Dinner by the Park
It has been some time since a bunch of us has gathered for dinner.....and I am looking forward to it. My friends have selected a nice place - Admiralty Park...right next to their workplace! Oh well...that means I have to be the one traveling up to meet with them...I guess that is a small price to pay for good company! Anyway, I have been meaning to visit Admiralty park as I heard that the place is quite nice and a good place for kids to visit and explore. BUT, I am really not sure what I would be looking at in the night....ha!
I have to admit, I quite like the idea of having dinner in the park..and I must say there are more options now to go to. I visited one at Labrador Park which was quite cosy ( even though it felt a little dim with only candle light to show you what you were eating). I would like to visit Rochester Park and maybe Botanic Gardens as well. But like all good plans....this will need time and effort to execute...of which I don't have a lot of...so I can only IMAGINE what it is like. :)

Friends
What do you have fewer when you get older? For me it is close, good friends. Although Steven reckons that I am quite a sociable person, and have many different groups of friends, there are only a few of them which I consider my closest & dearest friends. They are people that have known you for a while, and have seen you through good times & bad. In fact many of them have known me longer than Steven has! And one of them came to visit me from Malaysia last week end.
PS is my housemate from my Uni days and is now god-ma to my son. She lives in KL and only visits Singapore when her company sends her here for work! We have left Uni for a good ten years now and have always kept in touch. We don't really send each other emails or even MSN very often, but I know that she is one person that I can call on any time if I needed her. She is a friend that I am comfortable with and can share almost anything with. We used to chat on Sat mornings when we didn't need to attend classes or during our visits to the nearest "Mackers" (McDonald for those non-Melbournians). She would also accompany me on my late night supermarket shopping trips to Coles and my bargain shopping trips. She also taught me to make the easiest & most delicious spare ribs ever. ( just add ribs, a can of Sprite & 1/2 bottle of tomato sauce).
This visit was particularly nice, cos she had the time so stay at my place and we were able to spend some good time chatting & catching up. I wish we would have more time to talk though, cos I think as I get older, there are fewer people that I can really open up to like I do with PS. I guess this is cultivated from years of being friends, trusting each other and having faith that this friendship is precious.
