.Friends forever?.
It's strange. Reading gabe's blog yesterday about maintaining friendships, it got me thinking whether i do have friends. Like gabe, I keep myself occupied and my schedule is always packed. School term for me is really dedicated for school. Call me at 8am, 12pm, 3pm , 7pm, and I will most probably be in school. Sadly, but so true. Other than that, you will catch me rotting at home. I didn't even have time to go for the hyped up IT show even though I really wanted to!
What a boring life. Yawn. I began pondering whether I do start to dread school.
Surprisingly, unlike some others, I don't. I recalled attending a behavioral lessons few weeks ago and my prof posed a question on how much sense of belonging we feel for the school. I remembered scoring "very high sense of belonging". Maybe this is what keeps me going. Feeling motivated to stay in school really helps me in working towards my Summa Cum Lade dream.
So what really keeps me motivated in school?
Pretty girls are a plus point, but definitely not the ones that keep me going. I only look at one these days anyway :P Maybe being pretty involved in school activities, being able to fit into the culture etc helps but...
I concluded that I owe all these "motivation" to all my close friends that I made in SMU. Friends who provided me with a pillar of support, friends who keep me grounded, friends who never fail to amuse me, friends who bear with my working style and many more. Getting mushy.
However, I do wish to maintain my external social life. Friends whom I made before SMU, I do cherish all of you. Some things never change.
Maintaining friendships.
Like cars, ( you heng you get cars with no problems, you not very heng you get cars that requires lots of maintanence. ) friendships do require some sort of maintainence, just whether less or more. Some friends require more attention. Some friends don't. Some are even more amazing - You can rest assure that the friendship will sustain even without MSN, email, SMS, basically any form of contacts for years.
And some friends.. you don't even need to appear close but are actually very close at heart. haha.
Ermm. My coy law class is ending. Would like to end off with an interesting photo which I took a week ago with Ryan and Peiying. Compare the photo with a almost similar one which we took a year ago. Any changes? (Yes, focus on P's face!! HAHAHAHA )
