And im thinking to myselfWhere did all the time goAnd why can't I rememberWhat it was like when I was youngSeasons changeAnd you grow a little olderAnd my heart grows a little colderNothing stays the sameThe past becomes the futureSeasons changeAnd I'm thinking to myselfI gotta make a big decision today and I hope I choose a better tomorrowRather then a better yesterdaySeasons changeAnd you grow a little olderYou grow a little wiserNo one stays the sameSeasons changeOnly the cherry blossoms they bloom again (x2)They will bloom, they will bloom-"season changes"(susie suh)So, yesterday was the official end to Chinese New Year. We had a big dinner at home for family and friends. It was the last time I'd see my relatives till Christmas. I will miss them. In one year, alot can happen...
I was just sad that some of the people I hold dear, weren't able to celebrate it with me.
Edwin was away on a trip to Bali and Estee is still in the US. Another friend has distanced herself and turned down all my invitations to meet up this entire vacation. But it wasn't all sad because there were more than a few good friends who did turn up.
My summer vacation of 05/06 is officially drawing to a close. It's been a good three months. I've learnt who are the ones who are likely to stick by me through thick and thin. It still surprises me how when I least expect it, it is these stoic friends who have shown their love for me.
I was a little peeved with a friend of mine over a little issue. And when I texted to apologize, I was surprised when he called back immediately to apologize and insist that it was his fault and not mine. I was touched that he would care that I was peeved. Even over a minor manner. And I guess, it showed me the extent of how kind this friend of mine could be.
Another friend whom I've known for sometime, I've never really talked to him much over the years but these past few months, he's opened up more towards me and I'm starting to see a side of him I never saw before.
And these are the treasures of my life; the old friends that you grew up with...the ones who have formed an invisible platform of support beneath you; you may never notice it ordinarily but it's there. Ready to hold you up when your foundation is crumbling or weak.
Over the weekend, I did a lot of driving and last night, when I sent
Amy,
Erik and
Weihe home, I realised that I've improved my driving vastly since I passed my driving test. I finally found the confidence I needed.
Today was my last session at the gym with my trainer. I haven't lost a miraculous amount of weight but I'm getting started and I'm pleased with the little headway I've made...
It's a sad time to be leaving.
