Friendship

Last Saturday, we went to celebrate Waikin's birthday at Bobby Rubino's at Chijmes. I was the organiser. Looking back, ever since we graduate in December 2004, we made it a point to meet up at least once a month for a gathering. So far so good. I didn't expect that we would uphold our promise. Thought that it was the usual "touch and go, hi and bye" kinda thingy - those "forget-me-not, keep in touch forever" mushy stuff that you would write in autographs when everybody was in secondary school.

For Waikin and the rest, everybody is very different. Waikin for one, is a very reserved guy. Unless you have similar interests, it is difficult to tune to his weird frequency. Nevertheless, he's a renowned worker bee - Forever so diligent. Charis is also a quiet and reserved person. At a point of time, I felt quite stressed when I was left alone with her in Melbourne. We had literally nothing to talk except for chocolates (She is a chocolate fanatic). Not that I didn't want to speak to her, but I was not sure what to talk and even if I did, I only received mono one-sentence answers. But if you know her long enough, you would realise that she is a very nice person. A very good listener, but no advice from her :P As for Zhaoxin, she's also a nice and cheerful person, albeit roller-coaster moodswings. She can be sweet at times, but fussy the next minute. Willing to go to the extra mile for you, but sometimes will receive soft murmurs of complaints..In short, a nice person. As for Skinny Bones, he's very good and helpful person, just that sometimes, he's abit lazy. Very IT saavy.

Dug out the pictures that we took on Waikin's 26th birthday. Realised how different we look as compared to last year.

Saw the difference? I am shocked as well - Guess I need to dump the Bugs Bunny T shirt away. Hahaha...Regardless, friends come and go, but for good ones, treasure them. It never hurt to make an effort for a gathering.
