Flavour of a lifetime.

So, like, it was Ms. Synth's birthday, right, so a bunch of us had a celebration after school, and CL got her this mocha cake, which was nice, with lovely chocolate bits in the middle.

Of course, I couldn't just write that and leave it as it is, so I'mma go ahead and say how absolutely fun it was.

I feel a bit guilty, because it wasn't a grand celebration, and so ngam her birthday had to be on a day when everyone had all these other stuff they must attend to.

That being said, we were left with the basics - the core group of friends, who have been going out for recess together every day since Form 2 (and in Hui Lu and my case, since Form 1).

It was probably the most simple, but the most awesome birthday celebration so far. I think, it is because it was just the few of us, everybody knew everyone else's secrets, everybody knew what was going on in everyone else's lives.

'Cause you know, when you get a huge bunch of people, there are bound to be things you cannot say, and things that even if you did say, some people are not going to understand.

And the most wonderful thing I've realized, is that among the conversations I've had with different groups of people, our conversations within this particular group had always been the most wholesome (being not-perverted, obviously there are references to a bit of dirty stuff occasionally, but nothing extreme), the most clean (being not-gossipy, we've been long over all that 'who likes who', 'what who did' kind of talk, because it's no longer interesting to talk about this person and that person, sole exception being "that Special Person").

Haha, occasionally you come accross people who seem just so interested in who other people like, it can get very irksome.

I do admit, yeah, that my conversations in class can get a bit weird (not in a good way), and sometimes bit perverted, and conversations with other friends can get a bit gossipy, which later makes you feel slightly dirty.

Which is why I totally enjoy time with Ms. Synth. and friends, because we spend more time talking about ourselves and each other, than about other people.

Wasn't a conscious decision, just something that happened, I mean, we used to be gossipy all the time back in Form 2.

Of course, weird things have happened within the group, some things that put us in weird (and sometimes a bit uncomfortable) situations, with some of the things being pretty extreme, but I'm totally glad we've soldiered on and stuck through it together.

I mean, we've been friends since Form 1, then I later got to know a different bunch of really good friends, and Hui Lu and others got to know another bunch of really good friends, it still amazes me how we didn't just stop hanging out together. And it wasn't like we were ever classmates after that.

When you see some people spending all their time hanging out with different classmates every year, you become thankful that you don't do that whole "flavour of the year" thing.

It works with favourite television shows, and favourite bands, but not with friends. (By 'friends' I obviously mean 'real good, bestest friends'.)

So, we're in Form 5 now, but it was just like in Form 2, and Form 3, and Form 4, the four of us sitted around the table, only difference is when we talk about "That Special Person", it's a different person altogether.

Lovely. Couldn't ask for anything more. 'Cept maybe more marks for my Biology paper. ='(

P/s. Happy Birthday Ms. Synth! "Dream of Californicatioooooooon Mr. Beaaaaaaan Julius!"

Toodles everyone.
