last night i had dinner with a very very old friend. a friend so old, i actually used these words on him, "xxx, i don't want to be your friend anymore...because you are such a jerk*.." hey i was eleven alright!
but anyway we were just talking.. i don't remember the exact details.. or rather i do, but it would be plain insensitive (not to mention rude) of me to throw it into the open.. but the point is i cannot wait to see where or what we will be like ten years down the road.
flickr should create a tool, which doubles up as a time machine that takes snapshots of us ten, or maybe just five years down the road. think of how much gratification or trepidation these polaroids of our future would fill us.
after dinner, i headed down to edward's house and although i missed out on dinner, it was dessert galore~ there was ben and jerry's, denessa brought a tiramisu cake from sweet secrets, the honeydew was awesomely sweet and edward's mum's cupcakes were heavenly- totally worth busting the day's calorie intake for.
edward's dad kept asking if we needed more champagne and i had a smashing great time playing texas holdem poker with shazzy looking chips. haha. honestly, though we weren't playing with real money, the gold-fringed chips made the game look almost professional.. but i realise what a chicken i am when it comes to gambling. i almost never raise bids and would "check/pass" if everyone esle did it too. perhaps this is due to the lack of alcohol content in my blood vessels. haha..
i can't believe summer's coming to an end. wai and edward would soon leave us for colder, greener pastures and gawd knows how long it will be before we have another gathering of such. i am getting used to charl and wai's coming and going, almost like 'see ya later'.. but for edward, fresh out of national service, it seems more like "awww... our little boy's all grown up.. he doesn't need mummy anymore..."
how very drama-mama.
*subject to change since memory is failing on me.. some ginko nuts soup please!
