"Friendship must never be buried under the weight of misunderstanding" saw that quote somewhere, thought that it's especially relevant at the current moment.
After leaving Sec school for 15 years now, things have changed so much. In sec school, friends were like treasures.
We hang out together, do good and bad stuffs together, cry together, laugh together. As years pass on, things revolutionize. College life, then finding our own other halves and getting on to building our own new families.Together with all these comes the ups and downs in our own families, deaths, severe illness of family members and so on. So much happens in the span of that 15 years, till I personally have lost touch with my closest buddies.Although we still keep in touch, but for me things are not quite the same anymore. Most of my friends have left KL and we hardly keep in touch via technology.
There were plans for our 20th anniversary celebration later this August, but things have been rough for all of us. I and Lihan had a some confrontation. Chen and Chien Hui had a major argument. Wen Sing and Pei Sun accused Lihan of some stuff. So much has been going on. I guess, it's all because we've grown and adapted to different lifestyles and cultures, and it's so so hard to come to terms with one another now.
I'm not sure when will we be ready to reconcile again. Just hope in all our misunderstandings, we can pause awhile and go back to those happy , carefree days and see how united and for each other we were. We shouldn't wait for tragedies to bring us closer. Although, I'm, very happy that the little 'tragedy' I had had brought me and Ade talking again. Probably if we all be a lil less selfish, or lil more open to accept criticism from ppl who have known us all along, then maybe we can change for the better
My wish is to have this anniversary thingy 'on'. we won't know how many more anniversaries we can celebrate ,before it's too late :)
