Throughout our lives, we try to incorporate certain habits or activities into our daily routine. May it be church service, putting together a stupendous musical, workworkwork, movie marathons, evening jogs, blog posting, mamak sessions, yearly camps, weekly trips back home or the occasional (and much needed) holiday get away.
Among the many many mundane things in life, I look forward to taking time off from books and rejoicing in the aging of my close peers.
I don’t know about the remaining seven of them but I thrive on these celebrations because it’s the only time ALL OF US will drop everything and anything to spend a few hours of fun, merciless criticizing and exchange shamelessly lame jokes together. Albeit the abrupt plunge in expenditures, I’m certain the expansion in the tummy region and 32632 pictures taken in between is worth the while.
This was one year ago
Now that the eight of us don’t live within the same area as we had back then, more often than not, we LACK OF EFFORT TO MEET UP and TAKE SHYA FOR WALKS WHEN I’M SWEATING STRESS BALLS. But it’s okay, because with text messaging, Facebook, Twitter, and what not we are still riding on one another’s tangent (:
Contrary to the extravaganza birthday treat I share with Carmen on our birthday and Crystal’s in March, these celebrations which at times may be simple with a splash of ice cold water or a blow of candles. Either way, both celebrations are very very sacred and I hold very dear to my heart. Behind these mini outings are thorough planning which we go to the extent of considering each and everyone’s qualms (eg: my vegan diet, Nev’s fondness for dry food, Sheryl’s bountiful ulcers).
By now, you should be able to figure out the kid that just got older (not me).
As of today; Happy 20th Neville!
A year later, there's been some good time, some rough ones, some found love, some lost love, some lost their way,some found theirs and some is hovering in between. There's been additions to the group and the best part is the feeling remains the same.
P/s: Thank you, Crystal and Carmen. For the many years of friendship that the both of you never me gave a chance to question, for tight, squishy hugs you give me and for the look on your faces every time we part ways. Love you both!
