Hi-Bye friends: A tribute to some :)
Our whole life is a revolving door of buddies and friends that we spend time with, cherish, and brave the tough times together. Some friends may be closer to you than others, coz such friends base the relation upon trust, freedom, and the ability to connect spiritually and intellectually. Trust, something that friends should have, trust in thought and action, where friends keep loyal and never cheat/lie. Trust can create a conducive environment for friends to confide in one another and really get to know each others' character.
Freedom is what friends need too, freedom of thought, speech and action. It wouldnt be nice if a friend had to keep accomodating/restraining his/her actions just to fit the likings/disilkes of another friend, that would be a strained and unnatural friendship. That would be a mirror image of urself. I believe that friends are about being urself, and liking that special unique person for who he is, and admiring his/her qualities. The ability to connect spiritually and intellectually can really provide a source of communication or interest, which can develop into further friendship levels. Friends should also not be chosen by likings/dislikings, or by looks. We should never judge a book by its cover, as what's underneath may really unravel into a lovely story.
Thus with this basic definition of friends, im faced with a scenario of hi-bye friends. It sometimes is abit saddening to see that happening, as friends should be more than just two words. Probably its the fact that we have too many friends to really get to know and chat well with each and everyone of them, but ... friends reduced to two words? hmm... It could be blamed on the fact that when friends are seen with other friends, we shy away and are embarrassed of talking to them for long or really expressing our thoughts when in a group, or afraid that we might embarrass them unknowingly and strain the relation. Or it could be that we're in a rush and juz pass a sweeping 'hi' and 'bye' just for acknowledgement. Hmm... nothing beats the friends u make in a class yea... :) Sometimes that feeling of: ahh i see a friend! i wanna go up to talk to him/her... but after initial 'hellos', the convo ends up stale with them having to go somewhere else or something...
sometimes we really get that urge to strike a conversation, but back down as we dont know what their reaction may be...or shy away in fear of embarrassing ourselves with rejection. This is especially true for relationships. But nevertheless, a nice warm smile and a super-cute 'heylo!' is still needed to give that little warm welcome msg of appreciation in others hearts, and it can really put a returning smile on their face and brighten their day. A pat on their shoulder would bolster encouragement and give them more faith that friends are by their side ready to brave thick and thin together :)
Okay now this paragraph will be dedicated to our beloved ex-member of 34/04, ERIC! With you in the class, the day would never be boring, as you always had never-ending excitnig and interesting jokes to tell. You always seemed so lively and active, and not to mention your cheeky wide-smile which would always induce laughter. You could just socialise so well, and i guess we understood each other rather well too, thus you are really one of my goodest friends! You would try to reason ur way and through that ur actions sometimes abit blur loL! very funny... you also have a strong sense of yi4 qi4, and you're loyal to ur friends, willing to help them in what ways you can. But you, like me, can be indecisive too! so... yea our characters match abit. Well, here's a tribute to two others who have left our class, cindy and hwee xian, the cute lovely duo - hao3 jie3 mei4, how are u doing? The class misses u too!! and not to mention kay yin and yi ting, who was here in the beginning of the year but left very soon. And another 'cheers' to all my goodie best friends out there in AJC, and in 34/04, Yijun, sky... and all my TCHS friends, you rock! you're everything i can fall back on, rock on!
A special request by eric: to commerate the stoner's club!! Consisting of me, sky, eric, yijun, and youjun, our brothers! Here's a tribute to all the stoning times we've spent together stoning in stonable lessons, and laughing at the durability of our stonability. I remember earlier in the year, i was like super stone, could just sit through the whole lesson and stare into blank air. :D We are all a bunch of dreamy dreamers, with flighty thoughts high up in the clouds, and deep passion lol... abit qua1 zhang1? :P But yea, we enjoyed ourselves together and went out often too, a true cliche, ill never forget ya guys! keep in contact, love ya'll!!!
Oh ya and there's one person id like to say hello too, we lost contact for a long time, and that guy is desmond hong. Known him for like god noes how long, a real nice guy when u really know him. In primary sch we had so much fun together, you were so active and cheerful and fun to play with... really enjoyed those times we joked and played with each other, got into troubles together, and wad not. Cya ard fren, all the best in wadeva u do. Friendships remain unbroken by time :)
