Spur of the Moment Reunions

Tweet

During the Christmas holidays, college friends and I agreed that we would get together on January 2nd. But on January 1st, I tripped and fell, so it did not push through. After moving the date several times since then, I was surprised when they said we're meeting today. I told them to go ahead because I have things to do first. I arrived 1.5 hours late, so I ate the leftovers. Hahaha! They thought I was never going to show up, so I'm glad I ignored my tiredness and spent money on a taxi to get there because we had another great time talking, laughing, sharing, joking and taking pictures until 8.30pm. Our first reunion in June last year was also 'biglaan' (spur of the moment; on short notice) and before we parted tonight, the plan was potluck and karaoke at someone's house next Sunday. Have you ever had impromptu get-togethers with family, relatives, old friends, classmates or co-workers that turned out well even if it's just to eat and reconnect? Does the food and venue matter? I love how we happened to all be available today and just seized the opportunity again. The original choice for this meet-up was a Japanese and Korean buffet that some of us were unfamiliar with, but abruptly changed to an easy-to-find pizza place. Now that I think about it, we would probably be less lively and not allowed to linger too long if we were at the Asian buffet.
