Unexpected Friendship: Abigail & Joyce

Our very first photo during SC Recruitment back in our freshie years.

Our most recent photo way back, when we had the best shiok maki and sashimi, it was goodness exploding in your mouth. And we wanted to have tim ho wan that day, but the waiting time was toooOOooOoooo long it was a joke (like the rarity of our meet ups)

So why am I writing this post. Because Abigail needs to know that she has friends around, and that she has to stop claiming that she is non-existent in my life. As for Joyce, if that homo of a lomo still reads my blog, thanks for keeping check on me :)

SO. 

1) How did I get to know them? What were my first impressions of them?

Abigail: Through a FOC subgroup that she wasn't in (haha). I had a really bad impression of her she knows this herself. Vulgar girl, so vulgar I didn't want to be friends with her. And she kept hanging out with the subgroup that she wasn't in. SUCH A VULGAR WANNABE.

Joyce: BAOC. Darling Joyce was the mascot for my orientation tribe and she danced to "Just the way you lie" (I think). IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL I ALMOST CRIED. Haha but she yes did dance really well, and I thought she was easy to talk with cos we were both from FOC.

2) How was my friendship like with them at the start?

Abigail: We both got into BAsociety together in Year 1. And our SCOs were always together, so we eventually stuck together too. And also I found out she was actually quite nice to talk to. Though it took me some time to get past the vulgar + always-tired image that she had. After which, we clicked really well, had stay overs, trials and Society events together. And she has been one my closest friend in poly ever since!

Joyce: We met up every Friday for lunches. I remember we would always go to Smooch cafe cos everywhere was too crowded. I don't know how we actually became closer and closer. We had more meals together, in school and outside. Went out with her for Strictly Pancakes once before. And yeah even though we weren't in any of the same CCAs, I could still talk to her really well!

3) How did we all come together?

I HONESTLY DON'T REALLY KNOW. They knew each other better through Red Camp 8. And then we would have suppers together with the supper gang (haha) and yeaaaah they both hit off really well and then tada, 3 of us started going out together! We had study dates, mostly study dates, random meal outings at Upp Thomson, supper and etc. And we talked about going to Uni of Queensland together, talked and talked. And I guess it's because we are all pretty similar easy going and talkative people that's why I really love their company. 

(Lol I don't know why am I phrasing everything like I'm in some interview when it's just me talking to myself. You better appreciate and love this post guys, I feel like a fool)

4) How were things over the past 2.5 years?

I am glad to have them even though we hardly ever meet as a whole. In a way, I got to see Abz more often cos we were in the same CCA and in the same circle of friends (BA girls huha). But the fact that we all stayed at the same area, made everything much more convenient for us to meet up. I can never feel awkward with them or alone with any of the two of them, even if we haven't met up for ages. Nevertheless, I am proud of them both. Proud that they've gone far in what they're passionate for and being actively involved in it :) I won't bother typing out a whole long paragraph of how good they are because I'm sure many people have told them about it so yes. Hahaha~ 

So yup, this is just a short post about my friendship with Abz and Joyce. Two girls who aren't in my course of study, yet my closest friends in Poly. And the fact that now we are all in our own different circle of commitments. It sometimes awes me how we can still get along well despite the long pauses in meeting up. I really hope that our friendship will continue because you girls have been such a joy in my life for the past 2.5 years. And you I guess going through the past 2.5 years with you girls was good, because we all could TRULY UNDERSTAND THE DEEP MEANING OF BEING TIRED AND TIED DOWN TO SCHOOL. Nevertheless, good job in braving it through the past few years, and yes I look forward to our UQ plans. If it doesn't happen, it's alright. We will continue to live on as three strong girls, single or not (hahhaahah). And may this friendship continue to grow into something new each day. Thank you for being part of my life, and being one of the few handful of friends that I will want to keep even after graduating. 

Oh and just so you know. I did a project on the two of them for my Social Psych project. It was about friendship. SO ARE YA TOUCHED NOW?
