Old friends, new memories.

Today saw a mini reunion of the Irau watch of YAC16 2002..

hahahaha...what i mean is this, a few of us gathered today at KLCC for lunch and then a movie.. well, there was Nat, Timothy, Yee Qin aka Alien and me..plus my ever faithful sidekick cum cousin, Tammy.


A pic of us at Madame Kwan's; Me, the ever-lovely Nat, Tim and Yee Qin


It was really great seeing all of them again, especially Nat, cos she went to the USA last year as an exchange student...if i'm not mistaken, i think she said that she was in Connecticut for 6 months and then she moved to New Hampshire for the remaining 6. anyway, i thought she would be pretty changed.. i mean, a whole year in America should do something to you, but no.. she was still the same old nat that i knew from before, so that was really reassuring... hahaha.. i was bracing myself for the american accent.. but nope.. it's still the same Nat accent alright.. she was one of the girls in camp whom i was closest with.. hahahah.. still remember the trips me and poh leng took to her house for the Hari Raya open houses... smashing cakes and cookies...

Then, there's Timothy, who's still the same old Timothy, except that his hair has grown so much longer... hahahah.. still the same funny guy..and Alien's still Alien.. quiet and observant...just watching all of us gab away.. hahahah.. really missed them.

The thing is.. now we're all much more subdued.. i think it's cos we haven't actually seen each other for a long time that there's a sort of gap between us.. before me and nat were pretty close..but today there's just this sense of awkwardness around us.. hahaha.. pretty weird...


Another shot..this time we're all more serious, eh?


Why do people change when there's no interaction between them for some time? Is it really true that 'Tak kenal maka tak cinta' ?? Whatever happened to 'Abscence makes your heart grow fonder' ?? it's kinda sad when you see friends slowly becoming strangers... not that i'm saying we're strangers.. it's just that we're not so close-knit as before anymore... i'm just hoping that when i'm in Sydney and i come back to Malaysia, things like these won't happen between me and my friends..

Let there be opened arms and wide smiles greeting me forever!!


Oh yea.. this is totally off the line and it's just something i read in a book.. it's really beautiful and it would certainly explain and answer the universal question of why girls are more matured than boys. Savour this...

"All women have to watch men fail and fall. This is why we were made older an wiser, before we are born. For ours is a task of the world, to create and bear new life, and afterward to endure it's every pain."

I think this speaks volumes of truth...
