The Primary School Friend

awww this is so cute i had to post it :)

other than my family members, primary school friends are probably the oldest friends i can remember. i completely have no memory of my kindergarten friends - though i later on found out that one of my st nicks friends was in the same kindergarten as i am.

i have this primary school friend who stays in the same block as my ah-ma. but i have never talked to him since we left primary school (probably except once), even during chance meeting at the lift. though usually during those chance meetings, by the time we recognised each other, it was time for me to exit the lift.

so today, we had time to realise that each other was there. so we spent those two short minutes in the lift catching up - with only enough time to find out what each other is doing now. i kinda felt that he probably wanted to talk somemore. but somehow, my floor reached, and it was, like before, just time to exit the lift. and which i did.

but it was nice to somehow finally acknowledge each other after a whole fourteen years of living in such close proximity but never talking. so i found out that he has signed on with the navy after army, and just returned from a six months trip to the usa. wow. never did i expect myself to have a friend in the navy.

well it's like a lost friend found, albeit too short a reunion. but if it's fate, may our paths cross again.
