my best friends

My stay in Vancouver is coming to an end. By tomorrow I'll be on the plane heading towards Singapore, back to work and back to my routine. My life is based there now, and Vancouver, is just a stopover that has a special place in my heart. I'm leaving my best friends behind. The happiness achieved through close-knit friendship I have will be hampered by the distance between us. While the love between us remains strong, distance will become an inevitable wall that will reduce the intensity of friendship love among us. But I'm not too sad. This trip has been a much needed recharging time for me. I feel as if my battery is full now; that I'm now ready to face the new challenges ahead of me; to be happy with my life in Singapore, even without them by myself. Because I know I'm loved, and that there'll always be a place here for me. I saw how much they missed me, and it made me feel that my love for them is so well reciprocated. And how "normality was restored" (as I quote Arthur), when all of us are together again. Amazing how time becomes irrelevant where relationships are concerned. When you meet certain people at an important time in your life where your personality is developing, when you are slowly learning to come to terms with who you are, these people become the railing you hold on to as you slowly step towards becoming who you are right now. I did so, and these people have become my best friends, my shoulders to cry on; my dependable harbour in times of need. And I know we'll be friends forever.



Just look at how we party. We always have so much fun together. It's not just the place - it's the company.
