Friends...

My JC classmate William is leaving for USA in August for university and today, I went out for dinner with him... I guess it sounds like a very early "farewell" dinner kind-of (1 month in advance) but I don't wanna deceive myself with the thought that I will definitely be able to catch him again before he really flies... with school starting soon and recruitment and AROC just round the corner, I do foresee a very hectic August...

But that's not the point... I just feel like saying some stuff...

It definitely isn't true that you find good buddies only in Secondary School. Even though JC is for 2 short years only, it's amazing how much fun we had together back then... And what really gets to me is that even though in the time of these 2 years since graduation, we haven't been in touch as often as both of us had hoped for, it's still that easy to relate to each other, and relive those wacky moments in JC...

Perhaps this is really friendship? Perhaps friendship isn't just about always keeping in touch, always chatting on the phone, always meeting up... Perhaps friendship is about still being able to connect even after a time of absence... that even after not seeing each other for months, upon meeting, no one feels uncomfortable or feels like we're all such strangers...

I won't say I'm the kind of person who is good at keeping in contact with people... and perhaps it would seem that I would rather move on and not keep up with the past... but to all those out there who matter to me (you know who you guys are), know this that you will always remain a friend in my heart and that I won't forget those wonderful moments we shared together...
