farewell my fren...

i have tht feeling when there is so much inside me tht i wanna talk abt but i dnt kno where exactly to start..feeling kinda emo today..

a really good fren of mine is leaving for good..as in leaving nz to return home..which makes me think of all the frens who have come and gone..i rem many frens tht ive made in the past who are now in various places ard the world..and yet im still in nz..stuck here..i guess i made the move already from singapore to nz..i wonder wat it was like for my primary school frens when i made the big move to nz..i guess we were still so young then tht it didnt have tht much of an impact on our lives..i no longer have much contact with those frens and we have all moved on..then there are the frens who moved away when i was in high school..the really surprising thing is i am still frens with some of those ppl..pretty good frens too..but obviously not as close as before..and we all have our separate lives..i dunno wat it would be like if we met up again..whether we would be able to chat like old times or whether there would be awkward silences..which makes me sad cos the fren who is leaving this time is someone i talk to nearly everyday..her presence will definitely be missed..less one person for me to talk crap with..less one person for me to gossip with..less one person for me to act stupid with..

sometimes i wonder wat's the point of making so much effort to build frenships when everyone is gonna leave in the end..sad rite..

so the other day the girls and i had like a farewell dinner for this fren who was leaving..this fren mentioned tht she hadnt had oysters or crayfish all this time she was living in nz..which was pretty amazing since nz is like seafood paradise..

so i made this booking at octagon restaurant..hadnt been there before but they had oysters and i heard tht they have entertainment as well..which sounded kinda interesting..

this restaurant was amazing..one of the best restaurants i had been to in chch..the atmosphere is pretty romantic too..dimly lit, intimate..sigh..too bad we were all girls..haha..we were even saying tht this would be a nice place to have a wedding dinner or even romantic enuf to be proposed to at this place..they had live entertainment with a pianist and a singer..and she was singing ma vie en rose..which is like super romantic..sigh..anyways..full marks for atmosphere..food wise, omg, it was so good..no complaints really..we had entree oysters au natural..small sized but very fresh..then for main..i had the lobster trio which was really good too..altho quite pricey..er hem..i shall not mention how much..but i have to say it was really good..huge platter with lobster cooked three ways..then we even indulged in dessert..i had tiramisu which was one of the better tiramisus ive had in a while..so all in all..a really good dinner with really good atmosphere with really good company..service was good too altho a lil slow but not many complaints overall! thoroughly recommend this restaurant..it seems tht this place is quite popular too cos when we got there the restaurant was full already..luckily i made a reservation..

so tmr i will be at the airport farewelling this fren of mine..even tho we r still frens, i kno somehow tht things will be different..

it makes me think tht life is so unpredictable tht no matter how hard i try to make plans for my life, things always come up tht screw up my well made plans..but oh well, i wish this fren all the best in terms of her future and career and may our frenship live thru the distance..
