Friends

A recent gathering @ Conrad Hotel

Its been so long since I last went out with my poly friends, especially Roger. "Graduation" the song by Vitamin C still plays in my mind sporadically. I started to hum...

Graduation (Friends Forever)

So we talked all night about the rest of our lives

where we’re gonna be when we turn 25

I keep on thinking times will never change

keep on thinking things will always be the same

but when we leave this year we won’t be coming back

no more hanging out cause we’re on a different track

and if you got something that you need to say

you better say it right now

cause you don’t have another day

cause we’re moving on and we can’t slow down

these memories are playing like a without sound

I keep thinking of that night in June

didn’t know much of love nut it came too soon

and there was me and you and when we got real blue

we’d stay at home talking on the telephone

we’d get so excited and we’d get so scared

laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair

CHORUS: and this is how it feels…

as we go on, we remember

all the times we, had together

and as our lives change

come whatever

we will still be friends forever

so if we get the big jobs and we make the big money

when we look back at now will our jokes still be funny?

will we still remember everything we learned in school

still be trying to break every single rule?

will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

will heather find a job that won’t interfere with her tan?

I keep- I keep thinking that it’s not goodbye

keep on thinking it’s our time to fly

will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?

can we survive it out there

an we make it somehow?

I guess I thought this would never end

and suddenly it’s like we’re women and men

will the past be a shadow that will follow us around

will these memories fade when I leave this town?

I keep- keep thinking that it’s not goodbye

keep on thinking it’s our time to fly

All of a sudden, I feel like writing about friends.

At different stage of our lives, we meet different friends, different faces and laughters to jazz up our lives. I have fade memories about my primary school friends, but I do remember vivdly who were my entourage back then during secondary school days. We were dare-devils. Rebellious. I recalled, those were the best days in our lives, where we don't have to worry about money, about not being accepted in the society, and so on...

Then, after Os, we split, getting on different tracks. Then, poly friends comes along. Poly friends are more matured. They are the ones who taught me about lives, and why I should work hard to get the Dist.... they are the ones who motivated me.

Then, followed by my uni friends... colleagues...

I don't know what to write about friends, there are too much to write, about how friends pick me up when I am down, know what I want when I just give a stare, curse and swear at heartless guys, share tears of sadness, share the excitement of every happy moments...

Friendships are indeed the most important thing in life next to kinship.

To all my friends (whom I still keep in contact and those who drifted apart), thanks for playing a role in every stage of my life, you may not be the lead actor or actress in my show, but I can say that you are the best supporting actors and actresses. Cheers!

Here's a gathering pic took recently. I wonder why the rest couldn't be bothered to attend the gathering.
