Childhood Friends
Saturday, September 30th, 2006I’ve known this group of frens all my life. There’s 9 of us and we were close despite some being married and having kids to look after, some travelling and working outstation, and each one of us persued a different career. We were the best of pals and definately like family.
Last week, we went to a karaoke and sang out hearts out and ate till our tummies burst! Well, almost burst… We sang till our voices croaked and our lips cracked. Hahah… When all of us reported for work this week, it was one sad case of sore throat after another. But, we didnt mind… coz it was fun and we hadnt seen each other for a long time.
One of my fren’s getting registered next month and hence, we had an ultra late dressing session yesterday. The session turned our fren’s room into an army camp with all our different cheongsams and gowns stewn over the bed and floor while she picks out the one that suited her the most. Once the session is over, we caught up with old times. Could you imagine that a one hour talking session could turn into a 5 hour marathon?! Well, we sure did a lot of catching up.
Twas the weekend b4 another fren leaves for Narita to spend 2 years studying… The three of us decided to go for a pampering session @ the saloon. What was a 10am appointment had to be rescheduled into 11.30am coz we couldnt get up in time after our marathon coffee latte session. All three decided we needed a change and hence did some minor beauty changes. It was farnee coz I’ve never permed my lashes before and being "sua ku" me, i didnt know it could be done until when my chic fren told me. She’s doing it.. and i wanted to try it as well.
The next 1 hour was pure torture! My eyes were glued shut and I could not even blink! With some chemical placed over the lids, it stank big time. Hahah, but my determination to stick through the whole procedure got me through the whole session. Hence my motto, beautiful vs pain. When the lady unglued my eyes, it wasnt that much of a difference.. In fact it was a demi-failure, hahahhaah.. Sigh, I wasnt charged anything, but the lady was determined to make me look like a princess. Hahah, so, I had to go through another hour of blind torture… but not today.. =P I wont mind looking great… but not today… I’ll let my peepers rest a bit..
Our next session was to a movie in a nearby cineplex.. Well, tat’s gotta b difficult to book… But, we’ll c… For my frens, nothing is too difficult! Cheers to my frens!!!
