as luck would have it, kelly happened to be in sydney the same time i was! a few IDD texts later (isn't technology wonderful? i texted her and my text went from my mobile to the sydney satellite to the singapore satellite back to the sydney satellite and to her!)
despite having had yet another ten course lunch at lucio an hour earlier, we arranged to meet at a charming french patisserie by the rocks. pity i got distracted by the stores en route to the rocks from the city and was a teensy tiny bit late. and the patisserie stopped taking eat-in orders :( undaunted, we chose the prettiest tartlet on display and traipsed to the waterfront (kelly in her newly acquired boots and me in my satin flats) where we sat on a bench and watched the sunset over the opera house. we caught up, as girlies tend to do, and i love the understanding we have, forged over similar upbringing and education. she's such fun and i liked how we think alike, narcissistic as it sounds. so we swung our legs and talked about our reluctance to settle, down or otherwise, about our cherished independence and disinclination towards children. a little scary if you were our parents, but we figured we'd get the wanderlust and insatiability out of our systems before we hit the big 3-0 and hopefully mature into functional adults and potentially good wives by then.
(that's kelly!)
