Flames to dust,Lovers turn friends,Why do all good things come to an end?Sunday, start of a new week. I do realize from the past week that our course of life can take a sharp turn around the bend in a matter of days or even minutes and this all hactually happens without us knowing or feeling it. Last year was somewhat of a fab year with countless laughter, joy, and acheivements bundled together with sacrifices, tears, hurt and pain. It's extremely cliched to say no pain no gain but it is sadly, true. I now recall the night where Bi and I sat barefoot on the grass at the Esplanade with a bottle of shandy just reminissing on all the happenings, both happy and sad of 2006. How we drifted from those we said" bestest friends forvever" to and how we grew closer to others and the moment when I realized that I don't give a crap to those who conviently walked away in search for a more exciting and thrilling life and how she too decided to develop this attitude. Our top twenty memories? all here.- Unexpectadly getting into the school debate team in Jan!- Winning that debate against Aussie International Sch- Both of us constatntly getting sent out to stand next to the plants by our chinese teacher- How we were engaged in a battle with that chinese teacher and how she won. HA!- My wonderful experience with confi class people like Cheryl, Simone, Christel, Elaine, Allison, Kim, Sean, Julian, Nic, Chris, Aloysius, Olivia, Michelle, Joel, Gladys and many many more.- How both of us got through strange matters of the heart- She telling me that in Pri 2, I looked like a mouse, moose, and deer. WOW.- Debate camp '06, finals at club Momo, had a play where I was starring in a odd comedy of Romeo and Juliet- Won best speaker!- How we laughed and died in school- Us developing a certain resentment towards the jocks in our class. Ha! - Copying off cheong during chinese then doing vetter than her in exams! Oh dang it was hilarious.- Halloween! We scared the crap out of all innocent residents around us.- Studying at changi airport coffee bean every other day before exams! only to realize starbucks was round the corner.- Being accused of colour coordinating on wear as you like day by mel- Miss Sam! our dearest debat tranier- Louisa and I, the good times shared which are gradually becoming non existent now- Bi and Rae, her saying their friendship was never deep-The sorrows which we managed to get through- m,e going for a leadership camp with melody where we met the funniest people alive- Patrick, Tawan, Ken, Sherwyn, Justin, Desiree, and many more.The list would continue if I wanted to but I guess not. 2007 has already enveloped us and its just too heavy to carry so many memories with me. This is something a dear friend of mine passed on to me.Around a corner I have a friend.In this great city which has no end.Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,and before I know it, a year is gone.I never see my old friend's face, for life is a swift terrible race.She knows I care for her just as well,as in the days when I rang her bell.And she sang mine.We were younger then.But now we're busy, tired.Tired of playing a foolish game, tired of trying to make a name.But tomorrow comes and goes, and the distance between us grows.Around the corner, a vanished friend.
That. Was so totally boss. ;
