I have two friends to catch up with, both of whom have just dropped by from Hong Kong. They are from different circles so I will have to catch up with them separately. It’s an effort especially when you are normally not in the mood to go out, or when you have to move your schedule around to accomodate the visitors whose schedules are much tighter than yours.

But friends, and relatives whom I like, who are visiting from the eastern states or outside of Australia are a group of ppl whom I will always make time for. No matter how tired or uninspired I am, I will always drag myself out to meet them. And once I meet up with them, I don’t know why I would have even contemplated not coming.

Sometimes they may be apologetic for dragging me out to see them but I always say to them,

How often do you come here anyway? I can see everyone else some other time.

I feel that every minute spent together with ppl that you don’t normally see everyday is that much more special. Quality over quantity? Or is it that all the goodness of the company get condensed into the limited time that you have together, such that it becomes even more intense and enjoyable?

But don’t let the title of this post fool you - I treasure every minute that I get to spend with my favourite friends and family no matter near or far. Time and money is nothing if you don’t have ppl around whom you can share with.
