have been hanging out with the boyfriend and his friends quite a lot these few days. i have been crashing their lectures, having lunch and dinner with them in school, and we even headed to jb together last week (cue previous entry).
sometimes, i prefer them over my own friends (oops) but only because they are all guys and are hence more easygoing and have that brotherhood thing going. like in jb they all looked out for me like i'm their kid sister and justin is always giving jonathan and i a lift to and from school (albeit to serangoon and not all the way home but that's better than nothing, it helps to skip the mrt crowd!) and because guys like to do things together, they have been to paintball, played l4d, the one-day trip to jb amongst other things (i'm sure there's more to come).
i always genuinely enjoy hanging out with them talking about food over meals (they are all foodies!) and having icecream at hall 14's minimart after dinner at can 13/14. maybe it helps too that they're all pretty tall & i am the shortest among them so it contributes to that kid sister feeling (ha ha) since i'm always almost one of the tallest among my own girl friends.
to be honest i'm kinda envious of jonathan and the friendships he has ha ha. but i also know it's the effort he puts in maintaining the friendships like always making sure to visit his friends when they come down with a fractured collarbone or sprained ankle, and smsing or calling them once in awhile to keep in touch.
i'm really glad for the friends that jon has been blessed with - friends that i know he(we) can lean and depend on, because he does the same for them. and i know he knows he's blessed ;) and on an entirely unrelated note in this rare occasion that i'm not self-censoring, i know i'm blessed because i have him in my life :)

a wild flower dies
where it blooms
so let me be
a wild flower
its death shall be
the fading of beauty
