the cuff link connection

i had a prearranged rendezvous with 2 friends to do a short shopping spree to hunt for an extra pair of cuff link yesterday afternoon as i had gotten some new french cuff shirts recently.  

it was an interesting meet-up, and after dinner 1 of them left.  we went for a drink and engaged in a "interesting" topic.  we had pretty good laughs about a game we conjured up, where we were tantalizing each other in order to fish out the required information.  i think the 2 of us were pretty boisterous in the cafe.  

later into the night, i suggested chilling out at some drinking pubs. my friend, surprisingly complied, despite the fact that he is used to going to bed early.

over our beer pints, we started candid exchanges of opinions on a variety of matters.  perhaps, due to the  alcohol-induced relaxing mood, we, the 2 introverts, started opening up ourselves to each other and chatted till almost 3am! i think both of us had had a good time, though i'm sorry about the location of the pub as it brought back unpleasant memories for my friend.

i had not done anything crazy like this for a long while.  i'm glad for this meet-up tonight, and from our conversations i believed that we shared more sentiments and perspectives in common, or so it seems. though we knew each other for like over 2 years, we were nothing more than just mere acquaintances until recently.

i wonder if such event will ever happen again.  hopefully our serendipitous friendship can take off from here.
