Annual Get-together
Tuesday, January 02, 2007
This conversation came up last night over MSN about measurement of success, otherwise known as comparison.
'2L car? good for you... I have a 2L camelbak.. good for my system'
'You have a beautiful wife? Great! I have a faithful NikonFM2 ... she's with me since 1990'
'You earn 200k per year? Awesome... Man... I lost count of the Ks I earn from shoe mileage'
'Sub-5? I like Subway sandwiches more!'
This morning, accompanying my folks for breakfast and followed by some grocery shopping, I had a little trouble in walking. It only happened when I carrying the 10kg pack of rice. Overall, the reddish patch is gone. I am still sticking to a no-run policy for this week.
Gathering plan is still on! My Sec School friends went ahead to karaoke and I joined them only at the dinner. I managed to board the new range of buses as well. Nice! While walking along ECP, I think I spotted Divey running along the coast. I was on headphones and did not call out to her. Meeting everyone at the restaurant, we had a eight course dinner (compared to our usual BBQ). BBQ requires more preparation work. Now that we have 2 babies and 1 kiddo .. it is tougher to do BBQ. We did a cheers to our 20 years of friendship. We all breathed a heavy sigh... more to express that it is really difficult to find friends that still keep in touch with one another after all these years. Having friends like these, makes me feel blessed, every year, every time.
