This week has been really hectic for me. Hectic not in the form of work, but my own social life. It has really been a fulfilling week. You know like in the game - The Sims – you have this social life bar, my social life bar now is fuller than ever before.

Firstly, every morning since Tuesday, I have Nina accompanying me on the train. We talk about anything under the sun. I guess the only regret I will have in my life is we have never been out shopping together before. Not to mention shopping, we don’t even dine together or have high teas or just tea breaks. Practically, I guess we didn’t even went out together once before, did we? The only times were when we were temp-ing at Lynwood, we would go to work together and after our supervisor or so to speak left, it would be our world. We would either be on the phone or on MSN or eating crackers and even taking photos like nobody’s business. Those were the fun days. After that, we practically don’t meet, we don’t talk either, cos there’s no common topic to talk about. If one day I am going to lose her, I would definitely regret. Thus, I have been enjoying these few train rides with her, catching up again. And for those who don’t know, Nina and I are childhood friends till today. The only time we quarreled and I remembered most vividly was when I slap her real hard on her back just to say Hi, and she got really angry and didn’t talk to me for days. Those days I told my mum that I really didn’t know it would hurt so much and that I am really sorry for doing that, hope Nina would forgive me.

Then there were the days whereby we would squabble over whose idol is better. Haha I remembered she loves Alec Su and I would always be talking about Jeff Chang. Haha. In the end, we had times going to Mediacorp to watch Jeff Chang perform. Then there were the F4 days. She will tell me about her experience in the F4 concert and I would tell her mine too. Then during her La-Selle days, I would always be the one helping her to write her essays because comparatively, my English is better than hers (no offence, Nina. I still love you.) I remembered she wrote an essay on Art and Consumption and failed. She came ‘crying’ to me about how sad she is. So I took over the entire essay and wrote it based on my own perspective and I scored 14/15. She kept thanking me but on the other hand, she was telling me that in the first place I should have written it. Hee. Also, there were times whereby she has no ideas and inspirations for her artwork and she would come my place and ask me for comments, as if I am an expert. Sometimes I confess I gave her rubbish ideas, but all in all, I guess it’s time well spent with her.

Now, we are all grown ups, working adults. I have been seeing her less and less and also talking less and less. If one day she’s gone, I think only then I would realize how much I didn’t spend enough time with her. The moral of the story is it will take 2 hands to clap to make this friendship even more fascinating! However, she has her walk of friends whom she is very close with. I probably would have to steal a bit of her time from her real close friends. However, I also need to be able to find time out to meet her. In conclusion, I just wana say “Nina, I love you~ thanks for always being there when I need to ask you stupid questions like go where d/l songs.” Haha. I will really try to find time out to be able to go out with you, which we haven’t really done. Walauz, it’s getting really sentimental already, and if you wonder why I am suddenly talking about this, I just read a friend’s blog who talked about not talking to her friend when she saw him on MSN the day before he died, and the next day, she received a call to say he died on the roads. I don’t want such a thing to happen and also I was reminded of my ah ma’s death, when I did not talk to her for about a month, and the next thing I know, she’s gone from me forever and ever. I could only keep her in my memories from now on. Even till today, tears still roll when I miss her. Now presenting, my beloved childhood sister and neighbour…

Taken at my place.. Hehe... So cute... The younger days. Don't think she even remembers these pics. Hee.

Secondly, darling and I had splendid dinners these few days. Tuesday was at Swissotel’s Kopitiam (yes, the restaurant is named Kopitiam). We had curry fish head which used to taste really good, but this time round, the fish head was kind of fishy. Not worth us going back anymore in the near future unless we can't curb our temptations for curry fish head. Wednesday was at The Line at Shangri-La Hotel. It was still as fantastic, I love the BBQ prawns and the mix and match pasta. So yummy! Oh and not forgetting the Lian Rong Bao and the orange which is only ¼ the size of my palm and still taste so sweet! Had such a fulfilling and sumptuous dinner, could hardly walk after the dinner. Ate too much! Keke..

Thirdly, been looking forward to WildRice Productions’ Jack and the Beansprout. Bought the tix in October and time passes so quickly that darling and I catched the musical last night. Wah, their production ah, I must say really WORTHWHILE. You will really enjoy yourself there. It’s more enjoyable than watching a movie. I hope their new production would be coming soon. I highly recommend this musical to everyone out there. It is not very expensive and catch it while it is still on. Tickets are sold at Sistic outlets. An enjoyable night I had with darling.
