我買了Scoot的特價機票，HK$4260來回澳洲，不過起飛時間好恐佈，我3am起床、4am的士開車、5am到香港機場、7am起飛、11am到新加坡機場，痴線架！希望之後的澳紐行無咁顛……（當然事與願違）

 

能在新加坡轉機，正常人都嫌麻煩，但我卻引頸期待，只因‧有‧人‧想‧見～！

小學時，我與嘉欣是青梅竹馬，但她移民去了新加坡，我們一直寫信聯繫，近年在fb尋回對方，時隔十幾年，今次終於可以見面了，好開心！

 

嘉欣高高瘦瘦、白白淨淨，一付美人胚子，她的樣子十年無變，只是手腳拉長了，重遇故人，十年時光驚掠，感覺奇妙。

 

當天新加坡陽光普照，下機後我與嘉欣即到Coney Island漫步談心，明明我一夜沒睡，竟也有精力行行行，神奇～！

 

新加坡得天獨厚，陽光燦爛，氣候怡人，我們走在公園內，滿眼翠綠，加上藍天，簡直是完美外景，我不停拉着嘉欣影影影，多謝這位耐心模特～

 

我們又聊起近況，原來嘉欣一來新加坡，就重讀了一年，後來考入師範，還去了西安做交換生，現職中學中文老師，來年結婚，並已置業，衷心祝賀她！

 

我畢業後好幾個月都宅在家，嘉欣笑道：「做咩係屋企做飯團呀？」

嘉欣不愧是老師，什麼也為我安排了：「你，食飯！沖涼！睡覺！」

我行來行去找廁所，被嘉欣發現了，她扁嘴道：「佢又行嚟行去唔瞓覺」

我碌來碌去沒睡好，乾脆起床，嘉欣喜道：「哇，你好叻呀，唔駛鬧鐘都醒到！」

 

哎喲，怎麼回到了幼稚園／小學準則了！？

別人何時認識我，對我的印象，總會停留在那時；嘉欣幼時識我，還當我是幾歲大……

嗯，當了一回小孩，也很有趣啦～

 

我在新加坡只匆匆待了十小時，很高興見到了嘉欣爸、嘉欣媽、還有嘉欣的未婚夫Simon，我們一起在新加坡食好嘢：椰皇、烤餅、咖喱、炒飯、芝士斑蘭蛋糕、炸豆腐……正呀！！謝謝：）

 

嘉欣媽與我媽是舊識，伯母也是十年如一日，外貌完全無變，駐顏有術，美魔女啊～！！

伯母見到我仲開心過我見到佢，伯母發現我吃飯時少碰炒飯、炸物等油膩嘢，笑說：「你同你媽真係一樣，你媽煮嘢清淡，仲要用滾水燙砧板嘛～」

全中！好友即使分隔異地，多年無見，日常小事卻還歷歷在目，母親大人真有個好朋友呢，但願人長久，千里共嬋娟啊。

 

 

I bought a Scoot special price flight ticket, super cheap. Just HK$4260 Hong Kong－Australia, two ways. But the departure time is crazy. I got up at 3am, got in a taxi at 4am, arrived in the Hong Kong airport at 5am, took off at 7am and arrived in Singapore airport at 11am. Just CRAZY!!

I only hope the Australia+New Zealand trip won’t be as crazy as this… (Of course my wish didn’t be granted)

 

A normal passenger would probably don’t like the idea to wait in Singapore for half day before flying to Australia. But I was the exceptional. I am looking forward to go to Singapore because I want to meet someone!

KaYan was my best friend 10+ years ago. But she and her family migrated to Singapore when we were in primary school. We kept writing letters and we found each other on facebook in recent years. I am finally going to meet her in Singapore after decades, very looking forward and happy!!

 

KaYan was tall and slim with healthy pale skin. She was, and still are, a beautiful bonita 10 years ago and now. 10 years flew through me when I met my childhood friend again, amazing!

 

Singapore was sunny. We went to Coney Island for a long walk right after landing. I was amazed I still have energy to walk despite I didn’t sleep much last night.

 

The park was beautiful. Green trees and blue sky made a perfect setting for photos. I kept dragging KaYan for posing and thanks for her patience：）

 

KaYan repeated an academic year when she first came to Singapore. She then got into a college for teachers and even be an exchange student in Xi'an, China. She was a Chinese teacher in secondary school now. And she is going to get marry next year and even bought an apartment. Truly congratulations!

 

I just stuck at home for months after graduation. KaYan laughed and said, ‘Oh, why do you sticking at home and be a rice-ball?’

KaYan was really a teacher and she did arrange everything for me, ‘You, Eat! Take a shower! Go to bed!’

KaYan saw me wondered around for a bathroom and she said, ‘Oh, she keep walking around and didn’t sleep…’

I didn’t sleep well so I just got up and she said, ‘Wow, you did well! You can wake up yourself without an alarm clock!’

 

Oh, how did we back to Kindergarten / elementary school standard!?

The perception to me seemed to depend on when did people know me. Kayan knew me when I was a kid and she still saw me as a kid…

Um, it was kind of fun to be a kid for once…

 

I only stayed in Singapore for a rush 10 hours. I am happy to meet KaYan’s parents and her fiancé Simon. We ate good: Coconut, naans, curry, fried rice, cheese pandan cake, fried tofu… yummy! Thanks：）

 

My mum and KaYan’s mum were old friends. Aunt looked exactly like 10 years ago. Amazing!!

Aunt seems even happier than I when she saw me. She noticed that I didn’t eat much oily food and said in a smile, ‘You are exactly like your mum. Your mum cooks light food and she even cleans the chopping board with hot boiling water!’

She is 100% correct! Daily small details stayed forever for old friends even separated by ocean. My mum really had a good friend and I am happy for her：）
