My best friend from primary school — we lost touch when I was sent away to boarding school in Cali. I guess I lost all his contact info through all the moving back and forth. I started looking for him when I got out of there and into university, and finally got in touch a few years back.

I was able to see him for the first time in almost 15 years last October on my trip to Hong Kong. He was playing in a band in a bar at Lan Kwai Fong. There, I was lucky enough to meet his girlfriend. They made a great couple. They got engaged shortly after I got back from the trip and got married last month.

Today I got news that they are expecting a baby. My how time flies! I remember the last few conversations I had with him before I was sent away — they were about self…ehem…discovery. I can’t believe that he’s put his experiences into good use so soon!

I’m truly happy for him. Congratulations Andrew.
