Before leaving Brunei, I was showered with really warm farewells. My good friends, all of them, cleared their calendars to make time to see me for a farewell coffee session, farewell dinner, farewell run at the stadium, farewell brownie bake sale. Some of these friends I’ve known all my life, some of them I just met not too long ago but all of them had put in the same effort. My sisters were also quick to point out how lucky i am to have this big(ish) group of friends that really cared.
I do have really good friends. So good, that sometimes i feel guilty for not being able to repay their kindness. You see, I may not be lucky in the love department but it’s good to know that i have friends that i can really rely on. Friends that i know who would be there for me no matter what – ada duit kah nada duit kah, lampoh kah kurus kah, bida kah lawa kah..bejagok kah inda kah.. ada bag chanel ka nada bag chanel ka..ada make up itu la..nada make up ini lah..babi kah barok kah… …
It took me a lot of trial and errors to get here but I have found my posse and I’m holding them close to my heart.
That’s the thing about meeting new people. You meet a lot of them, but it’s pretty rare that anything would come out of it. It’s either a hit of a miss. Most times it’s a miss. Anyway, being single and 30.. i realise how important it is to maintain these relationships exsp when you’re in a frosty weathered foreign country that gets dark by 5pm. loneliness definitely has a way of creeping in. Being in touch with my friends is just the thing you need to feel or fuzzy and warm inside.
Kan. God is fair like that. Yes i dont have a BF..but i have lots of lots of BFF who i can get in touch with at the touch of a button. kajap..aku bedoa dulu ah:
To my friends, wherever you are, I pray for your safety, for your health and happiness.
I used to read your previous blog until life suddenly got really busy. That was probably 3-4 years ago. It’s only this year that I thought of it again n my o my you’re still funny to the pepsi max. Kan kepisan kdg2 ku ketawa. Hence, you should compile all your blog entries into a book. If it aint a bestseller (esp in Brunei), then the world has truly lost its sense of humor. I’m sure this isn’t the first time someone made this comment.
fidz, thanks for dropping by. Just when i thought no one was reading. I ttoo have lost a little bit of myself/humor since i started blogging. growing up sucks. lol. but i’m slowly trying to find my bearings. thank you for your kind words.
