Nostalgia

Short Talk:
Back to study soon. I can't wait to go back! Yahoo!!

..............................................................................................................................................................................

A few days before the Chinese New Year, I was doing some spring cleaning. As I was rummaging through my stuffs, I found many of my old stuffs. Basically, some are just junks and I wonder why the hell did I even draw those things or bought those stuffs.

Some of the stuffs are hard to part with but I still had to give them up as my room is being cluttered up and if I don't clean it up soon, I won't have a room anymore. So as I was clearing up I started to clear some boxes which I kept above my cupboard. I found my really old printer and my old keyboard and also my old worn out CD-Rom. Those were they by-gone years.

Then, when I opened up this very nice box and I found birthday cards from close friends of mine. I decided to open up the cards and re-read them true. Suddenly, nostalgic memories started to fill my head. My 19th birthday present. Florence, Koh Ping, Jason and a few other friends who gave me a very nice shirt. They apologies for not getting me the die-cast plane model. For they know I love airplanes a lot and I had a little collection of it. I never really cared of what they got me. The most important thing is that they are around me. I suddenly felt like crying, those were the happy times and now we have all gone our own ways. Some of them far off. Some of them busy with their own lives. I truly missed them so much, that words alone cannot describe how much I wanted to see them.

This has also made me realize one thing, These friends of mine are my true friends. They are the ones who know me so well. inside out,they are the ones who cares for me a lot after my own family. They are virtually like my second family. That is why I truly treasure them so much.This has also made me realize that new friends are not always the the ones who understands me. They can never take the place of these old friends of mine. They are not like my family and they are certainly different. Things happened and it has opened my eyes.

Friends like Tee Heng and Lone are friends that are hard to come by. They are my true friends who will always be beside me when I needed them. Especially Tee Heng, He is a friend that words alone can't describe him. He is willing to help me out in anyways he could, be it financially. He trusts me. I realize that if I do loan cash from him. He will never ask me back in a rush but instead if I wanted to pay him back, he will say, "take your time, you need the cash now". Lone, would be another friend who isn't afraid to help out financially if I have problems or if I am facing family issues, he will be there to guide me and give me advice. These two people are heaven sent. Guys, I truly appreciate you and trust me on this one, we will remain forever good buddies and brothers. If you guys are in need of help, I will not hesitate to help you guys.

At the same time. I realize I also made some big time suck ass friends who are over calculative with me. Its like you asked them to do a bit for you. They will use ethics to pressure you. If I were to talk about ethics with them I think, they would fail big time. These are the friends whom I do not treasure but I will treat them as normal friends.

I've seen many people in life. Some friends, when they are in need of help will come and look for you. Some, when they go back to their own hometown, will never contact you. The amazing part was that even if they do come back. They will never notify you until you accidentally found out that they were here maybe a week ago. Some will give you reasons, saying that..."Oh I am so sorry but I was really busy...so I can't contact or look for you". I sometimes felt that these are very lame reasons.

To my surprise, friends that I have met later are far more warmer and nicer towards me. A friend of mine from Sibu, whom I met later in my years in degree kept inviting me over and over again to Sibu and even offered me to stay over at his house and the amazing part, I jokingly told him I don't have money to eat in Sibu. he just said its ok, don't worry about food just bring yourself over here and the rest leave it to me. Now, if I was to compare this friend with a friend also from the same town which I met say, 3 to 4 years ago, which in my memory, never ever invited me over to Sibu and there are many more things which I will refrain from mentioning in here.


I am not being petty or anything. Its just that, in life there are so many type of people. Sometimes friends are even more better than your own relatives!

All these has taught me, who I should treasure as a real friend.

A little space for dedication:






To Florence:-

Che, I miss you so much and I am so looking forward to seeing you in June or July. I truly hope that I am over in Australia so I can visit you more frequently. You are already like my real sister, even by name and blood we are not. But in my heart you are just like my blood sister.

To Tee Heng and Lone:-

Both of you are what I would say friends that are heaven sent. I truly treasure you guys and let this be a vow that we will be friends for eternity and let not have anything that comes between us in the future. You guys are practically like my blood brothers. Like I mentioned above, if you guys have any problem which I could help within the boundaries that I can, I will help you guys to the end. Bless both of you.

To Kelly:-

Indeed we have met not for a very long time. But fate works in a funny way. You are just like my real sister. What more to think that we are somehow or somewhat related. LOL.

To Vivien:-

We may have met a few semesters ago.But you are such a nice, sincere and helpful friend. I am very happy to have met you. Bless you.

To Ping and Francis:-

Hey there you two crazy people. I wish both of you the very best in the future. Ping I am so happy to see that you have finally found your true love. Francis, I know you are a very busy person and that you don't read my blog. I believe you don't even know the existence of this blog.LOL...but nevertheless, work hard, and treat Ping nicely or else I will give you a good kick on your ass if you don't. Ping same goes to you, treat Francis nicely, or else your case, I will ask Sylvia to give you a good kick on your ass too. LOL. Nyways, All the best to both of you. My blessings towards both of you guys.


To Sylvia:-

Cuzzie! haha...Even if we don't contact much, but you are such a nice cousin. Even we are not closely related but I treat you as a cousin that is closely related to me. We should keep in contact more. Its fun hanging out with you.Bless you always

read wat u had written also recall my memories. Time pass n change, just look into our future, tink POsitiVE and everything shall goes well as it should be. Don tink too much my fren. There are tonnes of frens tat u might haven met, who knows u might get those tat r totally caring n deep in understanding? it jus the portion of time. Value those u had met, whether they are sincere or good or bad or even Worst(too bad if got tis type of frens) as when we get to know someone, it is FATE and it might be God would wants us to learn something from them whether bad(in contrast) or good value.
