Friends

In 3 months, I reconnected with a friend, and had to bear the loss of the same friendship. I guess it is only through the passage of time that we get to see the true colors and depths of a person's character. I especially treasure those whom had made a difference or warmed my heart, however, not everyone shares the same values and place importance in connecting with others sincerely.

I was baffled and ruminated on the reasons to explain, and excuse the cold shoulders I received.

As I felt down and injured, our faithful God sent me phone calls/online messages from old friends to warm my heart. It reminded me that there are still good people whom I have befriended and cares. Somehow a whole handful of good friends from overseas came back for Chinese New Year celebration this year, and my following days are occupied with reunions and catching-up sessions! They range from a few I have known since I was 7, to college/Uni mates.

On Sat, I had a wonderful time catching up with a Singaporean coworker-friend over coffee. He was dropping by town en-route to the North and buzzed me for a meet up- a pleasant and comforting surprise! After that, I went to meet up my good old friend HT for another round of catching up. Today, there was another round of catching up with a few college friends over coffee!

Reminded me of a quote, 'you gain some and you lose some'.
