Merry Xmas everyone! I had a really good time this Xmas. Nad came down to Spore, for about 5 days and we managed to catch up for 3 full days. It was really nice having her back. She has been away forever, since 1997. And we only managed to meet up again in 2006 when I went to Melbourne for a holiday. And ever since then, we have managed to meet each other almost every year. It's either I fly over or she flies over.

It's funny how with some people, there are no awkward silences even after not meeting for years. And it's like that with her. We have been best friends since we were 13, when we were both dorks (but thought we were 'oh so cool'. LOL) and we went through the trials and tribulations of teenage angst together. And when she migrated to Melbourne, it was one of the saddest moments for me cos it was like losing a friend. And true enough, for almost 10 years, we lost contact cos she was really bad at sending emails and calling and I was pre occupied with my life here. So when I finally met up with her again in 2006, when I first flew down to Melbourne for a holiday, it was just fantastic cos we just carried on where we last left off in 1997. :) I guess that's the beauty about genuine and close friendship. Distance does not make a difference. And like I said earlier, since 2006, we have met each other every year at least once, if not, twice. This year alone, I have seen her 4 times. :)

So what did we do in Spore? We ate a lot. The countless coffees, lime juice, and lychee and rambutan drinks,  the peanut butter with banana and cream toast (sounds really gross? Its so bloody yum!), apple and cinnamon filled pretzel, the satay, bbq-ed chicken wings and sambal sting ray at Lau Pa Sat, Thai food, the buffet at Hyatt...IT WAS BAD! We were out of control!! People were staring cos we sat there for a full 2 hrs! Just eating! LOL! Even I was impressed by our ability to pack it in. Of course, the shopping. She went crazy, and of course, I went crazy. I always do when it comes to shopping. Got a cute cropped jacket, a hot copper/ gold jumper (very, very sexy. YAY!), sandals, make up....And just talking and talking and talking....It was really really nice to have her back. She makes me really happy and it was so great to be able to do things which we used to do when we were younger, just that we are much more older, and financially better able to spend. :)

I had a blast Nad! I will see you soon darling! Love you heaps!!!!
