i ♥ the noise we make

I absolutely ♥ Wednesday May 19th because of a few reasons:

#1: I met up with a bunch of lovely peeps - the YouthQuakers

For those who are ill-informed, New Straits Times used to have a youth section named YouthQuake and I used to work as a stringer (part timer) there to write articles and stuff. Meeting up and talking/laughing/making noise with this bunch of people really brought back memories of what we've been through in those days (which was roughly SEVEN years ago).

#2: Inspiration

Hearing each other talk about our life's journey so far, we all seem to be heading towards a phase where we want to be able to give more to life. We're all in our late 20s and I realise as we head towards the unavoidable 30 we can look at it with dread or anticipation. Looks like, we're all starting to realise that our existence on earth can only be justified if we are able to contribute to society, to the people around us, we are after all, meant to live for so much more : )

What else can I say? I'm so thankful and blessed to have this set of friends. A group of people that after so many years, though we've travelled in different circles of life, are still able to laugh/talk/make noise like how we used to in the old YQ days : ) i pity Betty's Midwest Kitchen for the amount of noise pollution generated that night and Baskin Robbins for having to chase us out by rolling the shutter down AND turning off the lights :p

But it was a night well spent with some old friends. Mark, our favourite Vet, here's to a safe journey to the USA and know that even though the continents divide us, YQuakers will still find a way to unite and continue a friendship and kinship that I believe was not an accident.

i ♥ YouthQuake : )
