Abstruse Musing

I’ve known P for five years now and I consider her as one of my closest friends. We confide in each other when we’re unhappy and angry. I knew exactly when P had fallen in love with someone from work. I saw the look in their eyes and I immediately knew that something had happened between the both of them. I was genuinely happy for them, they looked so virtuous together. But I’ve learned that where there are people, there will always be talk. And so talk within the workplace spread and eventually took it’s toll on their relationship. No one at work knew about it, so they ended it quietly and swiftly.  P and I had each other when things went sour in our relationships. For P, it was the very first time she fell unconditionally and irrevocably in love with someone. The difference between our situation is that I did not have to see my ex at all. P had to go in to work with a brave face and pretend that they never happened.  A year from then, she told me she still loves him. She kn...

Today I met up with Huong, Tony and Huynh. It was a pleasant surprise to see them again, its been a while since I last saw them. We decided to drive to Hurstville, mind you, without the aid of a map. Its been a good 5 years since I've been there by car, and I had little or no recollection of how to get there. Thankfully our efforts did not fail, we reached our destination in due time. I am ever so thankful for road signs! It was quite bland and nostalgic. I used to go up there everyday in primary school because my Mom worked there (at my Aunt's restaurant). I recoiled each time Tony mentioned the words "coffee", "icecream", and "games". I don't particularly dislike those words, I'd say they're my ultimate vice... Tony sure has grown up a lot, he's only 14 and almost as tall as me. And yes, I had coffee, icecream and browsed several game stores with him. Huong seems to have matured a fair bit, she will be 21 this coming August. T...

So I've heard again from Amy. To be frank, I'm quite surprised she contacted me again. I thought she would disappear again for some unexplained reason... I thought I may have intimidated her a bit after hailing her with question after question. I wanted to know what she did with herself all those years. But I guess I really shouldn't make assumptions based on nothing. And if Stephen King books have taught me anything, I really should stop assuming. Don't assume, it makes an ass out of you and me. Amy called to ask whether I wanted to catch up this weekend. I'm quite looking forward to seeing her again. Would she have changed much? Today she mentioned that she wanted to study finance, but she'll postpone that until her children are old enough to go to school. I used to be jealous of Amy. She was the girl that never studied for a test and got away with results higher than a passing grade. I always thought Amy would be going to university with us, but sometimes...
