And it's time.
It's just about time they come visit their lonely chick here. It's time we relive the memories.
We first did it back in 2006. A crazy weekend in the Honks. Just a weekend in June, that took place just before my very final meeting with the then-company started.
Just a weekend, but it was enough to make lifetime memories.
Two and a half years later, we are still the same.
Very much has happened since. One chick has expanded her business but incurred more frustration and stress, run away on a soul-enlightening trip to Tibet alone on her birthday, scared us all with her once-frequent 'disappearance' acts, found a new 'hobby' that whisks her away to week-long trips to Japan and Korea. The other has very fortunately changed work twice, bought swanky new wheels, become a co-owner of a new apartment.
The last one, well the last one has taken a short break from the corporate world, said goodbye to the place where she spent her last six formative years, embarked upon a journey marked with unknowns, had one of the best times of her life pretending to be a sports journalist and TV presenter, suddenly had a new bigger family, packed her bags and moved out of her hometown, had her heart enlivened then broken again, met many new people in her life, gone on adventures in places she'd never had the chance to see.
So much has happened, yet so little has changed.
We still drink. As much, if not more. We still love to eat. A lot. We still crap and joke. The same kind that not many others share with us. We still look like we live in 美女街. But of course.
Most of all, we are still the same crazy chicks.
I think I cannot tell them enough how much I love them.
I just hope my hugs and my constant irritating rubbish over the msn can do for now.
One day, perhaps sometime another thirty years down the road, you'll still find the three old chicks hanging out as usual.
Maybe on Friday nights, maybe not. But definitely with drinks. And still cracking jokes at crappy Taiwanese shows.
