Random Thoughts #4: Friends for Keeps

I came across a quote online that says "Remember, you don't need a certain number of friends, just a number of friends you can be certain of." I also read somewhere that the friends you make in high school are the ones you keep close to your heart. I truly agree with these 2 quotes.

Back in High School, I was very fortunate to have met 4 lovely people. They are Mel (which is @memebibiboboo), Joanne, Maybell and Orange. We shared 4 years of fun, crazy and unforgetable moments that we will cherish forever. Since we went our separate ways after high school, the 5 of us never gathered again for a long period of time. Some have met the others but never the 5 of us together.

After 13 years, we finally had a chance to sort of have a "reunion". Since all of us love to travel and some of us live in other countries, we planned to meet in Malaysia and Singapore. First, Mel, her fiancé and I went to Kuala Lumpur for a few days then headed to Legoland in Johor Bahru where we were joined by Maybell and Orange who came from the Philippines. After a day in Legoland, all 5 us travelled to Singapore to meet Joanne who was already working there.

We were ecstatic seeing each other after a long time. A lot of stories and laughter were shared the moment we sat down. It's like we were back in high school again. The only difference is that we were in a different country and obviously, we were not teens anymore.

I have been to Singapore before but this trip is much more special because of the people I was with. Even an ordinary place can become extraordinary if you are with your close friends. I hope we will get another chance to travel again in the future, for this trip is one of my most memorable one to date.

NOTE: I will be uploading a detailed "Travel Diary" of this trip in the future.

See you on my next one,
