Hello. It's been a while, hasn't it?
The lunar new year's coming to an end soon and with that my ord date draws near. So it was during the yearly gathering at my place when i was struck by how quickly time has flown by.
While we were chatting we overheard my sister's friends talking about O-Levels this and O-levels that, junior college here and polytechnic there. Darren commented that it seemed so surreal- they've seen my sister since she was in what, sec 1? and now she's finished with her o levels. and o levels... it all seems so long ago doesn't it? even a-levels and poly life.
We've all grown. From talking about studies, to talking about ns... now we're all talking about jobs, about university, about current events, about marriage, about the future. We've all grown so fast sometimes i think it's all happening too soon for me to process. Some of the girls are thinking of settling down, my guy friends are all flying overseas to australia one by one or are going to finish up their university degree in a couple of years.
Sometimes i wonder... when i'm done with my studies, when we have our reunion in three years time... what will we be talking about? Will my friends be bringing their other halves? Will they be too busy working to attend? Will i be attending someone's marriage, being someone's best man?
When we were cleaning up after playing poker at poh's place, mingsong said something- "我们的班最 united 的." And we all laughed and agreed.
I hope that even though time may fly, even though we might all have our own lives, even though people might change, I hope that what mingsong says stays true. I hope the bonds of our friendship lasts for a long long time.
