My BFF from Primary sch.

Oh the wonder of Facebook, its such a great tool and it led my friend Elena to me.

Elena and I were best friends in Primary sch ... that is so long ago :P We used to hang out alot, I would go over to her hse and we would even write each other letters! However, when we went to separate secondary schs, we grew apart. We did managed to meet up a few times but b4 we knew it, we had lost touch.

Before I knew it, more than a decade had passed. She was constantly on my mind and I had even tried searching for her on FB but was unable to locate her :(

A few weeks ago, SHE FOUND ME!!!

OMG, I was so excited!!! I guess it helped that I posted the ugly class photo of us when we were 12 years old and it was then that she confirmed she found the correct person.

We chatted a little via FB's chat and then exchanged phone numbers and set up a date to meet. With her irregular schedule and my "no official knock off time" work week, we decided to meet on a weekend when she was off.

It turns out she lives near me so we decided to meet around the area instead of heading down to town. It was really great to see her after so many years and she still looks great. U would never have guessed she is a mother of a 5 year old. Oh I envy those with high metabolism and/or the will to lose weight.

We went for dinner at New York, New York over at Heartland Mall where we caught each other up with our lives and our family. We stayed at the restaurant for more than 3hrs talking b4 making our way to "part 2" to continue our date.

We ended up at Punggol Park where there is this really nice restaurant by the pond. It looks like I have found another drinking buddy ;) Hahaha ... we down a few beers while reminiscing on the old days and also what we have done in the last 10 or more years. We looked thru some old pics that I brought along and tried to name our classmates but we didn't do that well.

Our evening started at 6.30pm and it ended at around 2am. I hope our next meet up won't be in another decade.

19 years later ....
