been awhile since i post an entry
so here we go

results came out and it aint up to my expectations
did moderately alrite.. improved from last semester
but still a long way to go till i hit my target of 3.5
nevertheless, i'll keep working hard
and even if i never reach this goal of mine
i can pat myself on my back and remind myself that least i've gave it a shot

pattra is back from thailand for a short period of 4 days
only get to meet him yesterday for dinner over at suntec
and i so proud to have a friend like him
top student in the university over there in thailand
keep going my friend
shine !

talking to pattra made me realize so many things
i see him as an inspiration to keep me going further in my studies, career and the list goes on..
he challenged me not to be afraid to fight for what i believe in
and most importantly, the ability to see and fulfill a dream that everyone has

sad to say.. he left home for thailand today
i was there to send him off at terminal 1
could sense that he left singapore with much reluctance
especially when everyone is so caught up so their own life..
i was the only friend there to wish him bon voyage

i guess if i were him, i would definitely felt the same
after losing in contact with your dear friends over a period of time
all you wish is to have a good time of reunion with them
yet this wish seem to be deprived as they are caught up with their own stuffs
busy till they couldn't even spare a time off for a short fellowship
do i have the capacity to accept such harsh reality..?
i guess not..

i haven't mentioned the fact that the hearts of some friend grew frightening cold
once heart to heart friends who were your sworn best friends
now as of the distance where you don't get to meet one another face to face that often
the relationship as friends is no longer present?
is that what a friendship is meant to be?
seeing one another = friendship?
not seeing one another = no friendship?
personally, i do not consider such people as friends
they are more of an acquaintance

if you ever asked me how do i define a friend
i would tell you this
sincerity
the word speaks for itself
how much are you willing to sacrifice for your friend
are you willing to go the extra mile for your friend
giving all you've got for your friend

yes, this is what i regard as a true friend
before you call me a friend
think briefly of what i've said
embrace my theology of friendship
do you have what it takes to be a true friend to others?
