Sitting on grass, The Esplanade, Singapore (September 2009)

I was halfway through washing my face when an incoming call alert lit up the homescreen of my cellphone as it shrilled loudly in the morning stillness. A long, foreign number.

I guess picking up, albeit hesitantly, was one of the best decisions I've made for this month because a familiar voice drifted through the line. PX was really lovely to give me a call between classes to wish me a happy birthday.

What an awesome friend!
