For quite a while, I have not been having lunch with my friends. Either I have an early afternoon meeting or I am having lunch with my colleagues. Yesterday, realised that my calendar was empty during lunch hour, I called up ML – a good friend of mine whom I see him more often online than in real life – for a lunch date. Here was how the conversation went.
Me: Yo buddy, free for lunch today?
ML: Hmmm … [sounded very relunctant] … got work …
Me: You need to eat right?
When I picked him up asking him what he wanted to eat, he led me to this hawker center. Just when I was about to put in parking coupon, he turned around and told me that it was his birthday today.
What??
Hard to imagine how to celebrate birthday in a hot and noisy hawker center, I took him to Holand Village and had Japanese food for lunch. Kind of happy that I was there to celebrate his birthday. I should start to keep track of my friends’ birthdays.
