been a smashing end to a great week! went to watch Monster-in-law, another great show, though the original plan to watch Jacket was shelved. never underestimate the butt size of j-lo, or how hilarious jane fonda or j-lo can be ;) also met up wif some old friends n had a nice long chat with them. haven't seen some of them for so so long. :) slept cao early, actually 5 am on friday. went to meet up with kelvin, kai yuan and clement for a meet up n mahjong session :) had a good time jus catching up n talking to them. guess i've finally gotten over that heart wrenching loss the last time i played. managed to even win! a small sum it maybe, a win nevertheless :) wanted to work yesterday, but decided that i've more life than working 7 days a week, and all this not for anything else but money. and as ian would put it, you can never earn enough/ stop earning money. lets hope we'll remember this when we actually start to climb the corporate ladder... instead of work, went down to east coast park where shufang had her 21st bday party~!! managed to meet up with some 4H guys n gals, like daniel, jimmy, shufang, margaret, yvonne, vanice, ronald, meng yi, jun hong, shun hao, kevin. many of them still looked the same, n some of them are still as crappy as ever. haha. great fun catching up with them man. really astonished at how much some of us have changed. its 5 full years since GESS already man. *********************** hmmm sudden thought: how many friends can you recall off hand? do we subconsciously classify friends into many categories? friends? talkable friends? close friends? brothers? buddies? is having alot of friends really that good? or having that bunch of close friends that you can rely on anytime? nothing is absolute, but indeed, some of us go about life making helluva lotsa friends, but at the end of the day, non is close or true to you. we mill about in our life, but hv we ever considered how much we actually influence ppl around us? and then there are the ppl that put different faces to different groups of friends, but is that wad we are supposed to be? ppl with many faces? do we all do that? all the time? sure we talk abt different issues/crappy stuff with different group of people, with guys, inevitably, all conversation topics will fall into the realms of Soccer, Automobiles and ARMY!!! (face it, guys-that-are-trying-to-shake-that-2yr-green-exp, its part of you n this disease is next to impossible to cure, if a habit was hard to get rid of, this is like an addiction =P) indeed, with different groups of people, the conversation topics will differ. but wad i guess i'm getting at is that: we don't need to show different faces to different people, that we put on a totally different face when talking to a different group of friend(s). its really super fake lor, in my opinion... and you never know which is the real you, its almost like you've multiple copies of yourself inside you, each struggling to take a dominant position over the other. how do we know which is the real us in this struggle??? i'm not a professor in human relationships, but something someone once told me strikes a chord with me: be true to yourself, be true to your family, be true to friends, be that one person everybody can identify with. its no easy work, and there's no 1 route to enlightenment abt it. lets strive for that.. ********************* weekend's here, enjoy ppl.ghimz out.
