about women in their 30s and best friends
location: dinner @ jones the grocerdate: 16th june 2009
mood? silly, happy, nostalgic
when i was in my teens, mom used to tell me girlfriends are the most important thing for every woman to have. guessed i never quite understood that until i've hit my 30s last year.
the 4 of us have been friends for more than a decade.
celine since i was 13...
trish since i was 17...
tam when i was 19...
despite meeting all 3 at different phases of my life, perth was where we all bonded. it was a time where we saw each other through the ups and downs, the things we didn't do and wished we did, the things we did and wished we didn't do (ha). and if i had enough money, i'd brought them back to perth before bali for a "hen's night" getaway.
anyway, back to the evening.
we were awfully giggly that evening (sans booze). dinner conversation was utterly random. it hovered over men and blind dates gone wrong (could swear celine's got the most interesting dating stories), baby updates, work, coining singlish army code names to buying 4D on trish's new car plate number to debating about the origins of creme fraish.
we've decided to make our sporadic dinner occasions into a monthly ritual because as silly as the evening was, it made us realise how refreshing a little female sanity check with old friends can be. they're not afraid to tell it like it is.
i love old friends, they keep you in check.
