Dinner with Freundschaft-er
I received the news that one of the Freundschaft-er (read: senior high school friend. Freundschaft is our class name.) was in town. Suz is taking two weeks leave from her-job-in-Singapore.
So, we had a meet up last night at Sun Plaza and dinner at Pizza Hut. Just the 3 of us, since a few cannot make it and a few has lost contact. Their impression towards me is,”OMG! You’re getting thinner. What’s wrong? Stress?” Yes, I know, physically I look skinnier and the number on the weight scale has decreased too, which is not done on purpose. So now, when most of my friends are working on how to lose fat in 3 months or so, I’m working on gaining my weight.
Me, the artsy fartsy designer, and Suz, the lab researcher (focus in cancer).
With our Ms.dentist.
It’s been 6 years since we graduated from school. Back then we planned to have reunion after (or every) 5 years, but it never happened. Well, a few of them did gather a few times – with most of the time I didn’t know or couldn’t attend – but it never reach half of the class. It is hard to get everyone coming home and have a gathering, due to each other location and work.
The old song ‘Graduation’ (Friends Forever) by Vit C is playing in my head now.
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we’re gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won’t be coming back
No more hanging out cause we’re on a different track
….
It’s just one of those days, of me being melancholy and thinking back about the past (read: school time).
