Reminescence

It has been 2 years since i left Kuching. Many things have changed , the people , the place , the air. But one thing remains unchanged in face of the test of time. Friendship.

It is hard to maintain so close a rapport when everyone is in different place. And in less than a week's time , i will be leaving for the Czech Republic. How will our future be like? We don't know. So rather than pondering about the uncertain future , why not cherish the moments remain.

Everyone is back holiday for a very brief stint. Also my last time to see them before i fly off.

2 September 2006.We embarked on our journey to Siar Beach , our final trip together in this near future. A one hour more of journey to reach Lundu. The songs of Michael( Guang Liang) accompany us along the way. I find the lyrics of Yue Ding (Promise) really meaningful " we have said not to meet in 3 years , let our love keep the time , you said it's a test , it's our promise..3 years have passed and i am back to the same old place , i close my eyes and wait for you to appear , the air still smells of your existence...i still remember our promise , an eternal promise..." With friends , we can do the stupidest things , laugh at the coldest jokes and talk the lamest issues yet there will never be time of boredom. A trip will never be complete without one member. Despite the different circles of friends we meet everyday , the magnetic force that pull us together remain strong and unaffected... We can be 20 years old , but we can play like five-year-old kids. There is no need to be pretentious. There is no image to look after. It is just being true to our inner child. Time is running out. How many more times can we play crazily like this before we face the harsh reality of the real world , to race in this dog-eat-dog world , to work hard for our own family and many many more challenges to come... The inner child of us will soon be gone if we don't hold precious now.We can be tired at times , we feel like quitting , we feel like giving up. Life is not a bed of roses , people are not as naive as we see. We might fall , we might collapse and we might not know what to do and where to go..

But we know there are friends that stand by us through thick and thin. F.R.I.E.N.D.S......
