Once I thought that my friendship with my school friends will last forever but alas time has shown me that for me it is not possible. Friends has now become mere acquaintances limited by factors such as where we live, what we do for a living and pretty much where we went to university. If not for Facebook, I would have definitely lost all contacts with all of my friends, from university and especially from school. I even came to a point where I thought "It's ok, I don't need friends." Of course, once I said that the universe decided to show me that having friends around is so much better than having none.
However, it saddens me when I think about my school friends like Mariam, Hanee, Alina and gosh, I can't even name any other girls because I guess I was never really close to any other friends. I was quite close to Mariam since we sat next to each other from Form 1 to Form 5 but she went to UK for her tertiary studies and I went to Australia. I think I was the only one from the circle I used to call my friends that went to Australia. The majority of them went to UK. As such, I have no common ground with them any longer. We don't live near enough to each other to visit. Even if I invited them to my house for Arwen's birthday, they won't come. To add some more distance, I think I'm the only one that I know of from my BBGS batch that has decided to completely go off the career track and opt for full time mommy track.
Truth of the matter is if we are not in the same locality let alone the same country, it's pretty hard to keep in touch. Furthermore, I always felt like I was the odd one out from my circle of friends when I was in school. I some what belonged in a group but yet I really don't feel like I belong. Mariam and Hanee was like the glue between me and the other girls. Hanee is a kind soul and would always try to include me in and Mariam just clicks with everybody and I just kinda tagged along with her.
