The Definition of Close Friends

Oh my. The Chalet. I would never forgive myself if I didn't document that! It was meant to be an EXCO '14 '15 party. So everyone in this year's and the upcoming EXCO of my CCA (which is 16 people altogether) were supposed to turn up. Obviously seeing as it required an overnight stay at a rather ulu place i.e. Changi, only 10 showed up. And of the 10, only 6 stayed overnight. Which is a sad turn out, and makes for a rather terrible celebration. Or at least, that's what I thought at first. But honesty, it was brilliant!

It's just something about sharing a house with your friends that makes any experience infinitely exciting. To be honest, I wouldn't call what happened exciting, but it was exactly what I needed. It was unwinding time. We didn't do a dozen activities and golf and surf and swim and...you get the picture. We were just lazing around watching chick-flicks and playing card games and twister and dance central and mostly, just talking, and I loved every minute of it. It was sort of charming and it chased away every worry I'd had (which have come back now by the way).

I think that's how you define close friends. When you can spend time with someone doing practically nothing, and still enjoy it and love every second...I think that's what a close friend should be. When you can sort of just feel happy in the companionship and the comfortableness (is that even a word). By that definition, I probably have about 9 extremely close friends (I've three other friends with whom I've spent countless of these "lazy day outs"). Yeah, I think that's pretty good. I feel happy. Or rather, secure. Or content? Ugh, definitions. Most goddamn confusing things on Earth.
