My, it's been quite a while since my last post. Just some short scribbles here. Came back from dinner with some old form 6 friends. FREE dinner at Pizza Hut actually, courtesy of a friend who's working there. Yay! It was great meeting up and chatting with them, and then realising how outdated I am with their current lives. My fault actually, me rarely keeping in touch with them. Promised myself that I'll do that more often from now on. And also shocking news that one of my former schoolmate will be getting married soon. Yikes!! That news took everyone on the table by surprise, and mostly not in a good way.
Maybe it's just me, but when you're bored and your social calendar is empty, it really is the pits - no one calls you out and anyone you try asking is somehow unavailable.
And then when it picks up, it really spirals to the top. And suddenly you have to arrange plans to prevent them from clashing, and also turning down the extra invites. This looks set to be a busy weekend.

Hmm...I can relate with the last bit. I've recently only really realised that for a friendship to be maintained both parties need to work at it.
ReplyDeleteIn the last 2 years, 1st was before leaving for Adel and now that I'm around for a little more, I've been calling, smsing, emailing and msn-ing people that I know, trying to arrange to meet up. In the end I realise that I seem to be the only one(ok overgeneralisation) who is actually putting in effort for these things.
I'm giving up soon la, sometimes I really feel that it just ain't worth it at all. But another part of me just doesn't want to lose everything that has been built...
