My very very first blog entry! - On 'friends'
Ok, this is my very first blog entry, so if it doesn't turn out fine, 请多包含！
[great! glad you came on board!!]
I've never wanted to write on a blog because I don't really like to type things out very much (I don't exactly like to email either) but I guess this is something quite different, so... well....
It really feels good to be at the outing on Thursday. Haven't met up with Meiqi, Shuzhen, Yingyi in years (I do meet up with Weixiang now and then... we share more friends in common) and I wanted to speak out on how I feel.
Friends come into your life, and friends go out of your life. But these friends are very... special to me.
When you hang out with friends, you experience some sort of feeling around them. There are groups I go out with more often, that I've known for a very long time; yet I don't exactly feel comfortable with around, or even a part of them.
For this group of friends, even though we haven't met up in YEARS, there is this special feeling that warms my heart when I am around them. We had a great time in JC, even though I was only able to spend one short year together with them (I am one year younger than them). It was the period when we were all growing up – the period where friends tend to be the main focus of your life. I guess this wonderful feeling cannot be easily erased over time, and remains inside my heart; hopefully it can last forever.
Our goals were once the same: CO. We virtually breathed CO, and would be perpetually seen haunting the miserably tiny yet cosy little CO room when we had some spare time. However, with our different lives unfolding, our priorities in life have changed, and we all now pursue very different ideals in life. Yet, it is comforting to know that friendship does not wane even though our goals have diverged.
[At this point I am so touched. Same sentiments :D]
It really takes each and every individual’s effort to maintain friendship bonds. For that, I thank you all very much for making the effort to turn up for the gathering. You don’t know how much it means to me (though most of us might have lost the ‘wild adventurous spirit’ that we once had – hey, just walking round the fountain isn’t much of an wild task right?!? It is something silly that we soooooo would have done back then. :p )
Looking forward to regular meet-ups in future, my dear friends!
