F.r.i.e.n.d.s

Hello everyone!

Finally the week has passed, sadly, in a blink of an eye. This month is filled with projects and presentations. On top of that capped with a little of quizzes here and there. And in a few weeks time, I'll end my first sem fall'11! that's pretty fast isnt? It's definitely amazing how sch has passed for almost 11 weeks! Say "wow!" haha.

And admist the busy week, I managed to catch a movie, "You're the apple of my eye." by Jiu ba dao. I'm happy that he has finally gained more recognition. I first came across his books when I was in secondary school and found it funny that theres a guy name like this! So cuteeee! haha.
And I think those who are so into chinese will know him, thats why i was glad that he has gained more recognition! ;D

As I saw the show, it reminded me of my own sec & JC times. Everything just came into my mind, all the flashbacks. Those were really the days... Even as I'm typing this now, I'm listening to the movie's theme song, Na xie nian by Hu Xia. THe melody composed was super nice! And of course the lyrics by jiu ba dao himself was absolutely wonderful. Here's a verse of his lyrics.

那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想擁抱妳
擁抱錯過的勇氣
曾經想征服全世界
到最後回首才發現
這世界滴滴點點全部都是妳

那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想告訴妳
告訴妳我沒有忘記
那天晚上滿天星星
平行時空下的約定
再一次相遇我會緊緊抱著妳
緊緊抱著妳 ♥

Meaningful isnt? It's more of the "Na xie nian" that made me feel nostalgic actually. Well that said, I was glad that I managed to squeeze in time for some catch-up! With my secondary school friends, especially. It's been almost a year since I last saw them. As I've mentioned before,

Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. I just hope one day, on the streets, we will not end up as strangers, we will not end up as hi-bye friends.
"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of eachother everywhere. " - Tim Mcgraw

So, I was still kinda glad that we are keeping in touch. They filled up my phase of secondary school life and Im glad they were there for me in my ups and downs. We were still as childish as ever, but who cares? Haha. We played all the way until at night and parted. And I'm glad that there will still be more meet-usps. Th attendance rate was well, almost half the class came :')
And also as well as yanshin & chingyee.

As for my JC clique, ofc we are still in touch, like always! ;D
So Im really glad that I've good friends who are always there for me, now and forever. They helped me here and there, bits and pieces.

And as I enter uni, I'm glad that my OG mates were there for me too! ;D They keep me going in those days, when we joke about others, made fun of others, share our workload and cheer each other up. Im so glad that I've the bestest OG whereever I go! ;)

Also, I wanna thank Shaun&Gary especially for helping me in Math. I was so dejected in not doing well in that subj, and they really taught me from the basics, amidst their own uni work too! Im glad I met them during my intern in NHPS. :)

And so, friends are important in our lives, apart from family. I hope all my friends will stay and keep in contact with me too! ;D I remember seeing a quote somewhere "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."

I've yet to catch up with friends whom I went Medan with, F2 people, LEP@Tw people and yunnan people. And not forgetting the people I've made in Keppel. It's hard, I know. As we grow up, our circle of friends gets wider, our workload gets heavier, it's not and never easy to sustain that friendship. Friendship at times can be vulnerable, and Im trying hard to hold each and every friendship I've forged with my friends. I dont wanna lose each and every friend I know, cos its saddening when one day, we walk past each other, we will only act like strangers and walk past each other unknowingly. And that just..sucks..

So, for now, I thank you, all my friends, no matter if you were my friend once, or whom I've lost contact, I thank you for allowing me to know each and everyone of you, to know that youv'e once come into my life, to make it colorful & memorable.

With love,
grace :)
