i love meeting up with old friends - that sense of familiarity and comfort can't be felt anywhere else. it's like wearing your most comfortable pair of shoes and knowing you can walk miles in them.
especially right now in a completely new environment with scarcely anyone else my age, meeting and catching up with old friends just gives me that fuzzy feeling after.
but old friends never start off as old friends, somewhere in the beginning we all start off new and slightly awkward - like shoes that are hard and uncomfortable. and so i'm also loving the fact that i'm meeting acquaintances for lunches and making new friends - there's always the possibility that the friendship might grow and blossom into something interesting and comfortable.
these couple of weeks i have been in a rather comtemplative mood (but never penning any of my thoughts down), never felt uglier in my life, went on a sorta first official couple date, visited the dentist, cried at work, watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and absolutely it, walked down 23 flights of stairs (and got terribly wobbly legs after) and celebrated my first Valentine's Day as a non-single.
we actually celebrated V-Day (and our 9th month) a week before the actual date, 'cos we didn't want to squeeze with the crowd. we had buffet lunch at Kuishinbo, watched The Curious Case, and played Left 4 Dead after that hahaha - that must be the most unique couple activity ever. and on the 14th Feb itself, we spent a lazy Saturday at his place watching DVDs, ordered pizza, went for walks and exchanged our gifts. i so love sleep in days and spending it especially with someone special :)
especially for the love and effort behind them.
happy 9th month , my valentine :)
❤
