Amazingly this ended up as a post about Friendship. LOL!

In the mood to quote.. Muahahaha XD I’m feeling much better now after the submission of my Assignments although I’m down with flu now. Haha ;)

“A True friend is someone who is always there For you But not necessarily With you”

~Anonymous~

Actually I do not know whether it’s an anonymous quote or is it really a quote that I made up. Cuz I realised it way back it secondary school. Yes, in my MGS days!! :D I tried Googling it but there was no results with the full quote. Maybe I can claim the quote and ‘patent’ it. Hahahaha XD *imagines my name replacing the anonymous above* :P

Come to think of it. This quote is logical isn’t it? Back in secondary school, I actually realised that friends can get too busy to be with you all the time but it doesn’t mean that they don’t care about you. Homeworks, tuitions & they also need to study la!! They have their own paths in life also!! LOL XD

It’s impossible to have everyone With you All the Time when everyone have separate journeys to be completed. Different roads taken. And those with life journeys in different parts of the world ;) But if we are assured that they will be there For you no matter what, there is nothing to fear :) Who says that a little distance means that our hearts for our dear ji muis are far apart??

Thus I hate the condemn when people ask “Where are your friends when you need them?” [with the meaning of friends being present physically] Who are you to condemn my friends yea? Do you really know them? Come on, I do not need to see them face-to-face to know that they care about me. Siao ar, come to Penang just to comfort me? LOL XD Even gestures like commenting on emo blog posts show, a random phone call to ask how are you doing, text messages.. Haha.. I’m listing all the means of communication you can think of except meeting face to face just to prove my point :P

Hello, we live in a modern world now, where friends are not retained in a community. We have real good friends flying off to other places and maybe some stuck near jungles pursuing their education or even working. Those are circumstances preventing face-to-face communication. But Thank God it doesn’t stop the effort to stay connected :) So stop thinking with the old mentality that they will come rushing over when you have a problem. That’s for the old times when your best friends live just a block away from you, and they can literally run to you (or your house) the moment you ring them up.

So when you’re away from home, in deep thoughts, and you’re looking around (literally) for your True friends, don’t say that you have none. Cuz rmb the quote? There are not necessarily With you. Contact them (not necessarily call) through any ways you can think off  and you’ll see that they are truly there For you when you need them :)

Bak kata pepatah Melayu, “jauh di mata tapi dekat di hati”.. :P But then again, this is of course different for the case  of “out of sight, out of mind”.. LOL XD

I believe this is another thing we learn as we grow up ;)

Or is it me being overly optimistic again? Haha.. I can’t help being optimistic. That’s me :)

Oh I found this really nice blog post about friends that is of the same wavelength with me when I was Googling that quote. Haha.. She describes being there physically as being there in flesh. If you have time, you can check it out.

    “maybe some stuck near jungles”

    OUCH! I terasa. XDDD

    I actually realized the exact same thing after started the Uni chapter.

    That’s why every time I stared at the sky, I think of friends who truly cared about me. Thou they’re not physically around. (I just made you guys into ghosts) ;)

    The idea of flying all the way to Penang to comfort you is very teh tempting. I don’t mind spending time in Penang at all you know.

      Haha.. On the contrary, I was referring to myself when I was back in matriks la.. Really Pahang. Really Jungle.. ;)

      Haha you made me into a ghost. Then I’m imagining myself hovering around u.. :P LOL XD

      I actually typed this post feeling so hyper. So there is no need to fly here to comfort me. I’m really okay :) But it’s the thought that counts. Thanks alot Zhi Hui! I really appreciate it :) [Although we both know deep down in ur thoughts, it is also the Penang food that's tempting you to fly here :P ] Muahahahaha XD

    Very logical and meaningful quote. You should copyright it asap. XD

    Anyway, I am envy that you are in Penang. :(
    Another suggestion for you when you are down..
    Have a walk at beachside. Look at the sea. You know, I dont know bout you. But I love sea so much that I feel good every time I stand a chance just to sit at beachside. It blows away all your down-ness. lol
    And you will eventually thinks that this world is so big that we,humans are so petite. There are much more things outside. Thus,don’t be down on whatever it is. :)

    Did I went out of topic? Haha Sorryyy..

    Haha ter-copyright other ppl jau no good ler.. :P

    I Love the Sea too! I just feel calm sitting by the sea and just hearing the continuous sound of the waves. :D

    Yup I agree that there is so many other things to Life :)

    Nope you didn’t go out of topic. But don’t be sad. Maybe you’ll work in a city near the beach after you graduate. Now that’s something to look forward to isn’t it? Hehe :D

    That quote… I think I saw it somewhere.. Hahaha!!

    But I absolutely love your post! Very meaningful and it reminds me of my bunch of MGS friends and what I’m gonna face soon in Singapore…

      Haha. Where? Where?? *looks around frantically* :P

      I think this post is kinda meant for all of you also. Although in the first place, I didn’t type this up with any specific readers in mind.

      I love to be reminded that Ipoh is the place where we will reunite, even after many, many years because it’s OUR hometown. And nothing changes that!!

      Yup, be prepared for changes in environment, but know that the friends you Had don’t. If they have the place in their heart for you, they will. ;) Cherish the friends who love you for who you are <3

      Cheers!! :D
