The memorable part wasn't my virgin trip to a fashion show, it was being able to be present to witness my brother's work piece being showcased on the runway. I wasn't bewildered by the gush of emotions which transformed to tears the moment I saw the first model walked out wearing That Dress. I had expected my tears to be triggered by the immense pride, let alone how easily my tear glands can be triggered. 

His model was specially arranged to be the first to walk out and last to walk back. Now I understand why do people say the opening and closing are the two main highlights. No, I ain't prejudiced, I always do think that there's an underlying reason behind all the walking arrangements at fashion shows. Anyway, the calligraphy strokes drawn by my bro are that of a female silhouette. 

Second moment of pride accompanied with tears: when he came out & waved. YES, WAVED. HOW ADORABLE IS THAT? He was the only one who waved cause his friends had said to do it together but my bro was the only one who kept to his promise. Man of his words *chest bump, that's my bro*

AND LOOK, he was standing in the MIDDLE.
*smirks*

Backstage scene.

My 2 best ladies always bring out the best in me: the me who is best in laughing and behaving hysterically. With them, I'm no one else but myself. Not having to worry about upsetting them with my blatant views or not living up to the expectations they have of me cause they expect nothing but my genuine heart. So carefree I feel like a bird except without a pair of feathery wings. 

No boundaries, no limitations. That's why best friends provide the BEST companionship whenever I'm in need of an emotional therapy.  

Relationships have letdowns, heartaches and things/words we can't do/say. Families are a real comfort zone which will never abandon you even at the most dire straits but for me, there's an inevitable feeling of having to live up to expectations so as to not them down in any way. 

For me, true friendship has none of those emotional baggages/barriers. Absolutely nothing but happiness ringing at the back of my head when I'm in their hands. 

The amount each of us paid for a Saturday meal at Sushi Tei was very reasonable given the variety of fresh and delicious dishes we ordered (except for WY who has an amazing small appetite). 

My main: Akashi Cheese Pasta. 

Janice's Main: Omelette with noodles which she described as hokkien mee, of course the yummy version. 

The pregnant fish: Ms. Shishamo

Mango Cod Roe Sushi

Salmon Sushi with the generous layer of salmon melting in our mouths instantly.

Spontaneity got the best of me when I suggested a walk from JEM back home. No, it wasn't as bad as it sounds and actually, it wasn't bad at all. It felt nothing like the longest walkathon, not when we had endless conversations lighting up all the dark neighbourhoods that we passed by. (ps: the walk from Jurong East to Boon Lay took less than an hour despite our deliberately slow walking pace) Dropped by WY's house for the 6 Tinkerjoys she bought for Janice and so we found ourselves munching on chocolate at 12AM in hope of getting the Tinkerbell toy. Despite not getting the main lead, the night has served us well with food and laughters.

It was last week when I clearly realized that I do practice what I've always preached to my girlfriends: that we can be truly happy despite feeling/being alone. I no longer depend on anyone for happiness because that's a risk too big to take. People can bring additional happiness into my life, but the foundation of happiness is what I've laid it down by myself so if any of these people leaves, I don't find myself looking like a pathetic fool struggling to search for happiness all over again.
