Friendship Club

"Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation."

- George Washington, First president of US (1732 - 1799)

Time and Friendship. Two seemingly distant qualities which to many bear virtually no similarities whatsoever. I never saw the co-relation between either too till rather recently. I can't seem to really put down in words this particular revelation I have, so the quote above by Mr Washington will have to suffice for now. Besides, the quote really does capture the essence of the whole concept of the fostering of good friendship.

On a lighter note, the past weekend went extremely well for me. Met the Menage e Trois on a friday after dance classes for the usual movie marathon. The theme for the night was "Crappy Movies" so our top two picks were "Ecks VS. Severs" and "Alien Resurrection". Both movies clearly reflected the theme and lived up to the preconceived reputation we had of them. Thanks again for a wonderful Friday.

I had no plans for the most of Saturday so I spent the day gymming and swimming. Looking at the mirror, there is definitely room for improvement, much more room in fact. :)

After the short but hopefully effective workout session, I headed down to Changi sailing club for a Wee Chin's 21st. Good food, rustic yet nostalgic environment with a ridiculous amount of alcohol. Perfect. Its been a while since the whole group of us got together and I must agree with Wong that we really should do this more often... I was the self designated driver for the night so I was spared the embarrassment of getting drunk silly :).

Slept in a bit on Sunday morning before meeting an old friend for a movie and drinks. We caught "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" at Vivo before parting. It was a really good french flick... which warrants a entire entry to itself. :)

I must say that dinner later that evening was wonderful. Pics and entries coming soon...

Monday... 4 and half more days to go...
