It is said that change is the only constant in life. Indeed, how true it is. I remember the times when we were all pubescent, albeit fine, young gentlemen who became better friends from being classmates in RI4C'98. I remember all the fun and laughter as well as all the wacky(not without booze of course) birthday celebrations. I remember the pranks and playful banter, as well as all the hotels(Fullerton, Ritz Carlton blah blah) that we have "hosted" our stayovers. Maybe we got tired of Eug's place. Those endless but tireless nights spent playing PS2, worms etc, watching soccer and then late night suppers. Oh boy!! And not forgetting XT's fav breakfast-in-bed. Haha. come to think of it, we might have been too lavish then.
But in all, these contributed to the blossoming of a friendship, which i sincerely believe will last a lifetime, despite the different paths we have now undertaken in our life journeys.
Now as i type, we are all in different parts of the world, leading the kind of life we want, for better or worse. Its great that I could travel a bit with XT, mike and kenneth before my exchange at UC Davis began. It is only then that i realise we have not had a good loooong chat for such a some time already, and perhaps as HY commented: "we have drifted apart??"
Nevertheless, as much as our current social and/or academic environment have shaped us, the camaraderie that we share still remains. And that is when i believe true friends exist.
