Friends United

Reading strangers' blogs can be inspiring. Here, i mean blogs from ordinary pple not famous bloggers like Mr Brown, Miyagi, Xiaxue or Rockson. I always have that feeling that their blogs are meant for some reason, could be for fame or pure attention seekers. If they are reading my blog, they can correct me if i am wrong.

I came across this blogger who made some interesting comment.

I think I just missed the past.. I can imagine I am in the future missing the present now.. I can imagine me in the future meeting my uni frenz again.. in a dinner.. maybe at my house warming… putting my arm over my buddy.. saying, “seeing your face again is so good” with gratitude and appreciation and also tear in my eye..

I got to agree with what this person has said. When i met up Meiling a few weeks ago, i had the same feeling that he had. We gave each other a hug, cos it has been a very long long time since we met. It was a big surprise. Not only her, seeing Zhongsheng was another unbelieveable stint. ha.... The feeling was good.

To me, friends are equally impt. They are part of our life too. I have been betrayed yet i still put faith in them. I always remember the good old days. Days that we share our memories, dreams and careers. I wish to keep things simple but it just somehow turn otherwise. The bad days that we suffered, the good days that we celebrated. They are still in my memories.

Though it is impossible, I will still like to say this.. “I will like time to stop here, so all of us can have a chance to totally understand and appreciate each other infinitely”

Yup. If tat could happen, i would love it too. At least, i wont grow old so fast. Still 25? remember? haha... It is true tat we should have more time to understand and to appreciate the presence of others. As time pass, we changed and move on. We become more family oriented. Social circle narrowed to you, wife/husband n kids. There is nothing wrong with that.

But i personally believe we should maintain a few good friends. MM Lee and Mr Rajaratnam were very close friends even though Mr Raja can no longer remember MM Lee. The pain when Mr Raja can no longer recognise MM. Look at their half a century kind of friendship.

Like my father, he has a very close friend. At this very age, he keeps in touch with him and even went on a cruise holiday. That is the kind of thing that i would like to achieve even when i am in my 70s or 80s. Looking back on our younger days would make us laugh till our heads off. ha...

Cherish wat we have right now. I will always remember pple who have helped me along the way!
