Jennifer and SuYee were in the same department as me, especially Su Yee who was in the same branch as me. The 3 of us were great company in tea-breaks, lunches, courses and we even took leave together to sing KTV, haha! That's how close we are....
As for Vivian and Kim, we got to know one another through the foundation i.e orientation course for all newly recruited entrants. Fate really plays a part. We just got on well so well as though we have known one another for ages. Since then, we made an effort to meet one another often though we span across different departments. From singles, we witnessed one another's marriage, shared the news of pregnancy, laughed at one another's pregnancy advanced look, witnessed the birth of our 2nd baby. That's how COMMON we are!
Now all of us have left the organisation except for my dear Vivian, but our friendship bonding is still very strong. Thanks to facebook and smses. We kept in touch via these communication tools. Thanks to I-phone who enabled my pals Su yee and Kim, who are 'distant' facebook users to log onto facebook more regularly.

We had a simple dinner at AMK Hub Ichian Sushi. All of us were excited as the last time we met was Jan 2010! There's so much to talk about on career, my 2 pals past vacation trips etc. Sigh, as for me, no vacation for this year except Genting due to my NIE studies. Really envy being singles at times but looking back at my 2 little 'J's, still think family is a preferred option for me after all.
Highlight was the gift exchange. So coincidentally, our gifts ranged from small to big and all had at least a purple item in it. Haha, great minds thibk alike. They commented I didn't bring Jovin around this round as they remembered she took so many great photos for us then. Thanks to the 2 great aunties who bought wonderful X'mas presents for my little ones. So sweet and thoughtful of them. I told them Jovin will be doing her P1 registration next year. They exclaimed it seems only yesterday they carried her as a newborn! Time really flies but our friendship definitely still rocks year after year!

Last night, had another great binge on Jap food again. The 3 of us never admitted we have aged, despite being now mothers of 2. But guess what? All of us met the same situation i.e stuck and unsure of the directions leading to Plaza Sing from the mrt station. Firstly, we don't always shop here. Secondly, we usually travel by car when we come here. Hubby would drive and we would rest in the car. Haha. Vivian and I still managed to locate the correct direction at our first attempt. But Kim was totally lost and even called us for help. Haha, we told her to admit it and just ask any other youngster. But she didn't want to 'expose' her 'maturity' , so in the end, still managed to find her way out.
We had a good laugh over this. Hmmm, signs that we are really no longer YOUNG. As usual, kids, career, hubby- common topics. How to train our kids, what enrichment lessons, what primary schools .... These are all our mummy topics!
It has been a wonderful night of catching up with my great pals. We have really so much in common, think this will last us through long as our kids are almost the same ages. My forever great KPO mummy friends!
