Weekend with one of my best gifrfriend

I have many best friends, girlfriends.

One of them is this girl, whom I have been so close with since Form 6. We were in the same class and we had loads and loads of laughter and fun.


Taiwan, some couple of years ago...

After which, we went our separate ways or so we thought. How purely delighted I was when I saw her in the campus after 2 weeks of the beginning of the semester, she was accepted in albeit a bit later than me and we were in the same course and same dorm. Later, we moved out, to be roommates as well.

As with all relationships and friendships, we were like the best of friends, and yet had our arguments and dislikes for each other. Like frenemies. Not easy, but I had always liked to have her around as she's always have this gift to crack jokes at the most unusual way and her laughter is just so contagious and lights up the days.

She married much later than most of us and we were all so happy to be at her wedding, all of us thinking "lucky bitch! girl, no-sound-no-sound grab such a handsome husband out of sudden". She was such a beautiful, radiant, and need I say, voluptuous bride that day.

All these years, though we meet up less, as, as usual, everyone busy with own lives, families and work, friends really do come 2nd priority already (maybe even 3rd or 4th or 5th...), but as I've mentioned somewhere, friendships made from the schoolyears are very much specially different from those made later. Wonder why? Is that because we have too many childhood sweet memories to bond us so tightly together?

We meet up like sometimes once or twice a year, and the contacts were much lesser. One good thing is that both of us hail from Ipoh and we still meet up every CNY there.

Out of nowhere, this girl suddenly sms me on a lazy Sat morning to say she's on the way to KL and wondered if I have time for her? What? Any time for her? I'll drop any plans I have to see her!

So, we had lunch with a few other crazy friends, and it seemed to me that time had transported me back to those fun studying days. It was so good and enjoyable. Even my mom said, when these few of us get together, jokes, teasings and crazy things flow freely.

Her brother came too, and boy, how grown up he is now! When I frequent her house when we were young, he was just a little 4 feet 10+ year old boy! Oh yeah, I go to her house so often, and I loved her mom. It was a very sad time when she passed away some years ago. Her family is so closely knitted, it was a very devastating blow to the whole family.


Graduation day, like part of her family.

Her brother, Zach, now is working as a freelance wedding photographer, and his work is displayed in his own website zachchin.com. So, people, if you want a photographer, maybe you might like to consider him, eh?

Hey, friends, she went to Japan just a few months ago, and the pictures are here. Boy, I'm sure jeles when I see those mushy loving shots of this couple. So blissed and happy. I feel glad for her la.Back to the weekend, after lunch, we went window-shopping, and proceeded with a movie. Her husband said "no way we would queue up for 30 mins like this to watch a show in Ipoh". But her husband is so sweet, he went ahead mainly because I want to watch! Aww... I finally saw Incredible Hulk, before GSC strike it away from their 2 shows-a-day slots.

It was fun. We finally knew why his pants never get torn. I wondered aloud why it's always a man, if it's a female Incredible Hulk, her boobs will be woah.. to which my friend replied, if that's the case, the top part will be the one which won't get torn instead. haha.. right.

After movie, we went for a seafood dinner, and I had insisted that they come over to my place to stay for the night. All in all, it was another friends-get-together weekend, and almost a cycle, I'm so tired out right now! Back to the weekdays to recharge!

How nice to get together with old pals! I wish I'm not so far away from home, and do miss my gfs back home a lot... and emailing them is just not the same!

Love how well you've kept your pictures of you and your best friends... what precious memories all these must be =)

My Friday favorite time of the week

 Long ago, I used to look forward to every Friday 5.30pm. I would rush to prepare dinner and settle all that was needed to be done before 4....
