treasures of friendship

i've just gotten back in touch with a friend lately. she's just finished her studies in nz and out of the blue, sent me a text. then we decided to chat online and it has been good talking to her. we've always met up whenever we were both home and she used to send what i term "mass emails" to friends and family to let us know how she's doing and etc. but it's been a while since we really caught up coz we were both so busy this year.

we've known each other since like pre-teen days so we kinda go way back. her family goes to my church and i know her parents and her 2 elder brothers too. but i've come to appreciate her friendship even more now. we just seem to click and relate to each other in many ways, and i find myself sharing quite a lot with her.

yesterday while chatting, i invited her to come stay with me - told her my place is open to her anytime. and she got sooo excited! she has another 1.5 years at least til the offer expires because i will definitely be in PJ til after i finish my masters. after that, dunno la. hahaa. then we made a deal - that we'd go on a trip together before either one of us gets hitched ;) she's about 2 years younger, and not into guys right now and i'm not attached either so i gather we have plenty of time!!

she said "great friendships are so glorious" and i cudn't agree with her more. the blessings of friends are really precious, and i treasure them all.

before i forget, CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation, Soos!!
