To new births and to old frienships

The third day of Chinese New Year seems like the best day for me since I don't know when. I have been waiting for this third day to happen (ever since beginning of this year) and it seemed that this day did not disappoint me. Started out with a warm day, I then washed my car then went to pick up Esther. Off we go to an old friend's place, actually the friend is old though our friendship is not so old, had a whale of a time (for me at least). I guess the relationship I had with others there at the first party was good and it kinda bond even further on the relationship that we have is the one thing that I was looking forward to. At the party, found out that we had a friend who just gave birth to a baby girl (Caitlyn Luiza Lim), a new friend, though only hours old, became a part of our group when we proceed on to visit the two new mom and pop. Yup, friendship like these wished it would last as long as I shall live. A warm, fuzzy kind of feeling is felt when I see a whole group celebrating each other's presence and a sense of belonging too. Oh how long since I felt it last.

Then moving on to a dinner with more old friends, more food and having a 'jolly good' time. A jovial party with pizza and barbeque chicken (all from the nearby Domino's Pizza) not to mention great cakes. I have to say great cakes because I ain't a cake fan. I eat them but I don't sweat over them but this one... wow.... the fruit cake with rum was just the type that hits my taste buds and send me to the moon. I ate five or more slices if I can recall and this does not contribute to my diet program that I am trying to follow and achieve.

Ending the day with a nice group and a nice dinner just made me feel like a young puppy that the master gave a five-star bone to. Having said that, I just wonder will I have a nicer party like this ever with another group? I would say not very likely ...friends are hard to come by when you are older and the older you are, the more you want to keep your friends. Making friends such as these often takes a great amount of time and the older you are the more difficult to find time to reinforce friendship. In school is much easier since most of the time you spend is in school and classes and activities helps bonding. When we work, it's sometimes tough to find time to share our lives with your colleagues. Anyway, it's time for me to hit the sack, it is already 'tomorrow'...the fourth day of Chinese New Year.
