All sorts of friends

Someone that you know since ever?

Someone who been the same primary school as you?

Someone who went through crazy high school moments with you?

Someone who you met in tuition?

Someone that you see occasionally?

Someone who you just met?

Someone who is the same college with you?

Someone who knows you well enough although you guys don't have to say much?

Someone that resembles the one that's always on you mind?

I guess we all have all sorts of friends in different stages of life. Back in my carefree kindergarten days, I remember these bunch of friends that always come to my house to play. Played games that we will never ever play. Something that we will find it childish and lame now...At that moment of time, nothing's really that important. Anticipating to go to classes to meet friends in kindergarten and takes turns to hang around each other house.Then, we soon realised that we are growing up and I mean going up real fast. Although most of us head to the same primary school but we were separated into different classes. That's when we started meeting our new friends. Classmates that sat beside you and new bonds were then formed. Slowly, we no longer mix around with our kindergarten friends. This happens to most of us. I hate the feeling that we were once closed. Once doing things together but not anymore.

Std 4: Gotten real close to a few of them but time seems to wash away our memories together.

Std 5&6 : Our class back then, most of us were quite close. Having dancing practices together for our graduation performance.

After you got so used to your primary schoolmates and there you go, time for us to enter high school. The horrible first day of school when I was Form 1. The awful feeling of not knowing everyone in the class. I only felt better during recess to see a few familiar faces which were my primary mates back then. I always wish to be in the same class with someone for 5-6 years continuously. None of my friends was in the same class with me for more than 2 years. Thought it would be an additional bonus to my high school life if I have a friend like that. Something that I really really miss badly in my high school days were co-curriculum activities I did and people I met along the way. Back then, I was not so expressive.

Katrina, my nicest maju and Leo seniors. Always guiding me and won't make me the gap between us.

Gwee Jia, someone who cant bare to see me taking taxis back home almost everyday and volunteer to give me a ride home everyday. 

Trina, my best Leo and maju bestie! Went through all sorts of crazy stress together and always stand by each other. 

Sabrina, someone who supported me knowing that I get tensed up easily. We always stick together in class and during breaks.

Jun Ning, one sweet girl that misses scouts as much as I do.

Jian Nee, one that always call me for hours to chat on her problems.

HY :) and many many more.

After high school ended, all of them had different plans and flew to different parts of the world. I started to appreciate and wanting to keep a friendship as long as I could. Lost contacts with so many of them and it tends to be a habit of not contacting each other anymore if we don't do so from the very start.

Please take care.

Love,
