(Not so) Old Friends!





Winter break came. And with it came a surprise!  The girls knew "something" was happening but they didn't know what the specific visitor would be. So when little Sophie showed up at Eva's house it was a delight for all of them. For three full days the girls enjoying the company of good friends (as did their parents, not pictured here) as if they were still in Kuala Lumpur. But instead of walking down the KLCC park, or hanging out in Ampang, they were walking down the sidewalks of JBR and/or Arabian Ranches.  A visitor who knew these girls in their previous hangouts would have to do a double take to place the people in the location. 

But to the girls - with the exception of that first few minutes where they have to reacquaint themselves - it didn't matter where they were. In the car they sang, and giggled, and were told time and time again to "use your inside voice". In the street they held hands as if they were inseparable. There was a buzz that their unification created. It was the buzz of youth being happy. It was the buzz of enthusiastic children sharing experiences. It was the buzz of life. It was a buzz that the parents shared too, albeit with a more calm demeanor. 

Sophie. Please come back whenever and and often as you like!  And bring your parents with you!  :-)
