All my old friends seem to be coming back into my life again.
First it was Priya. To cut the story short, I was living with Priya in her house back then and for some reason or another, Foong and I were evicted by her dad (gggggrrrrrrr!), leaving us stranded in Perth without all our stuff, all our clothes, even Foong's car, EVERYTHING! I didn't speak to Priya after that incident because i thought it would be too awkward. After one year, she finally called me last week but i wasn't in Singapore to take her call. According to Dad, she sounded really apologetic and asked Dad if i'm still mad at her. Aiyoh please, i'm not that petty. I may look like i am, but i'm not. Right now, i'm trying to contact her. I can't remember her exact email addy but i'll just come up with some permutation of what i think her email addy is and give it a go. I've always liked Priya, very sweet girl. It'll be really, really nice to find out how she's doing.
Then, it was Lijuan. My long long long lonnnnggg-lost best friend from way way way back in secondary school. We used to do everything together, hanged out together, played netball together. Hell, we even bought identical pairs of nike. I received her sms a couple of days ago, tried to call her at home but couldn't reach her. I sorta suspected she might have gotten hitched and today i finally confirmed my suspicions! Yes, she's officially unavailable and she wants to invite me to her wedding dinner in May. Nooooo, i don't think i'll be able to make it cos it's a Monday, and i really don't think i can afford to fly back just for one night. It's a real pity though, considering the fact that we were such good friends and we've known each other for a good whole 13 years?
I felt a little weird when i heard that she got married. I think it was partially envy and mostly jealousy. I'm so envious when i hear of people getting married, getting a new job, having a baby, buying a new car etc. I've been stagnant for the last 5 years godammit! Okay, maybe i've learnt to drive and got Dad to sponsor my little matiz, but other than that, i've achieved nothing! ZERO! My greatest accomplishment so far is swatting 30 flies in a row last spring. I feel so unaccomplished. Either i really am, or i'm just belittling myself. Sigh.
On a lighter note, i found some old stuff and pictures of Dan and I. Dan wrote some really beautiful poems for me in the past. I have the urge to post them on my blog but then again, i just want them to be for my eyes only.....SO, nope no one's gonna get to see 'em but me! I also found old pictures of us jamming and gigging. Back then, we were big rockstars (HAHA) but that was awhile ago and now we're both old and pruney. We really looked so good together back then, young and vivacious and full of beans. Looking back, it's almost a good whole 6 years already. *gasps*
I'll post the pics up later after i've finished sorting 'em out. Better still, i'll upload all of 'em into a yahoo album so everyone can enjoy the legend of Daniel and Shannon. Hahahaaaa! *narcissistic laugh*
