Friends

Today, as I was sorting out my 2008 and 2009 photos. It was seriously astonishing how people change! The changes are due to their appearances as well as their characters.

There are people who often appeared in my 2008 photos but have yet disappeared when the New Year (2009) began. Yet, there are people who have remained during the both years. In addition to the 2009 collection, there were new faces whom I’ve tried hard to keep in contact with.

It amazes me how the friends whom I was not even close with during the secondary school years are my good friends during these polytechnic years. Even though we belonged to the same school (SCGS), the classes were probably in close proximity, but yet, our paths never crossed till we entered into polytechnic. Example of these friends are Xinyan, Zhiying and Audrie. Although we did not belong in the same polytechnics or junior colleges, we were closer than we were during the SCGS times.

It is also fascinating that I’ve still managed to keep in contact with some friends ever since primary and secondary school. Jazreel…my primary 2 hello kitty friend. Yvonne, my primary 4 friend, we created this campfire which was made of straws for our first primary 4 project. Abigail, my desert buddy as well as Saturday Morning Walks buddy. Gloria, my big sister who has always been there for me since the day I met her. Amelia, this funny valentine's day dinner girl as well as bangkok FACEB buddy! Angela, whoooo, this best friend of mine.. there were so many struggles and differences we faced during the NCC days, but we’ve really persevered till today (: I still remember the day when Angela and I were separated. When she was posted to St. Andrews Junior College and I went to Serangoon Junior College, we spent many hours crying on the phone, I was sitting in my room and she was crying at her house car park area.

Whether or not these friends last till the day I breathe my last breath, I’m not exactly sure myself. But they were definitely friends that were blessed by God. (:
