friends are hard to get...

HonTiong, Sok Keng, Caren and Siew Chin just came over to my place for dinner. A belated birthday celebration to be exact. Thinking back, I have known them for a really long period of time. We are from the same secondary school, but became only same class from sec 3 onwards, where all of us are in 4E1.

I being the oldest in the group is always really made the decision. BUt i would say, the real credit of the group of really good friends staying together should go to Sok Keng. She's the one that put in the most effort to keep the group together. Perhaps you could have asked, why bother to stick to a group of friends? At the end of the days, you grow up and priorities will change, your scope of friends will change.

My answer is that friends come and friends go. However, these few friends are here to stay. They have been with me thru my teenage years and will be here to stay for many many years. They have been with me to when I'm making major decisions in life or at least I think the decision is major. Ever since I knew them, I have always spend my birthday with them.

But seriously, the percentages of time we meet up is very little. We meet up like birthdays, grand occassions and a few other random timing. However, we knew each other so well, that even we meet up very little and contact each other very seldom, we still know what each other is doing and going thru.

It's really a rare thing and very blessed to have a group of friends like this...
