Friendship

Photobucket
It’s not really that charming to say a 29 year old ended up crying after watching Toy Story 3. At the part where Andy (the kid) had to let go of his toys cos he was going to college, I just could not hold back my tears. Parting has always been difficult for me. I grew up as suitcase kid. I know I should get immune to it and I do play the whole strong part when it comes to losing friends, just to know next you’re gonna be in a new room where any person you meet has a potential to either give you a wedgie or a trip around your new class.

The truth is… I really feel like I haven’t paid my dues when it comes to friends.
Be it small gestures of politeness or just a very biased “I actually want to do this” mentality, I guess anything positively worth giving time can brighten anyone’s day. It actually made me smile and yet feel bad when I saw a couple of my friends, back from my uni, commented a whole lotta happy comments on my facebook after I announced my target date for my album release as a status.

I guess I understand how hard it is to be able to be the same person everytime you meet your friends. Maybe, it’s them or maybe it’s you evolving but somehow, sometimes, we just can’t really get the feel of what we all used to have anymore. But as mentioned above, a small gesture would do.

I could start that by writing an email to my closest friends, Dicky, Ali, Jen, Alex, Zhe, Danny, Luke, Miky, Jess, my boss Amelia and Pete. I know I’ve had a couple of other friends before them who were my close friends but I guess these people were the first of those who were there throughout my turning points in life, where one would never be able to predict what’s to come the next minute from me. They somehow have never given up on me.

If you’re reading this blog, I just want to say I’m not proud of what I had been in the past and I do know you guys have totally stood by me for the past few years. Thanks for never judging me. Thanks for never complaining whenever I come up with yet another excitement over a boy I just met either online or in a pub. Thanks for never giving up on cheering me up whenever I rant about love, life, friends, family and money. Thanks for never losing faith in me whenever I say a couple of bad things to you guys.

There are plenty more I’ve met along my life. I guess, my friendship list would keep growing til the end of time but it’s those who would always be there for me still that I will know are the one who would never give up on me.

Jack, Robby, Mel Lau, Owen, Sas, Justin, Steph (betch), Jane, Georgie, Shreya, Vinnie, god I could just go on…. Thanks for not giving up on me.

I do love you all and I don’t know what I would do or be if it wasn’t for your patience and time.
