Last night was very different from all the other nights. Why? Cause of the topic we were talking about. Our childhood. I always had the impression that i had forgotten most of my childhood as i usually can't recall it very well but last night whilst talking to khoo i realised that though everything was not as clear as i would have wished to remember i still more or less remember. It was so nice just reminiscing over the past and all the quirky things that happened. It was so different from the type of usual talk that dominates our conversations.
This morning at around 2 i decided to write yien a letter and when i woke up, she called. Its amazing how we're still able to communicate telephatically despite the long distance. Even though it wasn't a really long call it was really nice talking to her. Its always a nice surprise when she calls. Thanks yien! Muaks.

Change is the only constant. Last year, to me that was nothing more than a GP essay question, however, now it applies a great deal.
This whole year, or whatever that has passed has consisted of nothing but change. Every month, week, day.
January: My dad's no longer working overseas, he's come back permenantly other than the short business trips that he has to take.
Febuary: My cousion left the study in Melbourne. This was the first time i experienced someone so close to me leaving for such a long period of time. This was definitely one major change that took quite a while to get used to. Knowing that there would no longer a close kaki at family gatherings.
There was also the whole change of school environment for the lst 5 months of the year when i did relieve teaching at Henderson Secondary Shcool. My timetable changed every single day! I'll just walk in not knowing which class i'd have to take for the day. I never knew what to expect and that really kept me on my toes! *laughs.
March, April and May: Not really any life changing moments happened here, they were months that held many memories. So many things happened during these few months. It's amazing how relationships can change on such a short matter of time. I was thinking, after school closed, me and khoo wouldn't be that close anymore, but it turned out we grew even closer! Its really wonderful having a good friend living so close to me. Whenever we go out, we have company all the way from the lift to the place we're going and back. *laughs. That was a nice change. But not all changes are nice. Sometimes someone you think you know but it turns out that the person isn't actually just like that. It surprises me how much i trust my gut feelings about people, however this time i think i got it wrong. QUite wrong in fact. I should have known it was too good to be true. Well, everyone makes mistakes. I'm glad i realised mine ( with a lot of help from those around i.e. yien, khoo, peter and kwek) I know i can be quite ( okay fine ) very hardheaded when i want to but i'm glad i saw the big picture in the end. Thanks you guys! (:
No matter how much i may detest or welcome change it is only through change that i get to see the different angles of life. We may tend to want to cling on to what we know best and what is familiar to us but have we ever thought that maybe what comes next is better? We might not relise it straightaway but after we adapt to it it may grow on us.
June: This month consisted of life changing moments. And that was gathered from my trip to Pattaya, Thailand. It was a mission trip, where we were going there to help out at the different schools opened by Fr Ray. However i think i experienced more joy than actually bringing joy. The vibes that the kids exuberate are all really positive and you just can't help but be drawn to them. One of the inital memories was when we brough the blind to the beach. They just held your hands and followed you. And they had not even met us before and yet they trust us immensely. And later at the beach, we had so much fun just playing with the sand and looking for shells. To many that might not sound very exciting but i guess its the joy that the kids have playing along the beach that just passes on. I could spend the whole day just there playing with them but all good things have to come to an end. And before i knew it we were leaving, I definitely will go back though.
July: This month, to me is the month of all change. Its going to be a hard change but i know that no matter how much i don't want it to happen, i can't be so selfish. Yien's leaving for Melbourne today. We've been bestfriends since primary 6. We might not have been in the same class in Secondary and Junor college but we were always in the same school. And now... Its really going to be very hard to say goodbye.
To yien: I'm really going to miss doing all the stupid things when we go out together. When wedo it together no matter how stupid they are, they don't always seem stupid when we're doing it together. Its just a hell lot of fun. And i'm going to miss my pronounciation corrector! As you keep saying, gawd mari, who's going to correct you know? And you'll have that LOOK on your face. (: And another would be our telephatic like thinking. Somehow we just tend to think of the same thing and it has happened way too many times to be coincidental. And i would also like to say thanks dear, for always being here and there and everywhere for me! (: And remember i'm always here too! Love you loads dear. *muaks.
Change. It just happenes whenever, where ever, sometimes you expect it, sometimes you don't. Everything changes and you just have to adapt to change. When its time to move on, we have to move on, time and tide waits for no man. All thats left are memories that we can reminise in our own time. But we can never live in the past, living in the past is like living in a lie. We live in the present and look towards the future. When we have to let go, it is derogartory to hold on any longer.
