Chapter 6 : Celebrating Theba's Graduation & restaurants

   There are many reasons to call your bestie to go out just for a meal. It can be for catching up. It can be for company. But having a good meal after her graduation is a must in the list. Theba graduated from Singapore Poly like two days ago. It was a good occasion.

I remember my own pathetic graduation night where I had to return camp. I applied for day off with my 2LT from Delta then. Let things not be like this. And the worst was, I did not even invite my parents for my graduation. Baddy right? I will definitely do the proper protocol when it comes to Bachelor's Graduation. :)

Coming back to the topic. One lesson to learn. Whenever you are choosing a restaurant, don't always go for the name. There might be a whole many outlets with the same brand. But how sure are you, that the same quality of food is assured every where. Prices are so exorbitant nowadays.

Lucky us, We got this 'Lenus'  restaurant next to Manhattan Fish Market at Bugis. The ambience was cosy. We immediately got our seating changed when we requested even though it was nearing peak hour, all thanks to this waitress, 'Moon'. Not only that, talking about the quality of the food. I would have to say, it was above standards. We capped it at 53 dollars including service/GST. But trust me for such nice experience, wholly two hours and nice food, plus good service, above standards it is.

Theba is exiting her poly life and she is entering a new arena. Life is getting very busy, tie-ing down many of us. Our days end so fast. I just wish her all the best for this new phrase. God knows when will be the bachelor's graduation, this time with our hats!

Chapter 5: Keer

Ever heard of friendships that sustained throughout the years and yet as friends, they would have met only once. Ever knew what was real trust in a friendship that placed fortunes of love in it? I was touched by an online acquaintance in such a way.

Alaigal Vaalzhi nadantheine. Karaiyil Neeyum Irunthaaye.
Unnai santhitha ganame, naan ennukul koncham siritheinae.
Senthamizh vaasam seiyum penne neeye,
un elzhuthin vannathil ennai tholeithenae.
Aannaga en idayam koncham thudikkave,
paruva kaatrum appodhu veeseyathe.Valaigalilae vizhavillaye.
Vinnum natpae allikileiyile
Un Siripinil vilasikave, un manathil idam kollave.
Antha Nilavin oliyilae un kaviye ketha en sevigal
unnai endrum maravaathe kanmani,En Pavithara Keerthaname needhaanadi.Unthan Ninanaevaal en manam ponnunjal aada.naanum sirikindreinae, en pavithara keerthaname

Nee Endrum Mangalam kolladhe

Years, if you ask me the exact count will be six years. Ever since this acquaintance bloomed to a beautiful friendship and going strong. True Friends do come across. Trueness does exist. In my life, one such person who was one of my early chapters of truth is Keer, Kits Nisha.

Hey Keer,

If you are ever reading this, I would really love to let you know that when you added me in friendster back in 2005, I thought you were a passerby, who probably was out of boredom messaging me and spamming my wall. I really did not pay much attention. And all those times that you said, you will publish a book and definitely include my name in it, I thought nothing more of it than a joke. But you swept me off my feet when you did make true those words that you mentioned and how true your friendship started appearing to me.

All those crazy chats, with lots of smiles. Your Cat Eyes that you gave me for my birthday together with the rose themed birthday card with the envelope, Tears of Love, the bangle u gave me, the sweet poems that we shared under one moon at the merlion corner with the drizzle of waters splashing at ourselves, not knowing when we will meet again, everything was perfect when we were concerned, when our friendship was concerned.

Look at how these years went by. Connecting strong in far distance. I will never fail to cherish this part of life neither I believe will you. I am not playing silver tongue, I am writing from my heart.

My ego filled head bows and salutes at you lady, my heart wishes the well for you. We share the same raasi and natachatiram. That is definitely one of the interesting note I need to put it down. I really hope I will visit you in Klang. And I will never forget your beautiful chapter in my life.

Pure as Fire, Sweet as Keer

Nothing like You, No One like You.

Sincerely,
Kannan Thurairaj
