Squareface @ 31°North

There are times when an acquaintance offers you just what you need at the precise moment that you instantly embrace her as a friend.

I guess I remember help provided best when it’s given in the form of food. Today, close to 2am, just when I was starving and trying to think what I can possibly eat when my food stock is close to depletion due to my impending departure, my housemate knocks on my door and serves me a rice bowl with teriyaki chicken.

Succulent skinless thigh meat atop 2 spoons of cooked chinese rice garnished with her parents’ restaurant’s teriyaki sauce. Just the way I like it:

1) chicken thigh meat, with

2) lesser rice than meat.

(I would have said 3) skinless, but I love chicken skin. She removed it for my cholesterol’s sake :S)

She has just proven that she knows me better than friends who know me for eons. And that I haven’t been as keen an observer/carer as her.

I was touched by a simple gesture tonight.
