We want a lot of things.
We don’t always need what we want.
But we never know if we’ll ever get what we want.
Even if we try very hard to get what we want.
And that is the greatest uncertainty in life.
It won’t be an easy task to get where I want to go in life. But it is worth a shot. A few shots at least. Before I utterly surrender to wills of fate and destiny. *sigh*
Managed to meet up with a few of my friends from high school yesterday. Honestly, I shouldn’t call them friends from high school, instead they should be called childhood friends. Some of these girls I have known since I was in kindergarten and in primary school! It was nice to see them again after so long, although some could not make it as they were committed to their jobs and all (I’m still unemployed but soon to be employed. Hopefully in August), it was still nice to see them.
You know how they say that really good friends, no matter how long since they’ve last seen each other, they will be able to just pick up and start a conversation as if they saw each other yesterday? This was something like that. We may have not seen each other in awhile, but we still can connect, and I think that is what makes a friendship a friendship – the ability to sustain it no matter how long it has been since you last spoke to each other.
We’ve all more or less moved on into the next phase of our lives and are entering our careers, but reminiscing about highschool shenanigans was amazing. It shows how much we’ve grown and also how we kind of miss the old days. (I know I sound like I’m 50 when I say “the old days” but it does feel like it has been awhile)
Here are some pictures :)
THEN
… and NOW
* I’m aware that only Joanne and I are repeated in the “then and now” pics, but that is because some could not make it and I don’t really have the other pictures. :p
This past week kind of passed super fast. Before you know it, it is over. But after being idle for such a long time, it doesn’t really matter I guess.
Monday – Tuesday: Malacca Mates take on the North!
Wednesday : recovery day..cause the trip was kind of tiring..but definitely AWESOME!
Thursday: Medical Check Up day @ HKL
Friday: the delayed belated bday for Jo Jo!!
Yesterday was also the day where the posting debacle was uncovered. Sometimes, we must accept that it is our fault after all. Blaming is just another way of denying your own mistakes. But I’m not going to be worried as I believe that everything happens for a reason and that you can’t fight your fate. I’m still keeping my mind open and I won’t be complaining with what I get.
The greater the adventure, the more awesome the memories and lessons learnt!
Knowing that my posting might be delayed, I hereby start planning another trip with my family!! :D See, not all things that happen have a negative outcome..it all depends on how you view things. :)
I’m no parent, but I know that parents will try their very best to protect their kids from the negativity of life.
But it saddens me to see that some parents here think that they belong in Hollywood. Taking a kid to a club is NOT normal and it definitely does NOT make you a cool parent. Exposing a KID to alcohol, cigarette and possibly drugs at young age would probably mean that the parents have decided to dig their kid’s grave. I know someone who was exposed to the club scene at the age of 12-ish.. they dropped out of school after they turned 15. Drugs, alcohol and sex were the reasons behind their drop out.
I’m just asking why would ant parent want expose their kids to such a thing when they are suppose to protect them? If a teenager went and got themselves in trouble behind their parent’s back..that would actually make more sense than a parent encouraging a child to do such things.
Let a KID be a KID while they are still KIDS.
Don’t force them to become a teenager.
Just my thoughts
