The past 2 days have been spent being a Mandarin girl; Tuesday in the Oriental and Wednesday in Meritus.
the buffet at triple3 was delightful; the spread was amazing and it wasn't the usual mass produced yawn inducing variety. khel discovered, to my horror, that the oysters on ice were still alive and that they wld contract slightly when we squeezed lemon juice on them. omg that is DAMN GROSS, how can people bear the thought of snuffing the last vestiges of life out of a living thing in their mouth and subject it to Death by Molar?! i know its hypocritical- what's the difference between having someone kill my food for me and me doing it personally? well, fears are irrational; so shoot me. khel had no qualms at all and proceeded to send many more of the poor suckers to their salivery graves
for a while, the plan was that shloke wld be here in sg too, within spitting distance to go for tea time chats and shopping trips every so often. but the books were re-written and now she's going to be leaving for yet another year. emails and msn won't feel the same as commiserating, laughing and shrieking together across the coffee table, but cest la vie, i wish you all the best my dear... may you continue to do brilliantly in your studies and i hope that you'll be able to clinch your dream job!
we parted ways at marina square and as we lingered over our goodbyes, she remarked that it was like we were in the airport. 29/9/05 was the day wasn't it? i was just a first yearer and you were preparing for the unknown in life half a globe away. so much has changed in the meantime, as we have; but i'm very grateful that we've kept the friendship alive and that we've been spared the anguish of finding our conversations peppered with increasingly awkward pauses. thank you for friendship and for love. waiting for you to come home for christmas!
