Lawyers have no friends?

That was what Stella concluded when we were trying to coordinate our lunch time for our meet-up at our favourite Taiwan porridge. Somehow, it becomes harder and harder for us to meet up as a group now that all of us are in different firms and have different schedules. No wonder Nicc agreed with Stella's comments almost immediately. Which brings to mind how I should thank my lucky stars for my dearest friends (annoyingly, some copycat seemed to have started using the phrase as well) who still tolerate my schedule and not leave me out altogether after being flown kite by me 101 times.. Sadly though, now that I've more of my life than the past year or so, I'm beginning to miss having dinners with friends like Weiguang etc.. How on earth did we meet up more often then for dinner? Hmm.. whatever the case, thanks for not giving up on me even when a whole lot of you probably know my office quite well and have at some time or other eaten with me in my room at GLC. Whatever will I do without you guys? Hmm..

Even putting aside how I was hardly ever able to meet up (save for the dinners in my office), I still admire my friends' ability to tolerate my blow-hot-blow-cold behaviour. 10 years ago, one of my closest friends was exasperated at how unpredictable I could get - one moment we were seemingly close friends and the next, I was horrendously withdrawn. The closer I am to a person, the more I would worry that I was becoming over-reliant on the person and the insecure me would simply swing to the other extreme quickly so that no one would realise my over-reliance. Fast forward 10 years, my insecurity is still ensuring that this peculiar trait remains rooted. In fact, whilst typing this, I'm still wondering if I annoyed another friend with my hot-cold behaviour again. If so, I'm really sorry. I'll try to make a conscious effort to keep that in check, though knowing me, it'll work only for a short while. So if any one finds my behaviour unbecoming, please don't hesitate to remind me, k?
