Wrote this some time ago, but had no time t finish and publish it…
After the two rusty fellow has reflected on the past. Now, it’s mine.
Indeed, Qiujin and I got to know each other better when we know that our friends in Bowen actually know each other and we got even closer when we went for tuition together at amk central.We had dinner together, we saved on food to spend on neoprints. Then things got even closer when we both waited at the bus stop opposite for her mum to fetch us back at 7pm. Her mother will drop me at the bus stop near her house and then I will walk home from there.
Then when we went on to Secondary three, we both ended up in different classes. As I was super active in the past, we will ran into each other’s classroom. This is when i started to be closer to Huiling. Very often, peg, dorothy, huiling and I will go for recess together. I remember the chicken rice that dorothy used to love, the mixed vege rice that we rushed to queue once the bell rang. The fridays when Dorothy could only take fish and not other meat.
Then, i remember how i always tease diwei that we were in the same sch since primary one. He used to be so bubbly cute and stayed few blocks away from my house.
Out of sec sch, went straight to work 5 days after my Os. This is the point when my life starts getting busy and somehow I realize what I want in my life. At that point of time, i knew exactly which poly i want to go, which course I want to take, what i want to be when i graduate.
I wanted the job experience and money. So i went on part time and full time dip at the same time, trying to look and find out what is happening in the real work environment. I think this was when the three of us started to meet less. I worked almost 9 hours a day when I was working in hols and I mugged like 5 hours a day after my normal poly classes.
i have planned for almost the next 5 years of my life but i never knew I could make it to local university after graduated. At the same time when I got into Uni, HL went thru a terrible period of time on wondering if she should stay with product design or move on to another chapter of life. Somehow, we were always there for each other when we need some advice from each other.
at almost 20 years old, life starts to screw up.
My body started to have problems, school life totally suck to the core. At the certain point of time, I really wanted to gave up. I wanted to stop the medical consultations and even school. Downloaded the withdrawal form to quit school, stop going for the consultations which I had to. In the same period of time, the 2 rusty fellow had problems with their body as well.
Then the crazy projects and life starts. Endless of projects, the kind of stress that I have never experienced in my life. The kind of uncertainty that rock my life. Although my sch was in the city, i never ever have the mood to take a second look at the merchandises in the display window.
This is went i went MIA and I know I neglected many of my friends during the period.
But, qiujin and I managed to get internship that was in Suntec city and we will often meet for lunch and even head home together. This is when the two of us grew closer and even had a common friend. Because we often head home together, we often call HL up to meet for dinner or sth similar.
But my already hectic lifestyle was made worst after I took up the job as part time. Things was fairly okay at the beginning as I was just in charge of market research and some basic stuff. But opportunity came knocking on my door at the beginning of this year. And I am able to be in-charge of SEA and middle east. Somehow I knew that this job and company has very good future prospect. And i guess, this is when things got really crazy that I had no life andI really unable to meet up with the rusty fellows.
Somehow, we ended up in different environment and somehow changed us.
Qiujin has always love nightlife and drinks. And in the last year, Huiling started to join in the nightlife occasionally. But, I really hate clubbing, even after the govt banned the smoking in clubs. Loud music, dance, drink is just not for me. And I am glad and thankful that the 2 rusty fellow understand and even give me the second option of going dinner for birthday celebrations.
Somehow, our common friends are not that common anymore. Topics are not that common anymore as well. I apologise for neglecting them, taking them for granted. I know somehow, we can find back the kind of laughter we use to share.
After working till like early morning for the past week, managed to finish up what I was doing and pass it to my boss for follow up. I have been working and studying, so now I shall enjoy my 1 month without work and sch mails.
Hey girls, sorry about the photoshoot thingy. I know I bo xim lahz, we shall take it after I come back from Europe/phuket ya?
Love you two.
