friends?

5hrs of discussion and editing with the NM proj pple passed quickly, not least due to the fact i really quite like 2 of the 4 present, and given the level of communication and chemistry we've all achieved thus far. 

based on the 1st impression alone , i would gladly have chosen them if given the choice again. looks and the way one speaks is sufficient to judge someone considerably at the initial stage, after u've met ur fair share of failed friendships (ok, not exactly failures la, haha).

now i realise that hall life isn't all it's made up to be, at least for me. i guess it's all abt immersing yourself in an environment where u feel at ease with yourself and others, one conducive to the making of true friendships. time spent and proximity seriously isn't a factor. 

i consider ginny and linky friends whom i'm truly comfortable with and who knows the real me quite well. and i just knew them like.. last june for only 3 weeks? the weekly tennis lessons does help alot, tho.

and let's not forget glad and lalaa (yes, you! haha), both through the ballroom dance course last may. like i was telling jr over msn, i figure my preference is towards knowing pple with whom I have no mutual acquaintances, the latter including those i'm not exactly on good terms with. 

one gets the chance to start on a fresh slate, both knowing each other with no prior knowledge or expectations, all of which is nothing less than.. refreshing. i'm loving it.
