Meeting up with the galfriends...

An initiative. A few sms-es. And *phoof!* a meet-up was arranged and realised. We have been talking about doing this for some time (not quite as long as the one that Vick and CJ wanted to plan for the class though)... anyway, yah, Kong managed to get us all out for dinner on Friday evening.

Really appreciate everyone's effort. I mean, I can see everyone's really tired after a whole week and day's work, but we still made it to meet up.

Chew was being harassed by students over the phone even through the dinner. (yes, not easy being a teacher nowadays). Tan has her floor plans in her folder she had in her arms. (Bet she has got unfinished work.) And Myself? I have been so busy during the week, sometimes only sleeping near dawn, that I haven't been really able to get round replying Hong's texts all the time (sorry about that!). Everyone's has their own set of distractions vying for their attention. Nonetheless, we've made it! Ermm... I was utterly late though... (well, at least, I've made the effort to put aside unfinished work and made it to leave the office...)

Everyone's still every much the same.... It's quite a delight to find everyone still untainted and as guileless as before. It was just great! Tan thinks we looked every much the same, while Hong begs to differ with mentions that we are probably prettier. Haha.... see, even our conversation topics are still so innocuous.. and Kong, still as animated, has her kawaii image kept pretty well even though we are all past quarter-life... It was a little different from meeting up with the secondary school friends where they simply talk about boyfriends' names, jobs and whatnots...

Hmmm..., perhaps that's cos we've already known Chew's bf for some time, and Kong is already so familiar with him, that she's planning ways to sabo him on their wedding day when it comes... and the others? we've got no boyfriends to compare at the moment... well, I guess, even when the time comes when we each meet our better halves, there is unlikely to be much of those unhealthy comparisons...

In retrospect, it was an unexplanable affinity that brought us together when we were students, and I am glad that we have not taken it too much for granted and have kept up at it all these while.... Thank you for your time, people, it was great meeting up with you!
