being here in japan... had given us plenty of opportunity to meet new people... and make new friends...
and also the opportunity... to meet friends from home... whom we have not met for a very long time...
as the year end holidays are here... we have been having a constant flow of friends visiting tokyo... and so... lots of catching up... nice.. =)
we just caught up with hubby's secondary school pal and his wife... just 2 days ago... spent the day with them at asakusa... akihabara... and then decided to do dinner as well... so hubby and i headed off home to pick the gals up...
and at the dinner table... and esp at the dessert place... i noticed that the gals were able to carry themselves very much..!
they were sharing their experiences in the local school here... about the recent school play that they had... then rachelle went on to share more about her camp... about how they are allowed to use dangerous tools on their own...
looking at them converse... i couldnt help but swell with pride... the gals have not met the couple before... maybe once... along the streets back home...
i remembered how shy the gals used to be... especially in front of strangers... when introduced... they usually would shy away... and even if they spoke... there would be minimal eye contact... and with a very soft and weak voice...
guess this one-year exposure has made them more open... and also the short trip to perth... all these experiences have enriched them... i believe... =)
