Met up with an old friend for coffee on the last day of 2018. We both came to realisation that it has been 20 years since we last met. We were classmates in 1996, then we were in different classes, two years later after graduating from primary school, we went to different school. And lastly, we went on the different colleges and different career path, living in different cities. Honestly, my memory of our friendship was very vague because we were just a couple of 10-year-old kids back then, doing silly things as kids. It is so for all my other friendship built during primary school years.

I have to attribute our reunion to the advancement of technology and social media. Without Facebook or Instagram, we wouldn't have reconnected after we had parted ways, and distance between us is literal considering the fact that she was an ex-air stewardess.

I looked at both of us, it's amazing how we still can easily recognise each other across the room after 20 years of growing up. We caught up and filled the gap. So much has happened, to us, to our common friends. I joked and said I was glad this reunion did not turn into selling session for some products or whatnots.

It feels like I got a new friend, even though she is an old friend. During the 20 years, we both met some friends along the way and shaped us who we are today, and now, we share hobbies and relate certain life experiences together.

I believe everything has its timing, and this, is a perfect example where friendship blossom when the timing is right. 

To many more years of friendship to come!
