a toast to friendship.
they say that true friendships last a lifetime. i'm beginning to believe this maxim. the friends you have, the people that really know you are those that will be with you for the longest time. we may have gone our seperate ways. not contacted each other for a gazillion years but when we come together, it seems like we never really left each other. we are still the same after all. perhaps that was the thing that glued us together in the first place. each of us, unique, with our own character and idisyncrasies, bringing in life and true meaning to the otherwise dull and meaningless word.
dinner with the vases & the extended vases was amazing. i haven't seen them for a long time. everyone busy with their own life - school, ns, what have you. it was a good feeling to see the familiar faces that was once a part of my everday life. that became a permanent fixture of my everyday school life. at that moment, i felt comfortable, secured and highly elated. these are my friends! at first, it was quite tough finding the correct frequency to talk as per normal. i mean we haven't seen the extended vases for quite a while now. but of course, shortie has to break the ice.
excerpts:
the shortiez: "let me tell you a joke, it's really good!" (starts to flip Reader's Digest)
me: "that's good, you've upgraded yourself from telling your own jokes to stealing other people's jokes!" -smiles-
that was all that was needed. from then on, it felt like Temasek Junior College all over again!! it was so much fun. ate at fish & co and told each other -shudders- cold jokes. of course shortie being the master of such travesty spew out chunks and chunks of them effortlessly.
ah. the joys of friendship.
to the whole vases family,
thanks for being a part of my life, for leaving your imprints in me. i'm glad that even though we've all grown up(with the exception of shortie! hehe.. kidding) and all having our own lives, we still are who we are. the sheila, dong, sharon, hanis, haireez, engtat, liwen that i got to know in tjc are still alive and kicking!
much love to all of you!
*i guess for every death, there's birth. so with this ressurection of true friendship, gone is my friendship with you. i don't regret having you as a friend. i don't thnk i'll ever will. but i won't bawl over losing you. wot we had, now a thing of the past. perhaps we will work it out. perhaps will become friends again... someday. but now, as the dust settles, i say adieu to you - friends before, strangers now.*
