Affinity

(20th March, Fri)

[I was in the midst of writing my winter post and it's taking too damn long.]

On this day we went for dim sum buffet at Bright Courtyard Club. Haha me and buffets don't normally go well together, but for the sake of har gows, which I haven't seen in over a year, I went for it. It was really good although I left feeling like I wouldn't have to eat over the next few days. [For the record, I had just fruits for dinner and am hungry at this time of writing.] So many legit large prawns! These are not easy to come by (and "king prawns" here are like what we know to be normal-sized prawns pfft). And I didn't expect how much I'd come to like the liu sha bao. I've eaten from a few places in sg but always disliked the overpowering salted egg yolk taste. This version (like I told the rest), felt more like a butter sugar pao xD. I had 5 of them. Totally worth the £16.50 total cost.

But that's not even the main point of this post. The main point was this:

Which was the mango dessert I had after I was beyond 100% full. The reason this is significant is because of this:

At probably the exact same time I was scarfing down the mango dessert to rush back to class, a certain group of girls was having (mostly) mango desserts back home. Coincidence? I think not. This kind is an affinity that somehow naturally develops over 10 years of sisterhood, a proof of bonds. The number of times a year we meet at full strength can be counted with one hand (plus minus a finger or 2), but every time it's like nothing has changed.

Haha, I've seen a few diff versions of the same pictures on insta, so I thought I'd do my own. This post is dedicated to you girls, my 姐妹们! Miss you all, but we'll be at full strength again soon, 等我回来! :)
