Saturday night, I was on my bed, tossing and turning around, trying to find the best spot to rest my head and get some much needed sleep. I just couldn't find it. I sat up thinking about... yes, friends.
How time flies! In a matter of days and weeks *for some, I'll be bidding goodbyes to my fellow friends who are migrating. Carin will be going to Melbourne, Tom'll be in Perth and Javern, next year will be moving to Brisbane. Sad it is. And not forgetting the smart ASEAN scholarship buddies who will be going to Singapore, Eu June and Yong Xiang.
Yes, my mum told me friends do come and go, thats life. I do hear that phrase often, but feeling the sting it brings when your own friends are leaving is well, painful. Carin told me that God has a purpose for you and me, yes, I do believe in that. Having beloved friends by yourside, keeping you company is really heart warming, seeing them leave and go, heart wrenching.
I am in between sorrow and happiness, yes a rush of emotions maybe. Happy and glad to see them venture into new surroundings, embarking on a new and thrilling phase of life. Sad not to be able to see them and losing them as great company.
As the days are counting down, I do trust and pray whole heartedly that the Lord will be with them as they move on, guiding them and keeping them strong.
Tears tend to shed when they go. Friendship isnt always a bed of roses. I have learned to appreciate friends more now. Reflecting back, I can think of some friends I neglected or maybe unable to lay down my ego to talk to them. I'm truly sorry, if I could turn back the hands of time, I would do anything in my will to regain that friendship.
Yes, for those who are leaving, Eu June, Yong Xiang, Carin, Tom and Javern, I will miss you guys loads! Do keep in touch and stay close to the Lord!
*LOVE YOU GUYS LOADS!!
