Well, not really
National Day though. Just happened we celebrated it on
National Day's eve :P It'd been a while since three of us having a
get-together kind of thing.
Ms. Busy had always been busy with her work.
Ms. Free flew aeroplane sometimes when she had too much fun during her free time :P And myself had been busy traveling too -
on and off.

Friendship celebration night - 0808 :D |
Let's count this as
"Friendship celebration night" ba, at the auspicious date-
0808 :) (Think about it, suddenly I'm thinking of buying
4D. Who knows it will open tonight! Then we can realize our dreams to travel together.
Hahaha... Huat ahhh!!!).

Cheers for our friendship... :) |
Three of us grew up and came from three different countries in
Southeast Asia - but none of us was from Singapore :D Wasn't it such a beautiful fate and good karma that we could meet here in this country?? It's just like mixing 3 different ingredients into the wok that blended nicely and created a delicious dish!!!

Ms. Busy and I - Knew each other since year 2004 |
We managed to know each other from the same working place but weren't working together at the same time. It's more like I knew
Ms. Busy first, then later on, after I went back to the same company for the second time, that's when I knew
Ms. Free.

Ms. Free and I - Toast the spirit on Octoberfest 2009 :D |
I was good with both and there was a time when I met them both together. They ended up click being together and that's how three of us started the friendship journey together :) (I think I'm good at bridging people together. Consider that as my strength ba! ^^).

Celebrated Christmas at my house - year 2013 |
We went through many events together, from cycling event, walk event, Christmas celebrations, Birthday celebrations, etc. After leaving the company we have changed jobs at many different working places and never once met again as colleagues.

Ms. Free Birthday celebration - Our first night over in 2014 |
The above was our first time night over at
Ms. Free house together. We bought ingredients and had steamboat. Drank and slept there. I think the next day we went for walk event early in the morning. And last night it was a second time we gathered and slept over night, but this time it was held at my home.
Ms Busy bought
KFC and the rest prepared the beverages.

Time is the greatest gift quote (Pic source: Google.com) |
It wasn't easy to maintain friendship. Everyone had their own lives and lived in their own world most of the time.
Yet, we still spared our precious time to be spent with together. There were
highs and
lows throughout our lives and usually we could only share it with people we trusted the most.

Friendship quote (Pic source: Google.com) |
And for women, as we grew older, our problems varied a lot - from family matters, working life, boyfriend/ girlfriend matters, health matters, money matters, and so on. However, we readily offered our ears, lent our hands, and shoulders to lean on at anytime, and kept the secret safely just between us. Having each other presence and support was the greatest gift that bestie could offer too!!! :)

That's what friends are for! :) (Pic source: Google.com) |
It wasn't always sweet either. Sometimes we were angry with each other but after some time we managed to click again. There would never be grudge. Just momentary unhappiness, which was soon be forgotten.

To all my friends: I'm grateful for you :) (Pic source: Google.com) |
I'm very grateful having both of them in my life. Really really grateful. We learned from each other about many different things in life. Thank you gals for trusting me to be your best friend all this while. I know for sure that we shall treasure our friendship together, if possible, 'til the end of our lives. 'Til our hair turned gray, skin wrinkled, teeth gone, et cetera ^^ Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! :)
