Therapeutic Dev

I saw the first glimpse of Dev online yesterday. She just got back from INDIA. A family trip they have been planning since forever. I've heard her talk about it since she joined the Ritzy place.

So it finally came true for her family. They spent 2 weeks and she hated all 2 weeks of it, except the last day. Coz it meant them being back in KL again.

No, they had no relatives in India. They just wanna do it coz that's what INDIAN families do!

Ohkay. Next on her itinerary!!

I finally did leave office early. Since I got back on Tuesday, I opened and locked the office. And early on Wednesday got me promising to myself that I will walk out that door at 7.00 pm.

At 7.10 pm, I was reminded that I'm late leaving the office.

I have been ready-ing myself to leave office since 6.00 pm!! I made a quick call to Dev and she's meeting up with Kimmy and Tam-Tam. Excellent. Just the girls.

I left office and walked over to Dev's place at the horrible Imbi. I don't know why she still lives there. But it's a first this year, and it's the first time I've seen her in a very long time... Since my wedding dinner, to be exact..

She's got so many things to share with us since she only just got back on Monday, and back in her apartment on Tuesday, back in office on Wednesday.

I didn't realise how therapeutic it was, to sit with 3 other girls and laugh out loud. We laughed so loud.. And I was so glad. It really felt like right then, I didn't need nobody else..

It was the first time I went to Dev's place. Scary to walk alone at night and all. But you know what? Our god-damned college used to have a god-damned quarter on IMBI. WE HATED IT. WE HATE climbing over gates. Coz gates close at 11 pm. When I was in college, Jess and I (along with CRIME LORD James, the Filth Element) didn't miss a single night of Ladies Night at Bravo's. Okay, maybe we weren't so notorious, but that didn't mean we didn't climb the gates at Cheng's!!

So, mamak was where we were gonna meet. Dev calls it Johnny's. Jess and I call it Beaver's. If you meet Johnny, you will realise why I called him Beaver.

Same old, same old. Really. Just like when we were back in college. The only thing is, I put on weight, Dev put on glasses, and Beaver's had some silver hair. And a TV with satellite channel. AND a lot more fluorescent lights!

We sat around for more than 2 hours, before my ride home came. I didn't realise that with all that laughing, it was so late already. I actually showered and went to sleep pretty well.

Dev was so animated when she spoke of her adventures. I wish I could take a picture of her. But she didn't let me. It's just so weirdly wonderful. We've been friends for nearly 10 years. But the really scary thing is, we've been under employment of the same company for 7 out of the 10 years we've been friends.

I need to breath.





So so scary.
