It was truly a sign of her loyalty to our friendship that she did not completely mock me for forgetting to bring work pants when I slept over two nights ago and ended up having to have her drive me to my place in a formal top and pajama bottoms so I could change properly for work.

Though she did giggle a little. But I guess thats allowed, given the hilarious sight of me =)

Its a sign of my housemate's patience that on the morning we both woke up late for work, she rushed herself unneccesarily for me to reach work early.

And I did.

It was also another sign of his friendship that he could tolerate such a tantrum and vent from me without thinking any less of me.

He even paid for my mango sunrise and everyone knows he hates paying if he doesnt have to =)

It was a sign of my parents infinite patience with us that they agreed to watch High School Music 3 last night. It was the 'premiere' (ooohh...aahhhh :) ) in Brunei. The cinema was packed with families and teenagers alike last night. Hilarious. My mom swore she was the oldest in queue haha.

While my brothers and sister in law and I cracked up, my parents were confused at the random teenagers bursting into song.

But they enjoyed themselves anyway.

Its the little things in life, sometimes, that matter.
