I was just blog hopping around and I realised that a friend has flew off to London. For a school trip or holiday, I don't know. Whether my friend is back in Singapore, it's uncertain. Silently vanished away without a sound.

Somehow, a feeling of sadness just overwhelms me. Things aren't just the same anymore. The closeness we shared, the fun times we had over the past 4 years in secondary school has just been forgotten. Best friends, who are neighbours, and still is, are not close in contact anymore. The different lives we lead, the lengthy schedules we have each day for everything else but the close people whom we once shared a classroom with. Is life really too busy and too difficult for us, just to set time aside, say an hour or two, just to sit down, have a chat over coffee?

Ser had a bout of emotional upset not too long ago. Friends in her poly life just aren't quite the same as it was for her back during our fun-tastic days. Upon reading her email, I just feel she shouldn't be going through whatever she is right now. (See! We're in the same poly yet we've to resort to emails. Phone calls and smses just seem so so far away!)

Gone are the days we had each other for company. Gone are the days where we could confide in each other without fear. Hello to the world where we live with a mask attached to our face, never to be removed ever.

To my gal pals Alvina, Dionne, Jessica, Karen, Serene, Nicole, Xin Rong, Yan Han: Though you guys might not be reading this, but, I do hope there'll be a day where we could once again meet up, just to catch up on old times. Take care, my friends...


It's never too late to cherish what you once thought was lost.
