just looked around and realised something...just wondering about some stuffs and kinda got through something... somehow, i looked back at my 13 years in singapore, i realised that i made a lot of friends, lose a lot of them too... its like what they usually say, life's like a bus... some people get on to your bus and journey throughout your life... some people get on like after a while get off the bus on some stops... some? got on halfway and remain throughout... for me, my life has not ended yet.. i'm only one fifth of a century old and frankly speaking, how much can i tell? how much of this world do i own? perhaps everything... perhaps... nothing... then i was just pondering on the friends that got on at some peak hour stops and many got off soon after they reach their stops...
but at least, 13 years in singapore, i have one who got on with me from the beginning till now.. and still is journeying with me... weilin. i really appreciate her friendship after these years and sometimes, i felt that i didn't need to make any effort to maintain it.. naturally, it just comes with it.. i feel good really with her around... sometimes a bit difficult when we have our own sets of thinking and perspective but really.. maybe its the difference that binds us together... i really appreciate the things she has done for me and being a great friend all the time... after all these years, we never got off each others bus... thats for our story...
another one got on like way six years later after i know my first one... that's sinlee. no doubt we are still meeting each other and of course, we are like a family. same goes to weilin too. sinlee is incredible. she is someone who shares the same personality with me. i guess in this case, same personality attracts. maybe we know each other too well to start a fight or something... in many case, we are like sisters though.. people always links us together.. same as weilin too though.. sinlee is always a joy to be with.. we talk about things that usually people wouldn't talk about... we are more melancholic... so, between us, many paradigms are exchanged.. so... we make a great pair of sisters.. since my mom and her mom are like good friends too... she of course is still on the bus with me...
well, in life... i guess i don't need many friends.. friends do come and go.. but this two are by now... the best i've got.. the greatest? nahh.. the lousiest... but because they are lousy.. i rather stick to them... hehe~ strange analogy? i don't think so too.. i don't stick to great friends.. i stick to friends that will go through pits with me...
of course... i've got some people on my bus sitting at the back seat... people like yahui too...don't want to forget her.. and some others from church, crusade and mission trip team... no matter what, i don't ask for everlasting relationships from them.. at least, an acquaintance is already a bliss..
