returning from a party, on a sweet summer night

i just came back from tom's 21st birthday party. it totally rocked. not only did we go to this lovely indian restaurant but i got to catch up with the high school guys again. (and i didn't drink a drop, so i was nowhere close to passing out like i usually do at parties -- and oh, how i normally hate parties!)

i can't believe how rapidly time flies and how little we can do about it. i saw arthur, leang, stijin and even thomas and i hadn't seen arthur, thomas and stijin since graduation which was 3 years ago. i'm so bad at keeping in touch like that. and i didn't realise how much i missed them until i saw them tonight. i also heard how some guys have moved overseas and how some had broken up, took up a career, changed schools or stuffed up cause of drugs. i'm especially happy how i got to see arthur and leang tonight. arthur hasn't changed one bit, i think he definitely needs to get hitched soon cause he's one of the most wonderful, caring guys i've ever met. he's one of those guys who always remember to include you in conversations, make sure your glass is never empty, and smile in a way that makes you feel so at ease and warm inside. and leang (who spells his name 'lange' now), he's grown so much more mature now, and so has stijin. it's almost like they're becoming men. and it's .. it doesn't even feel strange at all.

i'm so overwhelmed by how we're finally growing up, and damn, i'd love to see those guys again. we exchanged numbers tonight so i hope we'll stay in touch.

i am so very happy right now, and i realise how not-happy i've been for so long, and there's no way i can go to sleep soon, but i don't care, i don't care about anything right now.
