of volatile vacations and funny friendships
so, i’ve been to cambodia and back, and it was quite an unforgettable experience. angkor ought to be on everybody’s bucket list.
it was interesting to travel with enghong. i didn’t kill him, as amos thought i would – enghong was lucky, im missing my period once again and thus he missed my pms window. (not complaining..) strange interlude in the friendship – hardly kept in contact since j1, and we went on a full-fledged holiday after a 5min conversation in june, after which we didn’t see each other again until we met at the airport.
that it is an interlude was apparent the minute we got back. he got bombarded on whatsapp, and then both of us were on the phone with our own friends, fixing nye plans, while collecting luggage. the evening we got back he had a friend visiting from japan whom he was rushing to meet, i had a friend over from australia to entertain. it feels kinda surreal now – it almost feels like a break-up. i think it fair to say we became the closest of friends during the trip, opinion-sparring (not actually a good idea when your ‘opponent’ is a law student), food-sharing, annoying each other and all that. and now, we’ve gone our separate ways and honestly, it makes me more than a little sad. i miss his company but i know if the trip was any longer the ‘annoyance’ level will go into unhealthy levels. rather bittersweet memories of a friendship than no friendship at all eh :p (shudders at the memory of exploring morocco).
shoutout to yyk: it was enghong who spotted your skyrim reference and insisted i ‘like’ it :)
