Six very different people, one decade later...
Met up with my secondary school track pals last night at Marche Suntec and then drinks at Balaclava, for the long-awaited gathering. It has really almost been at least 5 years where the 6 of us finally got to sit down together for a nice meal and drinks.
Its just a wonder that 6 people who lead such amazingly different lives, can still come together and have a blast.
We formed a bond way back in Sec 1 or so, where we all belong to the track team. We ran, trained, cried and whined together. After Sec 4, we kinda went our separate ways, pursuing our own futures and kinda lost touch with each other as a group. From time to time, i will get a msg from Yun, or hear news abt Yuqian, bump into Lisa, but there was never a time where we really sat down as the 6 of us, just like the good old days. We even totally lost touch with Jinni, until recently.
Somehow, old friends get reunited again, and it really is a wonder, why so many years down the road, it only just happened now.
Is it because 5 out of 6 of us are single?
Is it because 20s is THE age to catch up with your old friends?
Or simply because we buried the hatchet to any old feuds in the past, the old squabbles were put to rest and we kinda forgot each other's flaws that we couldn't really stand sometimes, or just that, we grew up??
Now, almost a decade since we first met, everyone is leading their own lives. Some happy in their jobs, some happy with their lives, some still figuring out their place in the world. Still, everyone is so remarkably different.
Right now, looking at the girls, i'm just happy that we get to sit down once in a while, at a place like Balaclava last night, and get updated on each others lives. Though we're all busy, it is heartwarming to know that everyone is pretty much the same. We still discover the things that pulled us all together in the first place.
After all, we did grow up together, for 4 years of our lives, meeting every single day and going through the arduous trainings together, and even falling for the same guys.
Well, no regrets ever knowing these 5 amazing ladies, just hafta rem to bring a real cam to the next outing...
