Friday I'm in Love?

I don't really like Fridays. Not since I moved to this little town anyway. Hubby always works long hours on Fridays and I never seem to have classes and am mostly busy only in the first part of the day on Fridays. The rest of the day? I wait. I wait and wait. Wait for hubby to finish his shift so he can pick me up from the university. Sometimes I wait only a few hours, sometimes I have to wait many many hours. And it gets tiring you know? Imagine sitting in front of the PC non-stop for 4 hours without anyone to talk to. I mean, in real life that is. There's no one to talk to in real life. None of my friends have classes on Friday and they travel or do their own thing with family. So I'm alone. I stay at the university all alone with no one to talk to. OK - so maybe I can talk to the stranger next to me but what's the fun in that?

Back in KL Fridays were the best day to look forward to. It would be the day my girlfriends and I go out for our weekly dinner and listening to music/dancing. I don't know if any of the girls still go out for dinner on Fridays or not. After all, ever since we all started working and some of us getting married and moving away, the weekly outings became once in two weeks and then once a month and now.. hehe... now we only go out when all of us are back in KL. It's so much fun. We all get together and compare what each of us would be wearing. We'd put on our make-up together. Some putting make-up for others and then we'd all go in two cars or three to where we decided to go. Sometimes the guys would come along. Sometimes not. Then we'd have a huge dinner, gossip, laugh tease and catch up on the latest news. After dinner we'd either go to a coffee place or if the band at the place we were having dinner was any good, we'd stay and listen to them. So much fun!

I miss those days. Over here hubby and I only talk about going out to clubs and having dinner out. Most of the time it never materializes. We don't really know where to go. And we don't have any friends that share the same interest in dinner and dancing. And I think hubby associates the club as a pick-up place so he doesn't think it's necessary for us to go there anymore since we've found each other. So much for not changing even after marriage.

Anyway in other news. Sunshine my best friend has permanently moved back to Malaysia. And so it looks like I'm the only one in our group that's decided to live abroad. I really do wonder how long my friendship with Sunshine can last. I really hope that it'll last forever. Somehow I have faith in Sunshine. Wev'e gone through so much together and a lot of our lives are very similar. The only different thing about it now is that she's expecting a baby. But hey, apparently according to her I'm the only one out of the group that is interested in her pregnancy and so maybe it won't be one of those things that'll change our friendship? Well, you never know.

So, two hours to go before hubby is expected to finish his shift. Oh boy....
