Summer Chats

In London, summer holiday is almost over...

Alma and I had been on the phone quite a lot this summer. Things we talk about? making and amending plans, constructive or sometimes creative talks, relating to each other's daily events, be it major or minor, or simply some regular, healthy but insignificant women’s gossips.


We were on the phone for 5 straight hours 2 weekends ago. Other times, we would speak for at least 1 or 2 hours. Yeah, I too, was very surprised I was able to be on the phone for such a long stretch of time, since long hours had always been my struggle.

We often speak around 4:00am, Singapore time; which is also 9:00pm, London time. Thanks to my newly-revamped bedtime hours.

Of course, we aren’t always able to do this. There are times whereby I wish to sleep in a little more or that she was totally drained from her day schedule.

In whichever case, all these talks had been as therapeutic to me, as my usual writing times. Afterall, women talk to de-stress.

It’s amazing how we had come so far with just phone calls, texts and emails. I’m so pleased to know we are still staying on the same page and speaking the same language, after all these years.

All the best to our plans - Plans that are in action, plans that are in the queue, plans that are in the process, plans that are happenning and plans that are still brewing... :)
