There’s something about travelling with male friends that makes backpacking so enjoyable. At that time, Mr K was her long-time friend (also the male half of her Closest Couple Fren) while Mr L was her short-time acquaintance. Mr K was the “middleman” in the threesome.
Despite unfamiliarity and disorganization (they didn’t plan their trip, they just adopted Mr K’s sister’s travel itinerary as she went to Melbourne one week before them), they managed to pull off the last minute holiday with great fun, laughter and memories.
Three years on, they still recount the Melbourne experience with fondness, and are forever trying to organize another trip to Australia.
Three years on, she's back to being a student, like how they were when they first got to know one another.
Three years on, they have bought houses and are getting married.
Three years on, my female owner wishes them and their partners, blissful marriages and life-time of happiness even as their respective wedding days approach.
What triggered this recollection was that my female owner just visited the Mr and Mrs L's wedding blog, and this brought her back to the Melbourne trip where she first got to know Mr L better. Being her, she spent some time looking through the photos, smiling at those memories.
She’s sorry that she can’t be with them during the most significant period of their lives. She would always treasure the good times they shared, playing badminton, dinners and suppers, durians at Seletar Dam, last minute movies. She remembers their graciousness towards her and knows that even as they are enter a different stage of their lives, their friendship will still remain an important part of her life.
