Brides-to-be

Yesterday, I have 3 friends confirming with me their wedding dates, all happening this very year.

And amid all the cooing and sounds of congrats, I met up with the noisy bunch of “old” friends at Vivocity, with the bride-to-be very, very late.

Nonetheless, it was a rowdy, hilarious meet up, where we reminisced all of our old school memories, and even recalling where everyone was seated.

I was able to name everyone and even pointed out where they sat, and who they sat next to.

It was darn nostalgic and we all laughed crazily as we recalled an ex-classmate of ours and his famous “sun is shining” stunt, which involves him sticking his fingers up his shorts, and scratching his balls throughout the day.

We even spoke of the silly things we did, the silly nicknames we endured, the horrendous memories..

… and even the crushes, which led to the confession of my long-time crush of.. Mr KG, which spanned over a decade.

And I realised I was close to almost everyone in my class at one point of my life or another.

It was.. bittersweet.

They joked, “We, sit in front ones were so innocent, don’t know why you guys at the back were the naughty ones.”

I said candidly, “Yah what, we so happening, all have kids first one!” (a neighbour classmate had a son shortly after Minibean was borned)

We bitched spoke about everyone and anyone, though sometimes I turned coy for there are taboo topics I shied away from. I also know how to be shy one okay? Especially when it concerns a certain Mr Anthony.

And it was an evening to remember. I laughed hard.

And it is good to be meeting up with a bunch of unassuming, awesome and non-judgemental people.

And before we knew it, we are all part of the “jie-meis” for a wedding in September.

It is going to be one hellava wedding.

Be well

It was a strange day when I decided to message him.

How ironic cos exactly a year before then, it could have been a turning point.

But like all things, fate intervened.

Impossible, but true, I got a response I didn’t expect.

Today, we finally got to chat. It was a tirade of questions and whys and anger that never took shape.

It was a sense of panic, a sense of…. I don’t know, relief.. yet plenty of confusion.

And then, there was fear he would suddenly disappear.

Isn’t it strange? It was a strange, strange feeling. That.. the person could suddenly slip away.. when he chooses to, and you have no idea when he will appear.

Even a “talk to you soon” is so filmsy.. and you feel a renewed sense of loss when the name fades away from online.

There. You lost contact again.

Take care my friend, take care.

We wish we could have shared your worries.
