Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
There's nothing better to close a dreadfully horrid week than having dinner with a jovial bunch of guys you once went to school with! Though we didn't have dinner in like some huge renown stakehouse or gourmet restaurant, good company more than made up for it. In fact dinner was just pizza and although I was, uh, fashionably late, once I sat down at the far end of the table, there was no stopping us! There was too much to catch up on since I was 'shipped off' to an all-girl high school (and I'm every bit thankful for it, don't get me wrong); I so totally missed them all!
It was supposed to be a Year 6 reunion dinner but sadly, only a few of us turned up. And as dinners like this go, the questions of the night were "So, whatca up to now?" "College" and the ultimate end- "So, got boyfriend or not?" And for most of the other girls who came, the answer to the last question was a shy "got-lah". I was probably the only one who's not attached and for some reason, they found it surprising that I was still single...wonder why.
But I would have to say the highlight of the evening was spending time with 'my boys'. Wait, before your minds wonder off to the unthinkable, let me explain. See, when I was in primary school, I was what many would term a 'tomboy'. While all the other girls in class were into clothes, Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys and Sweet Valley, I was climbing trees, playing pro-yo (it was the in-thing for boys then and very few girls took interest in it) and playing "Tanker". And so, I always hung around these bunch of guys who could totally relate to me. I guess I was a 'late-bloomer'...haha. I eventually grew to like clothes and Sweet Valley and The Backstreet Boys, and most of the other girly things. Nothing much has changed, I assure you but it's not all together exactly the same either- I'm sure you know what it's like (unless of course, you're still not, uh...'bloomed'- lolz.
I'm digressing, so let's get back to the point- 'my boys'.
So yeah, it was the highlight of my night because I was so myself. Sometimes, I'm not too confortable in my own skin, being around boys- SOMETIMES- but that night, I was nothing but comfortable. Sigh, me and 'my boys'; I think we were the greatest bunch in school...and I still am the most boisterous and enrgetic girl in our class...hehe. I still remember the look on one of my friends' face when I walked into the eatery. He gave me that You're-so-different-I-can-hardly-recognize-you look and he was so stunned to see me, it was hillarious. Must've been wondering what happend to the short-haired loudmouth wild 12 year old girl I once knew 5 years ago. Well, boy, I'm still here, except I'm not 12 anymore and I no longer have short hair no more =) It's amazing what puberty can do to you huh? =)
So, thanks guys for such a wonderful night out. You have no idea how much I was looking forward to this; I was having such a bad week. Thanks Kelvin and Mei Chen for organizing this. We should do this again some time soon. Too bad Brian and Yew Mun couldn't make it.
