Dedicated to Mumsgather

Shame on me complaining about trivial things and wasting perfectly good posting space on a supposed friend when there I could write about a true friend. For those of you who don't know my dear friend and sifu, Mumsgather, I would like to tell you a little bit more about her. We met when we were 16 years old and bonded right away. We were like twins, going everywhere together, usually I would sleepover at her house and we would chat till late late or rather into the wee hours of the morning. We tend to think alike on many many things and all those years never once did we ever had a fight about anything. What can I say we are soul sisters, I guess.

We sort of lost touch for a spell when I moved away now thanks to blogging we can continue where we left off. Go visit her some time as she is going through a rough patch having been diagnosed with epilepsy at age 41.

Being a packrat I have kept most of her cards and letters to me all these years and just the other day when I was looking through my treasures I found this:

Do you remember him? You gave him to me and after 20 something years, he's still with me, reminding me that I am special each day.


So here's our Virtual Reunion (Left to Right Fatty Poh, Fatty Boy, MG's daughter, Mumsgather and MG's son:-

FH, yes, you are very wise to realise that it is better to think of good friends than dwell on those who hurt you. MG is definitely one good, funny and sincere friend. I suppose because you are also of the same character, both of you have remained friends for all these years.

When I first visited MG's blog, her writings caught my interest and I started to comment there and found that she is so easy to get along even from blogging. I would also say the same of you.

FH, wah, this is like hot roti chanai.

Such a quick reply to my comment. I just returned from MG's blog and note your update on your mammogram.

Yes, all will be well and my thoughts and prayers be with you.

Mwaaaah....your kopi today very sedap lei. Hehe.

ps I was just saying to Emma today that not blogging is costing me a fortune because I have been spending £££ on books to read. So, tonight, I was thinking if I should get back to blogging. Thinking, thinking, thinking......

Dear KopiSoh,

Good for you. Thinking about your good friend instead of dwelling on bad thoughts.

Friends that remain friends thru tough times are true friends. I thank God for these friends. I call them my Angels.

p/s A good reminder, I should call one of my true friend today (after I drop by MG's blog). True friends are hard to come by, cherish, always forgive and never forget about them.

Have a great day!

It's a blessing to have a friendship that lasts that long. Good friends are hard to find and harder to keep.
