Catching up with Old Times....

Eyes opened at 11.30am. The sheets were still over me. Air con was blasting away…..Nice, comfi….

BUT…..I had to get up.

I hauled myself off the bed and washed up. I headed to the gym. Before I left the house, there was a missed call and a message on my mobile. I smiled….

It was a message from my very old, dear friend. Jetfighter is back! He is back from Sydney for CNY holidays. I can’t wait to meet up with him and catch up on old times. So, I contacted him and arrange to meet up in the afternoon. I picked him up from his residence and we headed to the nearby mall. It was really great to see him again! He is no longer the skinny type but a little hunky cos’ he has been swimming lately! He was shocked to see me. The first thing he said to me was: “You have changed. You are different”. I kept quiet and smiled.

We headed straight to Coffee Bean because there weren’t anywhere else for a light meal at 3.30pm. I needed to eat or else I would have fainted. I didn’t eat anything since I woke up. We were happily catching up on old times after we ordered and gotten our drinks.

You see, I’ve known Jetfighter for 11 years! He is the only closest, confidante, guy bestie whom I ever have. We could just talk anything, everything under the sun or moon. A very close platonic friendship, we share. We never had any extraordinary feelings for each other, except for a genuine friendship feeling.

*Flashback*

Jetfighter and I knew each other since back in high school. He used to sit behind me in class. Somehow we just cliqued and talked endlessly. It was as if it just happened last night – I could remember clearly that we used to chat on the phone till wee hours; and the best part was, it was nearing SPM time! We could just chat till about 4am, sleep and go to school at 7am. It was just a miracle that we could do that and yet felt fresh in school! Maybe simply because we were still young!

Both of us have seen each others’ happy and sad times; falling in and out of love. We still kept in contact pretty often until he left for Sydney 2 years back. Once in a while, we call each other or via emails; to keep the friendship going. Now, he has someone significant and I am happy for him! However, knowing that fact, I just keep our friendship a distance. (To avoid any misunderstanding as Jetfighter and I are really close).

Time passed so fast when we are having fun. We just chatted on and on and on…..while I was chewing my Caesar Salad. We updated each other about our life, the happening happenings and the not-so-happy happenings too. We also talked about those ex-classmates and schoolmates whom we knew.

It was close to 5.30pm and we left the mall. Both of us had family reunion dinner at night. But, it will not be the end of it. We will hang out again before he goes back to Sydney and God knows when I am going to see him again.

Can’t wait, can’t wait!

See, I told you this CNY will be gathering and catching up with friends for me! It has just begun….
