The thermometer reads 22 degrees after a whole day of rain, perfect weather for sleeping in and sleep in I did after my gf took a rain check on our shopping plans. I needed the rest anyway, after a hectic(but fulfilling) yesterday - Sunday which began at 6am, ending past midnight, to be exact 2.30am this morning. A Sunday which saw everyone come together, to celebrate Burong's wedding as well as at the stroke of midnight, to Martell toasts and bad singing, Mos' birthday. To quote my mother, Burong, although meet-ups are sporadic nowadays, is almost like a brother. We spent so much of our childhood years together, from the ages 11-16, Burong, goalie turned sweeper(after the emergence of Tweety bird) for our kampung football team, he later left to form his own Geylang Methodist Team, whom we would play every holidays, Burong who would come to my place and we would sit in front of the computer, he, my brother, and me, plotting our team strategies, mulling over which players to buy, in Championship Manager. I was a bad loser, hitting the reset button on a couple of occasions whenever my team lost to his, and I am sorry for that, although it may seem like a small thing now. Burong got married to Cecilia yesterday and I played my part as one of his 5 "Brothers".



Although it was a long and tiring day, I was happy, because I got to see so many of the friends I made growing up, which I hardly see now, as education paths, occupation, hobbies, interests, addresses diverge.


The other 4 "Brothers", my closest childhood friends (Not forgetting Yasa Piggy Killed-by-Neutral Creeps Down-Under). Out of the 5 of us, You could say, l am the odd one out, in terms of interest and lifestyle as we grow up and find ourselves, but our friendship transcends interest, hobby, geography, and lifestyle, you could say there is an invisible string which binds us to each other, and prevents us from drifting apart, like so many other friendships do. Because of friends like them, I feel rich and blessed.
