This photo of Kae and ZY was taken during their children's day school outing to Polliwogs recently.
ZY is the son of our friends. He was born exactly 6 weeks after Kae. So you can say they knew each other since birth. ZY is not the only young friend Kae has in our group of friends. Especially from dar's group of friends, for now, as his friends are older and started their families earlier.
Every once in a while, there will be some gatherings organized, and all of us, the adults and the kiddos will come together and mingle. The adults will talk, eat, play mahjong, poker, wii, and the kiddos will eat and play. Altogether in a year, we will meet up once a month or sometimes even more frequently.
So, is it any wonder that all our children will be friends for life? I cannot imagine now that we will be attending the weddings of all our children in the future.
Who is the oldest friend you have? For me, it will have to be my friends I knew from Kindergarden, whom I still keep in contact with! Of course, it's never easy to keep in contact with and be abreast of all the happenings of every friend, but hey, there's facebook now!
Like what Carrie Bradshaw says in Sex and the City Season 5, "Friendships don't magically last for 40 years. You have to invest in them. It's like savings. You don't expect to wake up one day when you're old and find a big bucket of money waiting there.... We need an emotional retirement plan."
Let's all start saving!
