"Us and united" is titled for my group of very good bunch of brothers. In fact its nearing four years already and we are moving on stronger. I believe that although everyone now are much busier with indivdual stuffs, but no matter what, we will make it an effort to celebrate each others birthday, no matter how busy we are. Trying to really keep in contact maybe harder now than we used to during our school days, but we understand that as long as we each and everyone are remembered, we will not be left out.
Knowing this bunch of friends during 2005, was quite an unexpected experience for me at first. I never expect to be part of their group too, not carrying much hopes, and seriously, I've never experience before going out with a group of people like at least ten people. And to actually being accepted and clique with them, was a bonus for me. I never do anything much, but just be myself, and soon i am enjoying myself with them. Like many other people who envy people who have a group of good friends going out together, I'm really very proud and happy going outing with them most of the time. It's the sense of belonging i feel being with them. Doing things that I never tried making the first moves before. My curosity grew too and learn many things never done before in my life. For one thing i really know is that, looking forward and excited was how i felt for every outing that i was with them. The first place we hang out was at orchard road, lucky plaza, arcade, those were the friday nights, staying out late and chilling out together, looking at pretty babes. As simple as it may seems, but thats how we spend our friday nights.
I also got to thank them, that was how my pooling skills improved. Competing against each other, and we were hanging out places where ever possible that could hold us. Drinking and smoking were part of us, babes walking around were like entertainment road show, chatting together is called bonding. Days were never boring when I'm with them. Each of them whom i know were special and unique to me. Each hold deep and good impression for me. Another memorable experience was our first ever sentosa trip together. Still could not forget how excited i was at that time, and i truly feel so excited that the night before i could not sleep at all. Perhaps, that was how important i felt at that time. 2005 was also the year i got my first tattoo with them and never regret that day when a group of them followed me down.
Soon, after they we all graduated, everyone started to really get busy with their own stuffs. Some even said, thats the end of us, can find another group of friends. However, i brush of those thoughts and tell myself, never will i find another group of friends already. They are my first and last group and they are irreplacable. No matter what, we must hold on and still meet. We did so and really still got try to make it a point going out at least weekly. Understanding and bonding grew stronger. I will never forget during december 2006, one of my good friends birthday, I truly finally understood and was touched on that night, we were hugging and crying with each other. The first time ever i witness something like this. I shall not reveal what really happened, but just precisely the moment when we cried and comfort each other. The first time also i saw my friends soft side, and touched by the brotherly love. To cry for a friend to me only can mean how important he or she meant to you.
We often drink so usually, when we drink, we end up drunk, and sometimes ending up one crying or saying how much they really feel. Drunk people are the most true, it's when you really express out how you feel, instead sober is masked and where all secrets are kept. I usually don't get drunk, but only really get drunk during my birthday. That when everyone really will look after each other and care for each other. And most of the time, each got their story to tell. Usually I'm helpless at times, but just being a good listener will be a good role to play. Just being there for them was truly what i really enjoy. So usually drinking, was always a very good excuse for us to meet up and chill out together. Which is also something good and a solution to meet up.
Seriously, how I personally feel right now is, I hope we will try really meet up as much as possible, although I know it's hard, but never say no unless tried, giving up is quitter. I really do not want it to end up everyone forgotten and seperated at the end. Some say at home got parents, alone got girlfriend, but when you are outside, you need friends and they are the most important of all. you can have family and relationship problem, but you can always be assured that there is always a friend standing by for you. Willing to help, advice, accompany, listen and most of all let you feel their presence there, and that you are never alone. They to me are very important to me and I dare say that I need them. I won't say that i know each of them very well and understand them. But I dare say that when needed, I will be there and be what a friend should be. From now on, starting as of next year, I will start to be the organiser of our outings. I will not see our group of us going down the drain, we will all stand tall and remain united. Being able to know all of you all, I've got no regrets, it's once in a life time, and i truly cherish those times and days we spend. Thanks sincerely to you all for being there for me when needed. I feel a strong importance I am to you all, and rest assured, every single one of you all are as important to me and not left out. We started as a bunch of cockster, and we will end as one. What are friends for, friends are forever and will be part of your memories. Shi Hao, Marcus, Wei Liang, Vincent, Alex, Zhi Xian, Aloysius, Kiat, Jonathan, Eng How, Rui Rong. Thanks for being there when needed, appreciated sincerely.
