One two three
Three meet-ups in two days; I'm too old for this, or at least, my body thinks it is. I'm nursing a cold and a slight fever now, and I might even be delusional for thinking that it's worth it. Projects? What projects?

Sunday evening, I had a last-minute dinner with old friends, some of whom I've known for 16 years now -- that's a looooong time! After dinner, we had a mini shopping spree, because we found a clearance sale that had all their shoes at $10 and under! I managed to find a size 9, so I couldn't resist. :)
It's strange to think that we're in different stages of our lives now, with some of us working, others graduating, yet others thinking of pursuing further education. As we parted, B put her arm around my shoulder and sighed: "We really should do this more often, you know? There's simply nothing like the company of people whom you've known forever."
I couldn't have put it any better.
And that made it all worth the while.

Monday afternoon, X came down to school to have lunch with me.
"My gosh, you have no idea how bad today is going to be," I lamented.
"What do you mean?" X asked.
"I have so much work to do, but I have dinner tonight. And I spilled hot tea on myself. Add to that, I forgot to bring AY's birthday present, so I have to sneak back home now to get it, and come back to school in time for her to not suspect anything!"
"You call that 'bad'?!" X glared at me incredulously.
And in that moment, I realised that it really wasn't at all. I've had bad days, and this doesn't come anywhere close. We both laughed at the silliness, and followed up our meal with a banana muffin. It was gooood.
And that made it all worth the while.

Monday night, my classmates had an early joint-celebration for AY and me -- our birthdays are a week apart.
The four of us went nuts with the toy vending machines again -- much to the boys' dismay -- and came away with Disney keychains.
Their heads are kinda squarish, but only because they're stackable, into some sort of totem pole!
Anyway, mine was Daisy Duck, and XL had Donald Duck.
"I'm your husband!" XL squealed with glee.
We went on a(nother) shopping spree, throughout which XL kept dolling me up with accessories that were hanging on the racks.
XL: "You're my Barbie doll! HAHAHA!"
Me: "???"
We were going to watch Brokeback Mountain but I changed my mind. Um, yeah.
At the end of the night, we crammed into my little car, as we've done so many times before (I think our record is seven in the backseat; don't ask how), and I circled the island sending them home one by one. We laughed, we screamed, we talked, and I very nearly cried.
And that made it all worth the while.

I am a size 9 too!!! Where is the sale? . ;) Like this post about meeting people and feeling things. Happy Birthday in advance, btw... whichever date that is! ;)
Thank you! :) The sale was at Ice Lemon Tee at Far East Plaza, but you have to scour hard for good buys, because most of their stuff are pretty teensy. ;)
Happy Birthday in advance. - D W
Thank you! :)
