Friends
This is my second blog in less than 24 hours. This is how bored I am. I should be preparing for my chem. And physics tests which I’ll most probably be having next week. I just realized that all my blog entries lately are more to comical highlights of my daily life and totally ignoring certain issues that are actually bothering me. My initial reason for blogging was so that I can express myself better with words and all I have been doing is drawing stick-men to express what I had gone through. A clear evidence on how I always side track and never achieve whatever I intend to do.
Friends. Do you still remember those primary school days where we’d actually categorize them in two main groups, “friend” and “best friend” (neglect those who u “don friend”)? Yeah I do. I still remember how I used to fill autograph books and actually had one or two best friends. Anyway, as I grew bigger and older, I learnt that there is no such thing as a one “best friend” but there are close friends. What I am trying to say here is there is no ONE friend u can tell everything and anything to and expect him or her to turn the world around for you and that you will be friends until the day you die. There is just no such thing. We’ll have to accept the fact that friends come and go.
However, there are close friends which you click with, share the same “wave length”, or just comfortable being around them. I had a group of close friends back in Kuching. We organized camps, went for beach trips, made stupid movie clips (We spoofed Matrix and filmed our own, Matrix Reformatted! It was so stupid that I think people who watched it were not laughing at the jokes but at our foolishness.) and played football every week (we even had a team which played with some seniors every Friday afternoon). Even studying for SPM was fun with my group of friends. Library was like a playhouse. We stayed in the library for 3 hours and probably really studied for only one hour, the balance was used up for trash talking and sometimes some strategy for our football game.
Now that school days are over and college days begin, close friends are separated. Now the only close friends that are still around are Champton and Nai Chen. They don’t study in Taylor’s but Champton sleeps over at my house every weekend (and help take out the trash) and I see Nai Chen on Thursdays sometimes. I feel very lucky I can still have 2 of my closest friends around at this part of my life where most people will feel most lonely. Either way, I also know there’ll be a time where we won’t be able to have constant meetings, tell stupid jokes and diss one another anymore. Moral of the story, cherish what you have now before you can only look back in time and all you could do is miss them.
