the power of touch

i was pleasantly surprised by husband's friend, whom kissed me on the forehead quite suddenly.

we were half and hour into talking, catching up and i havent seen him for more than 3 years... he suddenly scooped my head with both his hands and pulled it forward and planted a kiss on my forehead.
he said, "miss you la, havent seen you for so long".

given any other context, i think i might have run away or said "you're crazy" but this guy emulated so much love that i could feel the friendship he has for my husband transcend to me. they are friends for over 25 years and you know, they say friends you met at school are the best of times.

his fiancee came by later, cheek rubbed with me (so ang moh, given they are malay royal class) and apologised that she didnt bring me a present this visit as she was in a hurry here and has to attend to his uncle who is critically ill at our hosipital here in Singapore.

we chatted quite a bit and they made us promise to visit them at KL.

i always say that we must always make time for friends, old or new.

If i live another 57 years (i hope to live healthily till 90!)
,, if i live another 57 years,, that would mean i have 20,805 days.

20,805 days is COUNTABLE. so i must make every COUNT.

dont you think so?
