There's a comforting warmth in familiarity and routine.
A sort of trust that you know is there and that it cannot be breached.
And over the years,
I'd have thought that we've exhausted all available topics of conversation.
I'd have thought that we've exhausted all available activities.
I'd have thought that we've alrdy eaten everything there is to eat (within budget of cos)
Surprises lie in wait.



Change is the only constant in life,
and I admit that we all changed.
Maturity is a sort of change isn't it?

I remember some time back in carl's junior,
bestie said that I'm growing to have a temper and she'll learn to deal with the new me.
I've always had a temper,
I'm just growing more vocal abt it :P

While Bestie is struggling with the starting up of her dog-leasing services,
I'm struggling with the continuous struggle of committing things into memory
and of cos,
getting my bearings and searching for my long-lost sense of directions.

While my man in a girl's body,
Tang Tang is growing to become an aspiring variety show producer cum cameraman,
my kindest friend Dew is growing to become a very spoilt housewife.

While my very pretty fren wo is still battling for her rights to life,
and coming to terms with cold reality,
my sweetest fren ewe phua phua is learning the very undesirable quality of being independent.

You know,
growing up and loving someone is a funny thing.
I used to wonder how some girlfriends can stand abusive boyfriends and still tell me that it's because they love them.

Love is a funny thing.

Because when you love someone,
you'll want to be there with them every step of the way.
Even when chemistry and the stardust fizzles out,
even when they grow into someone else,
a different person from the one you loved initially.

Maybe because the thing you love is the quality and essence of the being.

Because I love the quality and essence of these 5 beings,
that something about them that I can't put a finger to,

Let growing up be the only change in the beautiful constant that is our friendship.

Happy new year everyone!!!!
