the ceiling was low. the fans were useless. it was warm. it was crowded.
6 friends were sitting arnd a smaller-than-normal mahjong table, drinking home-made lipton peach tea, playing mahjong, talking abt crap and teasing a fat girl.
they took turns to play to keep everyone entertained as 2 of them were falling aslp. in the backgrnd, music was playing from the heated-up sony ericsson phone. the fat girl (owner of the phone) who was sitting beside the phone constantly shuffled the music to make sure each playing song pleased the ear drums of her friends. the shuffling of the tiles was louder than the music but she was still singing away.
she may be fat, and she may look bored/tired, but she was happy. happy being with friends she loves. it was jus a simple gathering, but she was contented. she knew all of them will be her friends forever, and she knew nobody regretted going to the house.
she laughed at every single joke her friends made abt her. she liked it. she likes her friends to make fun of her. and she knows, the day they dont, is the day they arent her friends anymore.
that night, as usual, her friends listened to all her stories. one complaint she repeated 6 times. but he let her cont. they all know she loves telling stories. and she appreciates them a lot. she knows they care. and she hopes this simple communication btwn them can last forever.
sometimes, she feels she is doing too much of the talking and she wishes to know more abt her friends. but her friends will always be interrupted. and they know, she is jus like that.
a few hrs passed by, the leather sofa she was sitting on made her feel v uncomfortable and warm. she grumbled and she asked for more drinks and some food. was offered a yam thingie from taiwan, and she ate it, with more grumblings following aft cus it made her feel bloated.
in contrast, her gd fren liked it. and she gobbled down 2. she looked pleased and appreciated their friend's offer.
it seems like the fat girl will nv appreciate pple, will she?
but she does.
she appreciates her gd fren (skinny girl) cutting the mac hotcakes for her. it was nicely-cut, coated with maple syrup, before it was served into the fat girl's mouth.
she appreciates her gd fren (fat boy) sending his friends (fat girl/skinny girl/skinny boys) home everytime aft a late night out.
she appreciates her gd fren (another skinny boy) letting them stay over and play mahjong everytime.
she does.
