Friends are for life.

Last Saturday was spend clubs hopping. We started at Bali lane and ended up at Clarke quay. Honestly, I don't really care where we go. It was the company that matter to me. I was in good company and was looking forward to hanging out with my friends. Some of them, I hadn't seen for a while.
I realised that a lot of my good friends are friends that I have known for a long time. Some of them are from school, some of them I met while modelling and some of them are from my flying days. And although we do not often caught up, we always managed to talk and have fun. Time has never been an issue with us. All of my good friends are special to me. When I need to vent, I knew who to look for. The patient ones who would listen and hear me out. When I need advice, I usually go to those whom I feel have an unique eye for details. They are usually those that made me see more. And when there are gossip to pass around, there are those that I knew that would enjoy it as much as I did. The times when I am sad, I too knew who can I share it with.
And the times when I was down, I knew that my 'bestest friend' would fly back to be with me if I ever ask her. We both enjoyed most things. the same humour, the same jokes.She is staying in America right now. So all that distance us are the vast lands and oceans. I always thought we might grow further apart, with all the happenings in our lives. We knew each other in school, went to work at different areas, I was busy exploring my life with my newly found friends and also the world, grow up and get married. I went away to stay in Shanghai not too long after that. She too, got married, divorced and found another man to share her life with. All these while, we hadn't lose touch with one another. Partly, she was the one who had do the maintaining in the begining. She was the one who called me weekly when I was away in Tokyo, pinning away, lonely and sad! She was the one who send funny mails to me when I was in my Shanghai's office and makes me laugh out loud! We keep reminding each other to be truthful to our friendship and should the need arise, tell the offensive party off.
Of course at our saddest, we had each other. When her marriage broke down,she flew to Shanghai and spend time with me. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, she was the 1st friend I told to. She cried with me.
The old regret is that we might not be able to grow old together physically but hopefully, we can grow old together mentally.
I guess this is what friendship is all about. Nothing matters as long as U enjoy the company. Cheers to the friends in this world. U are what it makes it bearable
