The Female Boyfriend
School got out early yesterday and Alan managed to get his procrastinating self out to hang out with me. We walked around laughing and ate Japanese food at the Esplanade...somewhat reminiscent of what we usually did in New York. So we hung around till evening and I did what I would usually do whenever I was in the vicinity on a weekday - call Shan for a meet up.
She was late and Alan was trying to cajole me into not to meeting up with her, since it was just for a short while. But I told him this:
"She's like my boyfriend, I will meet up with her when there's an opportunity, however brief."
Then she arrived and we scooted off for a fuss-free, frill-free good time. She's the only one I can spend late nights at the strangest of places with - Clarke Quay tourist shops? Mustafa? Or just sit at a strange obscure corner in town drinking supermarket-bought drinks instead of overpriced cafes. But we will also also go to overpriced cafes and spend Sunday afternoons ranting and reading and ranting then reading.
We walked to the train station yesterday but got distracted into Robinsons. She started looking at nail polish but I think she has too many already and colours bore me. I started looking at shoes and yes, I know I have too many pairs. So I kept having to pull her away from the make-up department while she had to drag me away from the Shoe section. In the end, she made me buy some strange sparkly make-up with her....I am not good at make-up and I enticed her into buying a pair of red shades with me...cuz we burst out laughing at the sight of the both of us in the mirror.
Then as we paid for our purchases, she whipped up two pairs of pearl earrings she had bought for me and herself earlier the day. I squealed in delight and put them on immediately. Parting ways at the train station, we screamed when we realised that we first knew each other, we were extremely contrasting in tastes but have sychronised somewhat over the years. We have the same pair of shoes, same pair of earrings and same pair of shades! And I somehow keep dumping on her the scarves and accessories I bought for myself cuz pretty as they might be, I never know how to accessorise!
I think our friendship went through alot of obstacles over the years. But I'm glad she's here and I'm here.
She's not a female boyfriend, but a really good friend.
And the best companion anyone can ask for.
