I'm Old...

Recently there has been a surprise surge of talking to ppl I used to live with. While spending so much time in front of the computer studying (and facebook-ing as well), I talked to 2 people that were my neighbours back in the condominium I used to live in.
.
The 1st person was Jia Jen(JJ). Haha..this guy damn funny la, the amount of time I spend with this guy was like more than the amount of time I spent with any other person in the condo. How I met him is a funny story actually. You see when I was in primary skool, while waiting for my transport to arrive, I met this small girl. Her name is Xin Yan. She was the talkative one cos I don simply say hi to small girls..haha..Anyway, whenever I mentioned of something, she would always go, "My brother can do this, my brother can do that." She had nothing but praise for this 'brother' of hers. Fast forward a few years, my cousin came to my hse once and we went to the basketball court to play some games. My cousin noticed his fren from skool and asked me, "Do u noe that guy?" I said no, hence an introduction was made. JJ is a year younger than me and we share similar interests. So after becoming rather close, one day I went to his hse. Surprise surprise I saw that small girl there so I asked, "What are u doing here?" She replied, "I live here!! What are u doing here?" -.- Then it struck me that I have met her 'full of praise' brother. We moved from Street Fighter to playing basketball, to playstation, to basketball again then to Fifa/Counterstrike.
.
The next person was Ai Yee. Aaahh..the girl I chat with while waiting for transport in early secondary. Its always the waiting for transport. Hardly spoke much with her after I moved out but we chat recently and realised so much has changed. Like now we are both in universities, I'm in Aus while she's in UK (Uni Reading).
.
.
Of course I have made plans to go back and visit them. Can hardly wait, they were the big part of my childhood. So many memories, disregarding fond ones or not.
.
Its not until I saw pictures of Xin Yan again that it struck me how much time flies by. I mean that was the talkative girl. That was the girl that me and JJ teamed up to bully (wahahaha..bully small kid). That was the small girl that we picked fights with and chased me around the house when she got mad at us. I think I remembered that she cried on one occasion -___-" But she's all grown up now. Elegant and pretty, (a bit the camwhore as well..lol). I mean yea la, I was nerdy and geeky back then but this is like some 7 years ago. And 7 years ago memories usually arent very clear when u think of them. 7 years ago should be quite vague by now but its not. All I can feel now, is I'm getting old!!...

Friends

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?

"Friends come and go, but true friends are never forgotten"(quoted by Jonathan Chua in yr 2004, muahahahah)

I'm hungry....ciaoz..

A release on exam stress....(and felt like posting)

Ok so i havent been posting anything for almost a month, so sue me...
In the midst of exams, i decided to dun care la!!! lol...

Now that accounting and econs test are over, i still dun feel a big burden being lifted off my chest, still got 2 to go...haih...
About tmrs business law test, i have 90 cases to memorise, which i think its crazy as why the heck must we memorise cases. In reality the lawyers oso can open book and quote cases la...i bet they cant remember every single case right...ish..

Chia Pei Xian juz told me she is going back to Msia this holidays and she decided that last week...zzz so gud she gets to skip winter, when im left freezing here..and once again, my malaysian fren has dumped me to rot at home this winter while she enjoys mid valley or one utama...unfairness, we were suppose to sama sama suffer...

As the holidays approaches, the emoness oso come along with it, i think its a package la, holiday plus emo feelings come together. Its not dat i really miss home, i have a nice asian "family" here so i feel more like home instead of being crowded by kuai lou(ghost ppl) or ang moh (ang mo kio? lol)

Emoness: I feel that im tryin to distance myself from relationships which i have no idea why. I have infatuated or attracted or 'strucked' to a few girls over the past years yet whenever i think there is a possibility, i end up chickening out bcos i feel i cant commit. Its like i can be attracted to a girl one week, and the next week i'll think the best we can be is good frens..Maybe its bcos ive failed once, and it completely blew my confidence off.. I feel nah, its not possible for her to like me despite 'feeling' there are signals. Or most of the time i juz compare how i feel towards this girl and how i did feel towards 'the failed one' and i realise that i dont like this girl as much as i did like the other girl...But its unfair for me to put it that way bcos i cant fall deeper if i don open up. But i dont have that confidence to open up, its like scared of falling in love. Man, i feel like a girl rite now... -__-" I see ppl all around me coughing up the courage to go after their 'interest' and im stuck like aiya don bother la...Some are telling me their relationship problems, some are telling me their courting plans and some are literally taking action right in front of my eyes. I envy them, as i have not found this one person to really interest me. Who noes? she could be in front of me but im scared to take action she could have come and gone and she could be in the future..getting this weird feeling sux....

But the one thing that got me feeling like this almost everyday is that freaking show one tree hill...I noe la, drama sure the couple get together dat time damn touching wan ma. Like how lucas finally realised that he trully loves peyton and there she in the one he wants to have by her side when he has his dreams come true. And he figured dat out in front of recently split with brooke. Or how nathan loves haley so much he is willing to give up basketball for her to support her and the baby. These shows are i tell u, shows how love is so strong but also shows dat i suck at finding love...GG....Another show is What About Brian i recommend u all to watch it bcos its a nice show bout discovering love but yet i dun recommend it bcos the STUPID TV NETWORK has taken the show off after the 2nd season and the ending isnt very 'feel good'...

The people i miss in msia....(except the front left wan cos shes here :P)
This wan special treament for edward cos oso havent seen him in a long time...

(in white jacket, yes the one in white ar, NOT NOT NOT the one standing nxt to the white.. :P)
Ng Li Hsien!!! (in UK)
My childhood brilliant frens (oso in UK)(the twins at both sides)
You know its amazing but i never did realise until about a month ago that i DONT have a picture of my parents here with me, not even in my laptop, wallet or photoframe...zzz they dont noe dat, but lets keep it dat way :P

Nevertheless, time to focus on my law...and i havent eaten lunch so im hungry...ciaoz
