I met up with my gang of 3 girls from JC for dinner on Monday.
It was supposed to be a very belated birthday celebration for 3 of us: Myself (Oct), WM (Aug) and HX (Nov)..
Dinner was at this Marche-style Japanese restaurant at Raffles City.
As usual, we were supposed to meet at 7pm but everyone was late. I reached at 630pm, went shopping at Marina Square and ended up being late as well.. how stupid.. -_-
And as usual, HX was the latest, cause she had gone to the hairdresser to dye her hair. During the course of our 2 hour dinner and after, we updated each other on our lives and i found out the following:
- HX resigned from her Japanese company and now she can't find a job
- WM's 7 months pregnant now, and it's a boy. They're gonna name him Justas @ "Disciple of God"
- AB is earning S$5K a month. I think she's been dying to let everyone know how much she earns for like the longest time.. = )
- AB was sharing with us this called the "5 Languages of Love". Each of us is supposed to have one dominant language of love. K and I both went to take the quiz and realized that both our dominant love language is "Words of Affirmation". Interesting.. So now K and I are experimenting with our new found love languages...
What irks me more is the fact that HX didn't even hesitate when we offered to pay for her share.. Anyway, i didn't dwell very much on that, just paid my share and left..
Oh well..

wow. i don't think i have ever talked salary with my friend in that context. the only time was when i worked at shin kushiya and was grossly underpaid. so i was complaining to my ex-colleagues.
I always thought that people will only share when it's low pay and not when their pay is high out of embarrassment or modesty. so your friend is unique!
