This week seems to be one of catching up with old friends. 'Old' being friends from long-time ago (secondary school mates). First, I managed to locate Rachael Tan, my bestest friend in sec school, on Facebook. Chatted online for a short while and came to learn of a few shocking updates from her. Totally unexpected and in the last 7-8 years when we lost touch, so much have happened. So many changes.
Then today met up with Mel Tan. (hmmm..i seem to have an affinity with people surnamed 'Tan'). Again, we both have not met for a while and it felt good to be able to catch up with each other again. Had a great dinner at Waraku and chit chat like nobody's business! Talked about work, Singaporean's ugly side (absence of social grace) and personal updates. Conversation of varied topics. On our way home, she showed me pictures of her parents and we both commented that they have aged. That's when we realised that WE ARE ALL GROWN UP! Its been 10 years since we graduated from sec school and that's how long I have not seen her parents!
Had a reunion with my TJ OACians (Famous 7) to mark Porky Quan's return from Hawaii and we learnt that Edith is going to get married end year. The first amongst us! She's one of my few friends who's going to be hitched and it makes me ponder. Well not so much about when it will be my turn to marry, rather the fact that we have actually grown up. Its a really 'WOW' feeling because I knew this people since school days and the memories of us being kiddish, immature school-going girls are still so vivid. Now that we each have our own lives and moving into different phases respectively, I can't help but feel that this is all so surreal.
25 going on to 26. Seriously am accepting the fact that I'm now a young adult and will be moving into adulthood pretty soon. Its just a different feeling and its hard to put down in words. Wonder what it really means to be a truly grown up adult? I believe I will make the discovery in the years to come.
