We started this blog sometime ago but the necessary mechanics of life got in the way - school for Hemant and work for Rachel - and our little pet project fell by the wayside. What was originally our get-rich-quick scheme made us 40cents the month before it met its uneventful death.
Here’s a brief history on our friendship:
Before Hemant knew Rachel he really had’nt many friends and had just finished secondary school where he was pretty badly teased and bullied by his uncultured and plebian ethnic Chinese schoolmates (i.e., the bEngZ and LiaNz). He carried around a heavy shell that he was working to break out of… and along come Rachel with a giant hammer!
The first time they had agreed to meet, Rachel kept Hemant waiting 3 hrs with the excuse that she broke her a bracelet on the way out of the house and had to pick up the beads to mend it again. Then she indiscreetly pestered Hemant a million times throughout the rest of the day if he were gay. It came to a point where her tenacity outlasted his patience so Hemant caved in and proclaimed, “YES! Gosh this is getting annoying!” To which she beamed and said, “OMG I’ve always wanted a gay best friend.” Hemant has rarely denied it since.
Then:
Now:
Since then, their dinner and clubbing dates have seen them making so many more friends, chatting up random people.
Along the way they chanced upon Joseph Murray (otherwise known as Joey) - who, incidentally, happens to be a new contributor to Fullofballs.com! Joey was hopelessly ambling Orchard Road looking for fruits (Orchard… Fruit orchard?) as he was suffering from a sever fibre-defiency when he saw Rachel and Hemant rolling condoms onto bananas, doing a sex-ed class outside Orchard Towers for the SPGs, and since then, he’s been hooked (on bananas, not fake accents and spray-on tans).
Joey prefers to be known as Joey because Joseph is way too biblical and reminds him of his altar boy days in a certain boys’ school. Priests, stay away!
