Happy chinese new year to all..

the past few days has been rather interesting... went visiting.. watched movie (i not stupid 2) played mahjong... and.. my house almost became a gambling den.. all we need is one drunken guy with a bottle of beer in hs hands.. haha.. thou i only has ribena bottle..

every year, since 1999, on the second day of cny.. all the former sec sch friends would all get together and visiting each others' houses.. this year is no exception. ever since sec 3.. i felt i'm farther and farther from this bunch of people, year by year...

it always seems that their topic revolve around.. girls, money, girls and girls... it seriously makes me wonder what had they been doing for the past years...


yesterday some of my kids came over to my place.. those who are closer to me... they came over and ate dinner.. played mahjong.. and stuff.. i havent seen them for at least half a year.. miss them alot.. most of them graduated from sec 4 last year.. waiting for their o levels results then entering tertiary studies.. a new phase in their lives...

i literally watched these rascal grew in sec sch.. we shared laughter and tears.. sweat and blood..

this strange feeling started flooding me.. that we will drift further and further as they moved on to tertiary studies and have their own lives.. oh yes.. i met joan's boyfriend yesterday too.. and I DONT LIKE HER BOYFRIEND... yea.. ok.. back to the topic..

these little rascals seems to like... grow overnight.. it was like.. yesterday that reine called me to cry over the phone about the break-up.. norman's exhilaration over the bursary award he got.. joan calling me up reminding me about her band concert.. jonathan telling me what a nag his mum is.. the 707th celebrating my birthday and smashing cakes all over the mph.. it.. all seem like yesterday...

now they are like.. grown up all of a sudden.. facing a new stage in their lives.. i want to be part of this new phase.. this new journey.. i want to walk this journey thru with them.. i'm not interested about what they can give me.. not how they thank me... i want to be a inspiration to them.. i want to make a difference in their lives.. as long as one day... one day in their entire life.. they looked back and remembered me for just 5mins... remembered that word of encouragement i gave them.. the pat on the shoulder.. the advice and timely correction.. the unspoken words, a smile and a hand... that pick them up when they fall.. for that 5mins.. just 5... i'm glad...
