I love the holidays because not only it is a time for getting together with friends who are near, it is also a chance for reuniting with old friends who are visiting from far away. One of my dear dear friends Tin and her family have moved to Australia over a year ago. As in the past when I was still in Manila and she was in Singapore, we’d always make sure we will meet up whenever the chance is there. One of those opportunities came up when they stopped over in Singapore on the way back to Australia.

We had pasta & pizza for dinner while catching up on our lives, while our girls played.

I’ve made good friends from my 1st job in Singapore, and I’m happy to say the friendship has lasted to this day, even though we have all gone our own separate ways.
Jo went on even further and moved to Melbourne more than a year ago. On her way back to Manila for the holidays, her flight stopped over at Singapore and she took the opportunity to meet with friends, including myself and our other ex-colleague Grace.

We had breakfast at home for our mini-reunion and talked for hours till it was time for Jo to meet with her other Singapore-based friends.

Kim gave us a pleasant surprise a few weeks back when she arrived in the country unannounced with the new (and hopefully last) love of her life. We were fortunate to have spent time with her and get to know her new beau. However, the fun didn’t stop then. Kim came back last week for a business trip and didn’t forget to pay us a visit. Her old friend Rinna also came with her for lunch at our home.
