Friends come and go. In fact, today, I believe I lost a friend that I just got to know last year or so. Oh, well... Que sera sera.
However, I am happy to report that a very old friend came into my life recently. This is a friend that was with me when I was then green and blue and all other colours of the rainbow behind the ears. I was then the girl with the pig tails and no sense of fashion (not that I have much of those nowadays). We were room mates when we were studying in college. However, she left to continue her studies overseas and I still had to finish mine at the college. So, as the story goes, we lost touch. There was no handphones then. In fact, I think I only started to use the handphone after I finished my undergraduate studies. E-mails are also hard to access as we did not have our own laptops then. We did however write letters to each other at the beginning but that kinda fades out as well. I am not much of a letter person anyways.
But as fate would have it, on chance I saw her sister while having breakfast with my parents one fine weekend. I was eating not to my hearts content as the food was not that glorious, but I felt behind my head that somebody was looking at me. I thought she was mistaking me for somebody because for the life of me I can't remember her. However, this sister of her came over to where me and my parents were having breakfast and introduced herself. Then, recognition sparked in me. I'm hopeless in this - remembering people. Actually, I can sometimes remember the faces of people from my past who I haven't met for the longest time, but their names always escape me... With my friend however, after the recognition in me of her sister, we established contact and we lifted off!!!
So, incoming or outgoing, I welcome everybody in my life. It adds curry. It adds salt and sugar. It adds chilli. It adds garlic and onions and also it adds 'belacan' to my life.
Anyways, on a different tangent, I am elated, sad and happy (I don't think one person can have all these emotions at one time but somehow I do, it's all mashed up into one big giant feelings) that the fav reality race show has come to an end. I can't wait for the next installment.
Congrats to the Malaysian team. Gal power rules!
Good work to the Singaporean team.
Oppss to the Philipines team. I'm not great with flags either.
But the race goes to show that fate and luck can change almost without any notice and can overturn 360 degrees towards another end. Nothing is 100% certain!!!
Yup, this also goes in line with my incoming and outgoing theme. Nothing is constant, things are always changing.
