Tonight I caught up with two couples whom I see for dinner 3 to 4 times a year. The women are good friends from uni and over the years I’ve gotten to know their partners very well too. When I was running my restaurant, they would even make the effort to come have dinner there so that they can catch up with me as well as have a meal together. They are good to me like that.

Every time that we’d catch up it’s like time never passed and we’d carry on our conversations from before. I’m very blessed to have plenty of friends like that. One of the guys travel for his work quite extensively and he’d always have great stories to tell. And the girls will have gossip about people whom I don’t know at all, but is extremely entertaining nonetheless. Maybe it’s the way they tell it. We always have a good laugh.

Besides other conversational fillers like our jobs and money, the topics of sex and relationships come in from time to time too. The ladies are kinkay. Oh yes they are. :P

At the end of the dinner as we said our goodbyes and well-wishes for Christmas and the New Year, I wonder how fortunate I am to have friends like these not just in Perth but in other places as well. Tomorrow I’ll be travelling up to Singapore where I will meet up with more friends who are as excited to see me (I hope!) as I am to see them.

I’ve said it before, “I don’t need love when I’ve got great friends“. And to have them in more than one place makes me feel truly contented with my life.

p.s. Thanks for the gift tonight, Jennie! :)
