This morning I suddenly thought about friendship. I guess it was also influenced by previous post because I was looking back at my friendship with my friends since primary school up to now. I was also thinking of the friendship that I have in NUS and I talked to God about my friends this morning.
Thank you Lord for my friends that you send for me here. The fact that this is my fourth year makes me reflect how I've journeyed with some friends for 3 years. I might not know them well enough, but it's always nice to accompany them or to be accompanied by them. This morning God reminded me to cherish the friendship, especially because most of the times, I only realize how precious they are when leave.
Farewell was not in my dictionary when I was 2nd year coz I thought that I just came to Singapore and experienced farewell when I left Indo, but yes, there was a farewell. Imma left for further study in UK. I was quite sad that time and until now I still remember how she used to wake me up with morning call for mass. I think just before Imma left (or after?), a friend in Opus Dei also left to Rome, but farewell is not only about 'moving to another part of the world', it can also happen when people start a new phase of life. When my seniors graduated and started working, everything changed. That's why I am very happy that Krizia, Dom, and Paul are still in NUS Legion (and I can still meet Carina even though we are separated by green line MRT hehehe). It's kinda like God gives me more time to grow in this friendship with them before each of us move to next phase of life. Hmmm..how to say.. Okay it's like this.. When I came here, Andrew and Handy are year 3. When I was year 3 and I already felt close with them, they all moved out and 'bubye!' Hehehe. I still have chance to have dinner together with Legion seniors and it makes me happy coz now I already feel close with them and I still can journey with them even in my fourth year.
I'd like to talk about another kind of friendship. Hmm.. Something about chemistry? How it seems like there's chemistry between some friends and you feel comfortable with them even though you don't know them before. I experience this with Cui Shan and Sylvia. Me and Cui Shan were just random roommates for 2 weeks in Bangalore, but somehow I can feel the bond as friends :) I met Sylvia in the early weeks of school once, then since then, I feel that she's very nice to talk to and we just meet every week to catch up stories from each other. Hehehehe.
Someone said that junior feels closer to senior than how senior feels. I dunno how true it is, but I was so happy when at the end I talked to Brigitta through skype (thanks dom! :P). There's this unexplained joy when I can talk random things from 'useful' things to 'useless' things..hahaha..Actually I don't believe that we talked about 'useless' things, sometimes these 'useless' things that we talked about are the ones that make us laugh. HAHAHAHA.. When I received her postcard, I smiled as if I received $1000 (hmm, actually I don't know..I haven't received sudden cash before :P). Hahaha.
Thank God for the people you send to accompany me..
Amen..
