Last Friday, I stayed at home and drowned in my TVB dramas. 2 weeks since I returned from China and I already finished watching 2 25-episodes drama. AMAZING!!!
Last Saturday, I went with Miss Sunflower to register for our Salsa class. So excited that she is joining us for the class! Hopefully we will enjoy it. After that, I met up with Angel and Uncle. The gathering was supposed to celebrate Uncle’s birthday which is over for about 1 week plus liao. Nevertheless, it’s the thoughts that count….
We ate Sushi and talked about our plans. Surprisingly, Uncle has thought of buying over a business and there is someone known as the Business Broker who will provide advices, help you source and facilitate the purchase. When you purchase a business, it’s like purchasing everything including the fixtures, assets and clients. Interesting huh? I never know such a job exists. At the end of the day, he even persuaded Angel to buy over hotel. Perhaps, our strike-rich dreams get a bit too carried away, but it’s always better to dream than never…
Last Sunday, I went with BFF to a secondary school friend’s wedding dinner. It was nice meeting up with so many of the secondary school friends whom we have not seen for so many years. I think I have not met the one who went overseas to study, for about 9 years already.
It was a nice feeling to get together with the people even though we did not really keep in touch for so many years. Strange feelings that those people are so familiar yet so unfamiliar. We did not chit chat much during the dinner, but we talked enough to know that RX is a membrane R&D scientist (only he gave us the name card) and Alan is now posted in Qatar.
YM and SH brought their gfs, either younger by 2 or 3 years. Both have been together for more than 2 years. I supposed either one of them will be the next to tie the knot.
At the table, there is also Raymond, GK and KM. We dunno them very well as they belonged to the 4D whereas BFF and me belonged to the 2D class.
Time flies. It has been 14 years since we know one another. Those were the period of basketball sessions, puppy love, void deck gathering etc etc etc. All made up to who I am today. Sometimes, I really wished to go back to those times where we don’t have to think too much.
On our cab back home, we talked about Alan and the dog incident just like it happened only yesterday. I remembered during our sec 2 life, we need to come up with a drama as a school project and our meeting place is usually RX’s house. He has a dog then, in fact, a real unfriendly dog who barked at whoever went into the house. So the gals were rather scared of it and would quickly walked pass the cage and into the house.
There is one exception though. Whenever Alan walks pass, the dog will not bark loudly. Instead, it growled silently. We tried and tested it to be true every time, every instance.
We continued to chit chat in the cab, happily. After BFF left, SH asked me: Do you think MK will tell C about you? The question came unexpectedly. I think hard and said: Dun think so, cos C looks normal when she shakes my hand. Plus, come-on, it has been more than a decade and we did not even started anything. So, I thought I’m too insignificant to him to talk about bah?
Anyway, after that, he said they often have some supper night-out. Perhaps, they will include me when they have another outing, since all of us stayed so near to one another — custer around Yishun, SBW and Woodlands.
KP a bit…RX used to stay in a house, but now he stays in a HDB. I wondered if something has happened to his family, like bankruptcy? Haa….I shdn’t be so bad, cos his parents are real nice and friendly. So far, the nicest friends’ parents I have ever met.
I asked RX about his younger brother, KX as well because he was part of the memories during the sec sch project discussion in his house. I remembered he was a naughty child then, VERY violent because he keep hitting and disturbing some of us then. The last time we met, he was only pri 4 or pri 5.
Heard from RX that he has graduated as a chef now and use liquid nitrogen to cook something (not being irrelevant, just narrating exactly how RX has described him). Interesting…I never had a friend who’s anywhere near chef… real curious to meet him.
How many decades can a person have? 8? 9? And I have known this group of people for more than a decade. And surprisingly, most of them is still exactly how they look like in my memories. Can’t imagine…A decade has never cross my mind when I was young. Now it seems to be everywhere I go. Like — “I have known this friend/ actor/ singer etc for more than 10 years already ”.
