Whoa, even Chris(tina) said I've 'loosened up' since my Junior College days. Apparently, it was not that I was particularly uptight then, but I have loosened up now, still. Goodness, I almost don't remember what I was like.
Anyway, it was fantastic seeing Chris after a year. More than fantastic in fact, fantabulous! Nice to know you can spend an entire lazy, breezy afternoon hanging out with an old friend even if there isn't time (well, we've been lazy to take the effort too) to keep in touch regularly. And I was delighted to receive a belated birthday gift- the Happy fragrance from Clinique. Fruit and floral based, nice. I really do miss Chris, one of the most down to earth, easy going people I know.
Interesting that I've received two bottles of perfumes this birthday, since I've lately forayed into the world of scents and perfumes, although I did not really make it known to anyone. People just... bought the right thing!
Sometimes, girlfriends are the best. Girlfriends like Chris (actually, this applies to both the Chris I know). Yes, I say this in spite of the fact that people nowadays seem to be saying that I only hang out with guys. Well, admittedly I currently have more guy friends to hang out with, but it's not my fault that all ym best girlfriends went on exchange at the same time huh?
Actually, it does intrigue that in the later part of my life, I make guy friends at a faster rate than girl friends. I suppose it's a good thing that I attended a girl's school for the earlier part of my life, so I managed to make my best girl friends then, and keep them. In JC, my class had a grand total of 7 guys, so of course, I had one very good guy friends, and many girl friends. In the U, my first close friend was a guy (Ray! =p), and I made girlfriends along the way, but probably more guys that I'm in regular contact with. It just... happened that way. And I suppose only guys want to go running with me.
Strangely, I have worked well in all-female project groups, but all-male project groups have been a source of frustration. Interesting isn't it? Put too many of the same kind together, and then problems arise. Mix them, problems are usually of an origin other than gender predisposition.
But well, I have KIM! :) Though technically we didn't meet in nus!
