so i may have lost friends, and i may have people who dun even talk to me anymore.

but God's showing me that there is still so much more.

finally managed to meet up with the nygeppers (: not many, just the 5 of us. or at least, there were only 5 by the time i left. and... even tho i haven't spoken to some of them for at least 3 years, if not 5 or 6, it was just a great time of catching up and laughing and making a nuisance of ourselves =)

some things never change. like the complete randomness of us (they, and si hui, are the few pple who can follow my ever-random, jumping train of thought haha. but tt's cos they are so similar in tt aspect!). or the ... what i'd term "same brain platform level" - it's just the same wavelength. or the amount of noise we make. or the way they can make me laugh non-stop till my cheeks and stomach hurt.

"yoghurt contains e.coli. no, streptococcus. right?"
"erm, it's lactobacillus"
"oh! streptococci lactobacillus!"
"erm, no. lactobacillus acidophilus". streptococcus gives you a sore throat."
"oh. that's why i'm don't take science anymore. wait, it's acidophilus streptococcus is it?"

haha. freaking hilarious :)

tonight, i've laughed like i haven't in a long long time. i've felt so welcomed, and so at home in a way that's been missing since i came back.

they may not be the closest of friends. but i know there are still there for me. and some things will just never ever change. so here's to friends that have followed me up from p4 or sec 1... some i've known for 12+ years, others about 9-ish. (oh no, we'll hit the big 1-0 this year!!!!)

if anything, they are one of the main reasons that I give thanks for the label i carried ard for 7 years.

everyone's starting to embark on their different life journeys - some with jobs overseas, others starting their jobs soon. so many of us are in the civil service - perhaps there was some good to all that indoctrination and national education, and of cos, the fact tt we owe a debt to society.

suddenly, i feel old.
