I had lunch with a childhood friend whom I hadn't seen since we were teenagers. We went to the same university, but I never saw her there! Well, I did see her at a department store once, but I was getting my makeup done, so I couldn't really talk...

But we found each other on Facebook, and we work really close to one another.

She is doing really well, and spending $$ like I would love to! She goes shopping a lot and has a lot of nice, expensive things. She never eats at home! (Well, she never cooks.)

Our parents used to play mahjong together when we were kids, and we'd hang out. Chinese parents in my generation (I don't know how it is now) never hired babysitters. Kids always went wherever they went. On occasion, grandparents would help out. So I met her when we were 9 or 10. There was one summer where we got together a lot even if our parents weren't playing mahjong. We watched a lot of Small Wonder. Those were good times!

It was good to see her! We did some catching up. She hasn't really changed much (personality-wise, that is). I'm sure we'll get together again.
