5 January

Last night I sent a long text to Twinnie and she replied with a longer one :) 

Maybe some things really don't change. 

I finally met Ben and Soon (and ST again). The last time we met was nearly 3 years ago but I really have no idea why we never really felt drifted once we met again. At least for me it was like that. Ben and Soon were my best friends in primary six, Ben especially. Over the years, I may not have met him that often but we always share about our lives via text messages and I really appreciate all the listening ears he has offered me even though we do not always meet. It is so nice to have a friend like him who is always around. 

Bumping into Ms Koh was a surprise. I hadn't seen her since she left the school a few years back. She never taught me but I somehow just got to know her when I was Sec4. The reason was... epic. We share the same birthdate. But I stopped wishing her Happy Birthday two years ago after I changed my number, because I thought she probably would have forgotten who I am. Now that's the part that makes me guilty. I went over to greet her just now and she immediately called out my name without even any hesitation. I am so glad, I wrote her a card before going over, wishing her Happy Birthday in advance. I think this has to be fate. 

It rained. But I spent most of the day in the sheltered malls so I was nowhere near the rain. It was nonetheless a nice walk home after an evening drizzle. The air was cool and refreshing. Hadn't felt that relaxed in a long time. I felt the heartache again. In all honesty, it has now come to a point whereby I cannot even tell if I mean it in a literal or figurative way when I say it. Whatever, I have learnt to chuck it aside whenever it occurs. Simply because, I am going to start everything afresh.

By the way, today I happened to speak to Ms Koh's friend and I suddenly realised the importance of taking initiatives and being spontaneous. 

Ah, I hope this is a sign that everything is going to run smoothly :)
