June 17 didnt only mark the birthday of melissa. It was also for the brilliant twins in cambridge. Why are the smart people born on June 17. If i noe, i oso want to be born on dat day la, chun wat, study smart get scholarship, recognised...lol
Anyway i emailed both of them and Ashok replied. He oso quoted something i said in my english essay back then. Come to think of it, i could hardly believe i said dat. "Friends come and go, but true friends are never forgotten." Yeap, i said dat and i've stuck to dat thinking and i always will.
My parents never agreed with me. They always think dat most frens u meet at the beginning during your skool yrs, u will 4get and most of them will probably juz use u for business. I accepted their opinion once, but then i disagreed. To me, my frens play such and important part of my life, dat i dare say i would have been different if i never met them. They said u will 4get frens but dats cos they did. Why should they tell me dat i will 4get my frens juz bcos they did. Why would they judge my frens the way they judge theirs. My mum is friendly yes, but i never thought of her as a person who would make sacrifices juz to strengthen a friendship bond. My dad basically only had a few close frens growing up. I realise this bcos whenever i had to do something for a fren, my mum would tell me not to, but i will do it anyway bcos to me they are important and if they need a favour, i will help them. If they needed advice, i will give it to them with no expectation they would agree with me but i've played my part.
I grew up making a lot of frens. Most of them are my true frens. I'm about to reach 20 and i still keep contact with around 10 of them which i've known for 14 yrs now. 14 yrs is more than half my life man!! I made more in college and mostly they will be my close frens in the decades to come. My parents lost contact with their frens and they say i will lose it to but they didnt have technology during their time. I think differently, with msn and frenster, its easy getting updated with their life.
As a person who is forgiving(ahem ahem) i tend to let the past go between frens dat had a misunderstanding or even stabbed me in the back. I noe a guy who did so many bad things dat his lies could add up to 100 A4 sheets in writing. When he did wrong i forgave him. When he did wrong again i still forgave him. Now i bet he thinks i've distance myself from him. The fact is yes i dont like his personality and don't want to get involved with him much bcos i dont want to be lied to again, but as much as i dont want to admit it to myself, i forgive him. Which man has never done wrong? He should be given a 2nd chance, even 3rd, 4th or 100th. Maybe dats why i feel so much towards frens, dat the bond between us should last a lifetime. As i believe in, God gave us salvation, a 2nd chance, even with our sins our 2nd chance goes on forever so why would i condemn someone who has done wrong. If God is able to forgive him bcos Jesus died for our sins, why should i be angry at his sin. Believe me, u can get me to like someone, but it wont be easy getting me to hate someone.
I look at my frens now and yes, i think i have many to keep. As long as both parties are willing to put effort in maintaining this frenship, why shouldn't it last?
