it's a tad frustrating seeing that i actually typed a nice, heartfelt entry all ready for posting just a few hours earlier, but as life would have it, there my computer goes and acts up on me, rendering the thought put into typing said diary entry to zip.

argh.

ok, changed the link to kz's blog site, since the guy has moved house from blogspot to xanga. check it out here. it's also linked via the whatchamacallit sidebar.

met kz yesterday, and boy was it a breath of fresh air. it's so different actually seeing him in the flesh after like, 3 months. email just doesn't cut it, not at all. anyway, it was pure fun hanging out in the starbucks, engaging in laid-back conversation whilst cuddled up in those velveteen armchairs tucked away in the far corner. strangely enough, i've never seen those chairs, despite having been in that particular outlet of starbucks umpteen times.

and yes, i have yet another letter to add to my collection. the letters that kz writes are beyond compare, trust me. never dull, never blah, every word contributes to the enjoyment of the note in its entirety. he's such a great pal -- no, pal isn't the word to describe it... it's beyond description, to be honest. i said that he hadn't changed, but i was wrong. on hindsight, i must say that the army has made him cast off some of that playful element that is better best left back in jc. it's all good though, so no worries. =)

the few hours (2? or 3?) we spent together yesterday brought back memories where we used to laze at the back of the lecture theatre, commenting on the dullness of useless lectures, the many laughs that we shared, even about things that seemingly made no sense, the times we argued, then made up again, sometimes after hours, others after weeks. i would go on till christmas (quite literally) if we were to recount all the times we've had. nevertheless, i wouldn't go back and change a thing.

so raise your glass to friendship, and best friends who pull you back when you're going in too deep, who laugh, cry, listen, let loose, hang out, educate, chastise, and most importantly, think with you. God bless you for all that we've gone through and come out of, much stronger.
