good friend for dinner at the nearby mall after lesson ended at 6.30pm. The food was great, and - most importantly -the company was awesome. After dinner, we went shopping for clothes.

LH and I - the both of us - are lunchmates and studymates throughout the 3 years in Poly. Heck! We even had our own favourite "cozy corner" in the library! We have our own rapport, and our own private, inside jokes that leave others bewildered. I ended up nearly picking up her Malaysian Chinese accent.

Hers - Chicken Teriyaki and Salmon

Mine - Black Pepper (Yippie!) Grilled Salmon

It's nice, to be still keeping in contact and having occassional meetups more than 4 years after graduation. And it's amazing, how time has changed us - subtly. For one, the both of us used to scrimp like anything; even in the school canteen. Now? We hardly bat an eyelid eating out at restaurants and shopping freely in the mall.

The both of us used to be study-fanatics. We keep each other sane when either one of us tips over the other side and loses our balance. Sleeping at 1am, wanting to wake up at 3am to study, but only to conk out and fall asleep on the armchair due to lethargy. The following morning, guilt consumes. Guilt. Admonition. Anger. Disappointment at self. Stress. All the ugly feelings. Then, one of us would reassure the other and put perspectives right. Sometimes I'm the crazy one. Other times, it's her.
