Friends forever

Somethings happening at the moment set me thinking of the past. The past that happened 9 years ago, about a group of friends, comprising of 6 girls and 1 guy (yes, I'm the only guy -.-), that came together and promised eternity.

I enrolled into TP's Biotechnology mainly because of Weewee. Needed someone to get along with in the new environment. On the first day, I met Beebee and Auntie, both were my secondary classmates. The group of 4 was therefore set up on the first day. Within the first week, Ruru was added into the group and by the end of first month, Jane and Mumu was within this circle of friends.

Remembering the days back, we were almost inseperable. We attended classes together, lunched together and practically everything together. Chalets, outings, charity walks, open house, simply everything. I remembered the time when we were all late for lab classes and ran frantically to our lockers to get our lab coats. I remembered the Big walk we went together where 4 of our pagers were drenched in the rain and spoilt. I remembered seeing the girls carrying the same design bags. I remembered the Seoul Garden session we went to after my presentation. I remembered the long photo-taking hours we took to make sure every girl had (mind the past tense) taken their individual pics with me. I remembered the night spent in Mumu's house preparing for my final presentation with Auntie. I remembered so many so many things... but ya.. they are all past.

As we grow older and older, the group started to disperse. As expected, the first was Jane. Jane was never very close with us from the start and I have been wondering whether it's her fault or ours. Weewee, who is ever so busy with her loads of friends was the next. Although I really treasure the friendship with Weewee, especially since she was the first I met in TP, she hardly has any time left for us, especially after she gotten attached. Beebee got married just recently and she is going to be the proud mother of Lorain/ Emma. I'm so happy for her. Although she is married and couldnt get involved in most of the gatherings, we still considered her as part of our group, that was reduced to 5.

And now, things have turned for the worse among the remaining 4, namely Ruru, Mumu, Auntie and Me. Misunderstandings and problems have arised among us and it seems that they are almost impossible to solve in the near future. I do wish they will be though.

I barely remembered when was the last time all 7 met. Was there even one this year? I do not want the group of eternity friends to crumble. I do wish to fulfil the promise of eternity, if not, at least friends. I really hope to see the group still intact, but it seems that this is a dream. I can't do anything now, except to pray to Buddha, to hope that the others find the pathway of truth and light, as soon as possible. 没有永远的情人,只有永远的朋友。 ps: 家人也是永远的
