I had a nightmare!!!
Yes…one so painful it woke me up from my sleep several times last night.I'm left all alone in that dreadful dream with all my friends walking in some kind of direction and vanishes without me…..noooo!!!!, I told myself !!Not that I’m afraid of being there alone,but, the feeling of not being with everyone and seeing them leaving you behind feels painful.
Ok,I know it’s just a “dream” but this makes me wants to and learns to cherish time and quality conversations more with people.

Recently,I’ve been catching up with a couple of friends and ex colleague for lunch and something in our conversations made me think about how lives unfold before our very eyes and yet intervene in some way or the other with family and close friends. I look forward to the day I look back in twenty years, over a cup of coffee and say "look at us now". So far I've been able to do that with several friends, whom we've been still in contact for 10 years or more now.
We've laughed together, skipped school, got caught throwing toilet paper on the ceiling, got into relationships, dumped the boyfriends/girlfriends, have our hearts broken, went clubbing, got wasted, bought our first LVs together. Some moved overseas to work, some got married, a few had babies. We bought our first car, started our own business, bought our first house. We've made money, lost money, saved money, wasted money. We've been together through thick and thin, sometimes close, sometimes far away. We've met in random places around the world, travelled together, sms-ed each other, read each other's blogs, bought each other massages, talked about facials, make up, skin care and even botox. And some of you are guys!!!Awesome…..
It has only been about ten years or so. What rich lives we will have together for the next twenty to thirty years. How blessed we are that we are able to be in contact much easier than ever before. But it is up to us to use these tools faithfully and to remain faithful to our friendships and ourselves.
May we be friends forever!
I've yet to see some of you change your hair, grow fatter/slimmer, win the lottery, become famous, find that special someone, get married, attend your wedding, watch you squirm during gate crashing. Have kids, bring up our families together, travel together, be tai tais together. We still haven't become Godma and Godpa to one another's children, move next to each other to become neighbours.
I want to do that with you guys till we are old and gray, till we have memory loss and all we can remember is when you first bought me that cup of coffee....and if you didn’t….please do so and gimme a beep soon before I forgets who you are!!!!
Always and forever!Let's laugh our way to heaven!
