Today, while I was busy working, my phone beep from a whatsapp from Intan saying "Meow, kita orang dekat Empire ni". I was like "Whaaaaaaaattt?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?! We can plan something out!". I was planning to stay back finishing my work as tomorrow will be public holiday. Ahh..screw it and I replied "Baru sampai ke? I'm going there now!"
Such an impromptu meet up. Luckily she texted me just in time my office hour is over. Shufiah and Intan are my best friends (that's include Wardah too) since my first days in UiTM Penang, way back in 2005!! Shufiah is working in Johor now while Intan is in Kelana Jaya. Shufiah is in town for public holiday and coming to Jaya Grocer to find some stuffs (which she didn't buy any actually..). I rarely seen these two and since they're here, I packed my bag (bye-bye boss!) and grabbed a taxi to Empire (yes, I'm a loser that doesn't have license). It's only 5 - 10 minutes drive..
I loveeee them so much, we were so close during our Uni days and they're the ones you can rely on when you're in trouble. I am an open book with them, I can tell everything and vice versa. Sometimes I do feel bad because I always felt like talking too much, not giving them the chance to talk. I just can't control it, because it's so comforting being around them. They never criticised the decisions you made and there's only a good and supportive remarks coming from them. Ahh..how I wish they were around me all the time.
Intan is always a shy one and own an angel's heart. She always so gentle and caring. She never talk bad about people, ermm..okay, maybe a little which seriously a rarely occasions. She also like an IT geek and I always refer to her on how to download movies, what the heck torrent is and she's the one that introduce me to Anime, J-pop, K-pop and stuffs (on which I'm glad I didn't really fancy about). She always made the sweetest gestures ever; delivering cake during my birthday, giving me gift, baking cookies and some other stuffs she always gifting me. Sometimes I do feel like I don't deserve them at all because I didn't do the same, Boo!! She doesn't talk much but she is the most caring person I've known. Me? I missed wishing her Birthday, buy a gift and courier it or just buy her dinner...I made a worst friend to her..Hmmpph.
While Pia, she always a protective one. She may seems loud and rough/strong, but she has the softest heart and warm personalities. That explains why people are easy with her, lecturers, parents, old people and children are all love her. She leave quite an impact on people. I love talking to her because she's giving the wisest advise anyone could give. Talking to her is so comforting and assurance that your secrets are safe with her. I do not know what I'd be without them. She also a best gossip partner anyone could ask for lol! Hahaha. In any of our assignments, she'll be volunteering herself to become driver/rider. She is like a big sister to all of us. I am so proud to see what she has become now. *She is a Culinary lecturer now, wow!! Condolences to all her students....hahaha, joking!
My another friend, Wardah is actually the closest to me during my Diploma days in Penang as we were roomates, tablemates, study mates...etc. She is my first friend on my first day in UiTM back then. But we went on separate path after Diploma because she's working while us continuing our Degree. She just recently got married and I am so happy for her that she finally found the one. In Penang, we were inseparable, doing everything and going everywhere together. Wardah is very soft-spoken person, kind hearted and umm..sensitive. Haha...sorry Wardah! Yeah..trust me, she's such a baby and always sulking when something is not right in her way..hahaha. She such a good listener and we always have the same thought/opinions about someone/something. She knows all about my crush (yucks..haha), love life and family. We call her Utub bear because she has a fair skin and obsessed on Winnie the Pooh. Yes, you read me right. She collects everything that has Winnie the Pooh on it even a tissue packet (-_-)
So, back to today, we just hang out at Tous Les Jour restaurant and talk, and talk and talk. We didn't realized the time passes, there were just so many things to share! Life, career, future plans..even kids. Well, my baby to be specific. It always good to sit and reminiscing memories right? Except the part that it's kind of reminding us how old we are now...yuckss. We ordered a Pizza for sharing. I forgot what's the name, but in the menu description, the ingredients were cheese, sliced beef and RED PEPPER. What came to us were cili padi instead!! CILI PADI for a topping, CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?! Man.....the Pizza was so pedas!! Even my Nogori tongue can't handle the spiciness! I even asked for extra ice.... Come on Tous Les Jours, even if you're ran out of RED PEPPER, Jaya Grocer is only one level below..
Despite the spiciness, we had the best time like always. I've read somewhere that any friendships with more than 7 years, it will probably be a lastime. I honestly feel it is true, and I'm pretty sure we're heading to it :) Let's do more of this! Preferably, after working hours hehehe
Last but not least...
Back then when we were young, naive and slimmer. Ohh..rindunyaaaaaaa.
