I wonder how people actually have the 'will' to blog about their daily happenings. I used to be quite nonsensical. I blogged about EVERY detail, almost. When I read them now, it bored me to tears. My own story. Throughout the years, I got smarter and stopped. But, suddenly, I don't seem to have anything to blog about anymore. I'm not quite an avid blogger, but I'm not quite willing to stop. I've started this when I was about 14. Now I'm 18, and 4 years is quite a long time. Time passes by so quickly. Maybe the reason why I've decided to keep this blog, is maybe one day, any of my friends may come across it and see the recent updates of my life.
I was out with Peh Lin and gang on Saturday. It was her farewell, she's leaving to Australia for studies. So we were talking and we came across the famous 'topic'. We were just saying how difficult it is for us to keep in touch. It's not that we don't want to, somehow it's different. If we were all to meet up, the night will never end with so many conversations to catch up on. However, if we were to just meet and talk over MSN, the conversation will not last. Here's how it'll go, typically:
A: Hey! How are you? I haven't seen you for so long etc.
B: Hey, i'm fine, thanks. What about you? Etc.
A: Oh i'm fine too, how's life, what are you doing now? etc.
B: I'm doing bla bla bla...etc. You?
A: Wow that sounds great, I'm currently on some bla bla bla...etc.
B: That's nice...etc.
*The conversation will then trail off, or worse, stops abruptly right there*
If you're creative enough and have all the time in the world, you'll probably come up with something good to talk about. Most of the time, everyone will be busy catching up with other people (you're not the only friend we have, you know) or busy finishing up assignments etc. Stuff like that. I'm sure you know what I mean. So yeah, don't you agree, it's so much easier to meet up and hang out, than to converse over MSN? The bonds between us are there, they never did break, we just need to tighten them every once in a while.
It's only natural that there's never enough time to do something. Time is the LIMITING FACTOR. We have all the tools we need, we just need to be smart to how we want to use it. Friendships can travel from country to country, through a hundred thousand miles. One day, it will come to a full circle, and we will meet each other again. The plan now is to be sitting together, all of us, talking about what happened 10 years ago, and what happened throughout the 10 years apart.
Here's a small tribute to my dear best friend, Sharie, who's now in Maldives. :D!
