ever since i was slapped with the reality of national service, it has dawned on me that as much as we may wish it weren’t so, a plain fact of human relationships is that people do come and go. friends whom you used to rely upon can become mere strangers in a matter of months. it's a sad fact but i guess that's life.
casual meet ups in the canteen are no longer, a chance meeting in the library are past. and so it takes a greater degree of effort to keep in touch with the people you feel are the most important to you.
on a happier note, managed to book out on a friday night this week which was quite awesome. but then didnt really plan anything for lunch the next day. lunch with hochwin didnt materialise in the end. so i saw our very good friend wenyu online and asked him out for lunch. apparently he had been on att c the last couple of days. that bitch. anyway met for lunch and walked around the ion for a while where we bumped into so many people. felt much like a tourist in the new and sparkling surroundings. met daryl eng, mr combat e, by chance and sat day for a short chat. then later on flew down to iluma, another new shopping mall, to meet siyi to catch harry potter. show wasnt that great i thought. conversation was centered mainly on her impending prelims. it was only a year ago i was in her shoes and studying so furiously for my exams. and at that point of time i had so much wanted to enter the army instead. how time has altered our perception of things
was supposed to meet sheng in the evening, however he had some important things to attend to so i decided to get home. it was such a coincidence that mr siddiq poh happened to be on a bus and saw me and decided to alight. and so we went to heeren for a light dinner. i do treasure such chance meetings. i do like this bunch of ppl, the soccer juniors, benji, siddiq. do hope they do decently well for their A's.
well i guess that's all for now
