met jess for dinner just now..supposed to meet at 7.30pm outside nooch citylink...typical of that woman, she was late for an hour! but i forgive her..i always do!
went to esplanade to have dinner..being the suaku that i was, i didn't know what there was to eat except the "Garlic Restaurant" which i dined at with karen on valentine's day! well jess acted like she knew the place but i guessed that she was just as lost as i was! finally, we settled on this place called "Thai Express"..she had thai prawn noodles and i had thai chicken rice..her prawn noodles looked normal enough when it came, clear soup with a few prawns, seafood and glass noodles..until she made me tried it that is! the innocent looking soup tasted like tomyam with an extra dose of pepper! thankfully i did not succumb to her over-enthusiastic urging to have more than a spoonful!! the thai chicken rice wasn't too bad and the sauce that accompanied it was good..you kind of know when something tastes good when jess starts dabbing her food into it!!
we got dinner out of the way pretty quickly..but we stayed on to chat..reminiscing about the past, bemoaning our current fates and wondering how the future will be like..anyway it just hit me today that her brother is now in secondary 4 and her sis is 21!! gosh..to think when i knew her, the brother was still a kid and the sis just got into secondary school! time flies..
a little after 10pm and after around 5 glasses of cold plain water -oops!-, we finally got up to leave..she footed the bill as an apology for being late! then it was that long walk to city hall mrt where we parted..we promised to meet up soon to excercise together (hopefully!)..
however, the one thing that really made my evening was when she told me at the mrt that it has been a long time since someone made her laugh so much..it would have struck a deep emotional chord just a while back..but this time, it just made me feel special, special enough to be more than a friend to someone and special enough to stay that way..8 years of laughter and counting..i wonder if she knows..she makes me laugh too much too!
