Old friends, older friends

I believe I've mentioned The Girls in some of my blogposts. This year, my friendship with most of The Girls are coming to 11 years. 11 eventful, exciting years. So many things have happened in our lives combined, I'd imagine we could come up with a couple adventure books or more ;))

Last Monday (yes, it was V-Day :P) I went out with 3 other girls - Ta, TabbyCat and Joy. No, none of them is The Girls.

I've known Ta since Standard 1. That's a whole 22 years :))
TabbyCat and Joy I've known since Form 1. Combined, that's more than 32 years! LOLs..

Among our friends from the school days, for the past few years I've been spending more time with these 3 girls, compared to the rest. Well, of course the main reason being none of them have yet to tie the knot - like me lah :P

Another reason would be of geographical fact.
Joy mostly lives with her grandma, and from my house I could reach Tok Umi's house in 1-2 minutes. Walking.
TabbyCat lives about 10 minutes away - my driving. LOLs.. By Joy's driving standard that would probably mean 5-7 minutes ;)
And Ta lives about 20-25 minutes away.

Normally Ta and Joy would be the masterminds in initiating get-togethers. Be it big scale reunions (our Buka Puasa feast last Ramadhan), or birthday celebration (for Ta's birthday last year we celebrated at Pizza Hut), or impromptu teh tarik session at a mamak stall nearby, these two are the 'chiefs' who would suddenly call up and ask: "Malam ni free? Jom gi minum." or "[Insert name]'s birthday tak lama. Apa plan kita?"

Hehe.. At each event one or both of these girls would say that they're going to retire from being the 'organiser' of upcoming events. It's time to pass the responsibility to someone else!
Alah.. tu cakap jer. Come next event, I'm sure it will be Ta and Joy again as the masterminds! LOLs..

We may not see each other very often. And phonecalls to each other may not be on our daily agendas, though I know these 3 girls frequently hold YM chat sessions together (it's SO not fair that I can't get on YM at the office! jealous tau!!) :P
But definitely they have a special place in my heart.

I've recently decided to tell them about this blog. So if you girls are reading this, sayang korang semua. Walaupun tak selalu spend time together, I've known you all for too long already. Dah kenal sangat dah.. hehehe..

Which reminds me of something someone wrote for me a very, very long time ago:

Make new friends
Keep the old
One is silver
The other is gold

So to all my friends, no matter if you're silver or gold or everything in between, love you people lots and lots.

So, bila free? Jom pekena teh tarik?
