CODE : MOLE MEETING

Today had just been plain depressing. From the moment I stepped foot on our dear office, everything just felt wrong. I guess there are just days when the world just falls on you. Sometimes you catch it with your head - a total clash, and there are just days that you seem to make do with the situation.

I don't know why I was feeling down today. I never got the chance to momentarily ponder on it and have some quiet time with myself. I only noticed the four gigantic pimples growing on my face fast. They have their own heartbeats. I was so scared I might give birth to four kids soon! But other than that, everything just became one big, gray of blur surrounding my bubble.

Sighs.

I have not felt the acne presence for quite a while now. Maybe it's just because of stress at work that these babies of mine just keep on waking up from under my pores. I so don't want them. I can't wait to ripe them up and squeeze them in between my thumbs so they can burst out and heal quickly, hahaha. I know, it's a no-no. Just wishful thinking.

On to my story. I logged off from work 30 minutes past my working hours. I waited for Elijah (known to his friends as Fifi) to finish his whatevers. I accompanied him to the clinic downstairs to have his mouth sore checked, which according to the doctor was an ulcer. Whew. Singaporean doctors sure know how to alarm and frighten the hell out of their patients. Even though we had our second thoughts, Elijah got his prescription, went to the toilet and started applying the topical lotion for the inside of his mouth.

Miraculously, it worked. It made his mouth numb, including his tongue. But we still continued to chit chat while waiting for Ching downstairs so we could have dinner together. They knew I was depressed.

After a few siew mais (steamed minced pork wrapped in wanton wrapper) and bochi (a Chinese food difficult to describe - a soft fried thingy, fried with sesame seeds and filling inside), Ching our "disabled" friend met us. After 10 light years.

We were undecided at first where to go for dinner. Since Fifi could not take Japanese food, we ended up with the oh so famous fast food we could find - Burger King. It was always fun to unwind with friends. Talk non-sense, gossip and laugh the heart out over french fries and burgers. We ate everything we ordered. It was decent but not heavenly alright. But with friends, ordinary food becomes sumptuous feast for the Gods. You always appreciate the company and the effort.

We spent a few hours sitting over our empty trays and left overs sharing funny experiences, work related stuff but stress-free and all the yada-yadas. Prince also joined us after a few hours. We just saw him walking around the area. He joined the fun and the silly antics. Three was a crowd. But four was a riot. I had a blast. I even forgot my depression.

Thanks to my friends they got me through this day happy.

This photo is extra special. It's very rare to see four friends sharing the camera lens together, with our moles complementing each other's faces.

One tag line to say for this photo - Look at our moles!

What constellation sign do we remind you of? Hihi.
