Having a bestie can make the best and worst time of a girl’s life. I used to have one when I was 14 and it lasted for a decade. We were alike in a lot of ways, shared the same interests and went everywhere together (we even coordinated our outfits when we went out). Little did I expect that there would be chances she would take off with my then-bf (of 4 years). I never held grudges (I felt more relieved to be out of a lousy relationship) but it was just awkward to be hanging out again. Since then, I always had the notion that BFFs are supposed to be like her (another me). Not until I realised the becoming of one, lately. We’re completely different from each other. She’s ten years my junior, single and very available. At some point, I realised that this one will always be there for me. And she had been for the past year and made some truly sweet gestures. And she’s always putting others’ needs before hers. The thing that touched me especially was this gorgeous vintage kitchen scale she got me for my birthday even though I don’t bake for now (cos the oven hasn’t been fixed) but she knew I’d go gaga over anything vintage.

Anyway it triggered me to try no-bake recipes like the Batik Cake I got from therareone. Easy peasy and nice!
