So, with less than two months to go, I sent a shout out to my friends, saying "I'm coming!". These are the poor souls who are going to give up their bed, bathroom, and couch for the few days Jerrain and I are over.
Friend #1: SereneCountry: Britain
Where did we meet: Singapore Management University
How did we meet: Christian Fellowship
Friends since: Sept 2001
She went to Coventry to do her Masters last October, and I have been dying to go visit her. Now that she has started dating someone there, my girlies have entrusted me with the mission to check out who this lucky guy is. I heard he is a good cook, but I promise I will not be bought over with just some fancy home-cooked food.
Friend #2: NorieCountry: France
Where did we meet: Singapore Airlines
How did we meet: Worked together in the HR dept
Friends since: August 2005
A French man swept her off her feet and stole her from us in 2006. Having visited her in Paris three years ago, I can see why she left her friends behind. Joel, her hubby, is the most charming and caring guy. He showed us around and even whipped up an authentic four course French meal! I promised Norie I will go back to visit her, so it is about time.
Friend #3 (and #4): Chris and ØyvindCountry: Norway
Where did we meet: New York
How did we meet: Along the corridor of Jazz Hostel
Friends since: July 2009
My first taste of Norway and I am hooked. These crazy dudes made me fall in love with New York over and over again. Met them the first night I arrived, and we hung out every night till they had to leave. If Norwegians are all like these two, I am sure it is going to be a blast. They are the reason why I am spending almost a third of my time up North!

Hey Kel, nice to see we made it into the top 3 on the friends list! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs that the proposal picture by the way? That was funny, and I really wish we had proper rings to offer too :P
Can't wait to show you around up here, I know it's going to be awesome!
Hi Kel, Gav is perfecting his cooking skills now to buy you over... haha..i'm kidding. But seriously don't have too high expectations ok.. We'll do our best to bring you to the most beautiful places and countrysides of England! And maybe enjoy a cup of nice English tea and scones too... Looking forward to see you soon!!!
ReplyDelete@Oyvind: It was hilarious. My first two proposals! In New York, from two Norwegians, how strange! You guys are weird. I like! ;)
ReplyDelete@Serene: I love countrysides! I just want to catch up with you girl! *hugz* And if it involves tea and scones, even better! Thanks for offering your place.
