Friends: Keeping In Touch
Dearest darling friend,
I'm not gonna admit that I'm the most wonderful friend in the world - 'cause I'm not. Sometimes I'd go into my 'semacam' mode and decide that I want to be alone for a while. Sometimes I'm the one who is sooo tak sabar nak meet up with friends and catch up on the latest going-ons (sometimes lah. As for The Girls the 'initiator/organiser' varies - could be Sheils, could be Mel, could be Darls, could be anyone in fact). I think my close friends might have accepted this about me (I hope!) a long time ago ;))
In the past couple of days I've been exchanging emails, with you - a most beloved friend. Our 'conversation' reminded me of the good old days, when we were studying, when we were living. I think you're one of the few people who know me very, very well. Hehe..
I do miss the days when we were students - not having to think about responsibilities eh? Other than study, study, talk, talk, study, everyone gathering to watch FRIENDS on the small TV (gosh, can you remember that?! hahaha), study, secure place at the university (we both applied for the same one - and got it!), living at a foreign country, more study, being a "family" (you girls were all the family I had over there - all The Girls), study, study, had fun, study, strawberry picking, graduated! Hehehe.. those were the days.
OK lahhh.. given that studying WAS our responsibility then.. But then, no bills to pay (erm, not much anyway), no reporting to the boss, no waiting for monthly salary to pay bills. LOLs..
But I guess, after university, we weren't that close anymore. Oh, we haven't changed much - basically I'm still the same old me, you're still basically the same person you were all these years. It's just... I guess we don't travel on the same paths anymore. You went ahead and pursued your future. And I went my way for mine.
You're a Government servant, I'm with a commercial bank - though we both deal with money :P
You're married with kids. I still have both feet firmly in "single-hood".
I look at your kids and doting hubby with a mixture of much happiness and a twinge of envy - one day hopefully I'll have something like that too.
You observe with slight jealousy at my 'freedom' - the time I have for myself, for my family (parents & siblings & uncles & aunties & cousins), and my friends.
Honey, trust me. The grass is always greener on the other side. Hehe..
Ah.. I miss talking to you. Miss telling you stuff, I miss hearing your stories. I miss spending time with you, exchanging views, gossiping like nobody's business. I miss your cooking too. Hihihihi..
My darling friend, maybe things will never be the same as they were 10 years ago, but please know that you're always, always close to my heart.
Love always,
Yam
