Meeting friends

The past few days have been somewhat a blur. We've anticipated this trip for a while and now, where do we begin? It's like being in front of a buffet table and wondering which dish to start with.

We've had quite a number of good food - japanese food at tamako (casuarina road), mee rebus, carrot cake....yum!

And we watched a movie, Merry Christmas, which I liked and Phill did too. Except he said it was a half-truth in that it showed as if it was only that particular German, English and French unit who had a ceasefire and celebrated together. In fact, there were many units down the line who celebrated because the war was so unreal to them having only entered it several months prior. The following year though, their superiors made sure there was no ceasefire by keeping up with the bombing raids.

One of the things I really look forward to in this trip was catching up with friends and tonight, we did. Xiujuan, Christina, Shir Ee and I met and ate at the hawker centre at the Youth Park in Orchard. The quality of food was okay but the conversations were great. I realised, sitting there, that I miss having friends when I'm in Australia. Friends who know you, your bad and good side, and love you anyway. Friends whom you can be yourself. We talked/ gossiped quite abit about our lives, our opinions the state of art in Singapore (erm, very intellectual, yah), and our future plans. Then it was time to head home and it was almost midnight...
