my email buddies..

I have a group of unique friends.. we have keep in touch through emails all the way from year 2000.. unique relationships.. some of us have known each other since 1987.. and some even since 1982.. 4 "school 1" girls and 2 "school 2" girls.. school 1 and school 2 cos in our primary school, somehow the same standard is divided in 2 groups.. hmmm, don't really know why though.. all i know was school 1 girls "do not like" school 2 girls.. childish, eh.. of cos.. we were children then.. heh..

then when we came to secondary school.. somehow all the school 1 and school 2 students were mixed and placed together..

afther that, we (me and S) went our separate ways in Form 6 / A-levels level.. i guess during that period we were no longer in touch with one another.. i dunno.. i'm sure i didn't keep in touch with any except with A.. this was the period of my life in which i find myself trying to forget.. so, my memory at times were hazy over this period.. and yet, it's the most signifant period of my life.. but i will not elaborate further, mabbe some other day.. i think we went to a Genting trip together during this period too.. for the life of me, i don't know how come I went to this trip with them..

and soon, we found ourselves joining the work force.. and one fine day, having grab hold of some of my old classmates email, which i can't remember where i got from (i hv lost track of the very first email i sent).. i just have a record of someone's reply dated some Mar-2000 that serves as a record that we started emailing in that year.. and, so, we have kept up with this form of communication - mass email

and, yesterday, due to someone's reply.. i begin to analyse myself.. cos, it's not the first time someone remind me of my too inquisite reply or too much .......... (fill in the blanks), i come to realise actually how private these friends are.. yes, we do share some details of our lives but there's still something not to say.. something like how tactful we can be.. and sometimes my intentions are/were misunderstood..

then i realise how my family function.. we never kept secrets from one another.. we tend to speak what is/are on our mind.. no trying to please someone.. no trying to be considerate.. :P.. no beating round the bush.. happy or unhappy, we can tell straight from the look of the face..

i have no conclusion.. and i know this time i have really crossed too much of the line.. what i really hope is throughout the years we hv grown, we do not have to thread gingerly around each other so as not to hurt another person.. sometimes someone feel we should not talk/say something.. but sometimes silence is hypocricy, in my opinion.. but to remain as friends, we embrace and accept each other's goodness, shortcoming, everything, we tolerate each other..

and, so, this posting is to remind me how much i treasure this special group of my friends..it last becos we made the effort.. it's special because we care.. here is to many more years of unique friendship..
