Friendship

1. My good old friend of over 15 years Susan from KL came to Singapore last weekend and we had a really fun and unforgetable time at Takashimaya food court together with friend Li Choo.

2. We started chatting from the topics of her brother’s wedding, parents’ health status to Temasek saga at Wisma Atria Starbucks, a cozy corner with plug-n-play gadget, but seriously, if I were the owner, I may want to change the business model as there are just far too many "customers" hanging there for too long with little financial contribution to the management. And the whole place is like a market that not worth to pay for a coffee at $5, so we adjourned to Takashimaya food court for a traditional Ya Kun coffee.

3. As we were too engrossed and excited with the topic of blogging, suddenly, my cup of coffee flew and splashed onto my hair, face, half of the t-shirt and jeans. Li Choo was very cool about it and escorted me up to my regular beauty saloon for a clean-up, but unfortunately, it was closed for Deepavali holiday. We ended up in the restroom next door (after we got in, the door was automaticallly locked without our knowledge), and she kindly helped to soap and wash the entire t-shirt for me…..and for Susan, she went ahead to buy a new t-shirt for me, otherwise, I cant step out of the restroom for the rest of the day. What a kind and thoughtful friends I have, really the friends indeed are the friends in need. Thanks a lot for the assistance and kindness, appreciate it.

4. Morale of the incident: have good and thoughtful friends around you, and always have a spare shirt in your bag just in case!!

We all will never forget the coffee saga of 17 Oct 09, the Deepavali.
