4 Birthdays and a box of mooncake

Recently I met my childhood friend/neighbour Siew Lan while doing a show at Suntec City. I haven't seen her for 15 years at least. I was rushing at that time so I quickly gave her my contact number and rushed back to the stage. I didn't expect her to invite me to her baby boy, Victor's first birthday party. I made effort to turn up even I had another birthday party that happened on the same day.

I was nervous when I got there and had to calm myself down for a good 15 minutes before I took the lift up to her apartment. I mean, seriously I haven't seen SiewLan for so long and I felt a little weird. But then I recalled the good old days. The days when we were both little girls, having fun with play pretends, using blankets to create costumes and playing badminton at the playground. Yet now we both have grown up and she's a proud mother to a beautiful boy. The best part of the party is I met another of our childhood friend/neighbour, Hun. Lots of flashbacks came into my mind as 3 of us updated each other about our lives.

I headed off to another mass birthday party after Victor's. Yep I use the word, MASS. We were celebrating the birthdays for 3 friends at one go. We had dinner at a German restaurant at Raffles City and then followed by kopi and tea till late. Can you imagine the big bag of birthday presents I carried that day? LOL

So it's mooncake festival. I'm so glad they have this mooncake "convention" at Raffles City. This made it so much easier for me to make my festive purchase. Met an old friend at one of the mooncake booth. I didn't recognize him until 10 minutes later.... He looked so different. I was ashamed of myself for being rude. Rude in a way that I didn't recognize my own friend. He gave me huge discounts for my mooncakes and that made me felt even worst.

This has been a heart warming week indeed, from meeting of childhood friends to celebrations of good old friends. I've got a callback from a production house so this means I may have jobs coming in which is good. Gotta save money for my education and spare some to pamper on my nieces. It's school holiday now. I guess I shall bring the girls to the beach or do some trekking in the jungle for a change.
