Lunch with old buddies

Last Monday morning, I received a text message from Halida, that read, "Selamat hari raya aidiladha sweeties :) wanna hve coffee on tuesday b4 everyone leave 4 holiday?"

and I replied, "Salam aidil adha halida. Coffee,why not, but am available after 10am".

We have been waiting for a long time to get together for coffee to catch up things. Unfortunately everybody is so dead busy with the research, and we couldn't find time that fits everybody, until last Tuesday. But instead of meeting at a cafe, Sabrina invited us for lunch at her apartment. That was more than perfect. With wonderful food (Sabrina is a great cook), nice and cosy place, what more one can expect. So we can talk as much as, and as uncontrollable as we want too....ahahaha


Halida and me, met up at Adelaide st., and took the 199 bus to Sabrina apartment. Upon arrival, we quickly sat around Sabrina dinner table, and had our lunch, while chatting. There was an awkward moment at first, just a few minutes hanging, everybody was trying to start a conversation (or probably everybody was too hungry), until Sabrina said, "Sooo....." Ahaks...then everybody began chatting, gossiping, laughing, catching up on things. When 3 very stressful, underpressure ladies met, there were loads of things to talk about. But we don't talk about research. No no... we talk about life, friendship and relationship.


Then came the photo session. Everybody was smiling. It was a happy moment. Away from all
the thinking, writing, researching....away from all the madness of studying.

We had a great time, or at least I am. So happy to see Sabrina and Halida. Halida will be going home to Brunei soon, for good. Wish the three of us will meet again, in the future. All the best for all of you, Sabrina and Halida. InsyaAllah we will succeed.
