old friends :D

i met up with jon and ricky yesterday! i'm not going to go into details of why i was late (i feel so so so so so sorry for being late when i was the one who said i could arrive earlier ~_~;; so sorry....), as i've gone thru it with them, and some other friends, already (i'm actually still fuming over it.. damnit why do ppl not try to attempt to make it easier on other people and work as a TEAM!!!!) but i was glad i managed to meet up with them! i hadn't seen jon in about 2.5 years and ricky about 6-7 years! it's been such a longgg time but although we haven't seen each other often, it still seemed like just yesterday when we talked/met up... i'm so glad i joined facebook! thanks mabel/raven!
anyway we met up at tst and ate dinner there.. dinner was a lot of fun as we joked around and caught up with each other.. i wish we had more time to chat but it was already kind of late and we all had to go to work the next day.. but, we'll get more chances to meet up again soon! i'll post pics when i can get jon to send them to me... (which is whenever he makes an attempt to pass his hdd to me so i can grab some songs as well...)~

anyway what jon said was true.. there will be certain close friends who, no matter how long, or how often, you see each other.. whether it be a year, five years or whatever, they will remain the same and there's never any awkwardness or need to keep in contact to be 'close'! it was definitely like that with ricky and jon last nite.. and like i said to them, after u've been working for awhile, you kinda realize that no matter how 'friends' you are with your colleagues, not all have the same 'substance' or 'closeness' as people you've met in school (usually that is... ray is different and has become my brother as well as ex-colleague!)~ i'm ever so thankful i met them again and realize that i'm not "alone" or distanced from people in HK and that they're here as well.. (ok i better stop before i become overly sentimental and go ramble on about friendship..) kind of like reassuring me that although i will meet ppl that change.. there are certain ppl who will always be the same~

end of the chinese new year :( officially it was on sunday that it was the 'last day', but i still can't believe it went by so fast! i got my final red pocket of this year on sunday after drinking tea and immediately went to open it up when i got home :P i took a pic of all the red pockets i received this year a few days ago.. but the pile looks so small without a few people's (especially my mom/dad's) red pockets D: (i was also too lazy to re-take it after i got a few more red pockets so.. there's supposed to be a few more X3)

my favorite ones are from my sis which is located at the top of the pile x3 they're the 'soft hard' special lai see pockets :D
