memorable couple of days with old friends

mama and papa took 2 days off work this week to meet up with some old old friends back from undergrad days... oh actually from pre-U days!! everyone's gone fatter, balder, wrinkler... but in our hearts nothing actually changed. we went exploring in town, laughed and mused old times over lunch, dinner, supper then breakfast, fought over who should be paying when and where - and then cheated lol... and best of all, mama and papa got to celebrate birthday for one of them with his whole big family in their old big home :) we had such a wonderful time. all of them have kids already - except a sister who's a year younger than us and still proudly single - and everyone brought something till we ended up with 3 cakes and 105 candles hahah! we also got to join them in their family Fri short prayers - which was quite interesting and touching in the fact they they embraced us in it and never made us feel awkward in any way... we parted yesterday with promises to visit each other again and probably plan for a trip to Bali together all rolicking and noisy in a van... imagine! now that'd be totally fun :)
