I think that most of us would agree that family comes first no matter what is happening in our lives as individuals....i, for one, tells my family almost everythg that is happening in my life.. except for a few things... Things that i am entrusted to keep to myself or things which i think wont hurt them if they dont know....those are the things that you tell your friends...your best friends...your soulmate...
when i was in primary school, i did have lotsa friends...but nothing major really happens to you at that age that i didnt really have any specific bestfriend...why do i need friends for when i had my soulmate with me...we were in the same class for several years and got separated sumwer in between but when we go home, before we closed our eyes for the day..we will xchange stories of wat happened in school or tuition...yes, primary school was cool coz the subjects were way too easy and i had my soulmate then...subjects got boring towards the end of primary school expecially since i was doing quite well...but i would always envy those seniors passing by tru n fro the main gate of the secondary school...i couldnt wait to grow older just so i get to enter secondary school where things are supposed to be more fun and subjects were more challenging...
when i entered into secondary school, i got separeted from my soulmate, and that was when we made our own set of friends, and with what-sort of identity crisis that we had, we got ourselves our own best friends...though we were in a separate journey in the whole 5 years of secondary school, i kept a close watch on my soulmate. No one dared to cross that line of me protecting her cause i was there everyday for her thruout the whole 5 years....still despite the separate journey we have set, at the end of the day we still have stories to tell before we closed our eyes...
secondary school tot me a lot...dat im no longer as smart as i tot i wld hv been, i lacked interest in maths which was my passion in primary school and science, though i rarely missed school..i despise the idea of homework and never seemed to find time to do them as required :) i made quite a number of friends in secondary school, friends with similar interests, similar background of different heritage....and that friendship does not end with my classmates or batch mates...it got extended to my teachers too...YES, despite having left school for more than 10 years, i am proud to say that i still maintain contact with a few of my teachers!
from form 1 till form 3 i had this 3 friends whom out of weird circumstance became my bestfriends and finally formed our own secret group called KGB/FBI...yes they were and still are my bestfriends despite where ever we might be now....the three of them were totally different from me in d sense that they were alwiz the top 10 students in d class while i'd be in the bottom 5! They studied hard while i played hard...but they are so ever willing to let me copy their homework early in the morning so dat i dont get called again n again by the teacher for failing to submit my homework! they were there to hear out my problems...my fear, sorrow and my joy...they were there to support me still when my soulmate were taken away from me...they understood me and still do...and as im writing this i wondered whtr i have been there for them as much...
bcoz they were the brighter students compared to me, in form 4 & 5, we got separated as they excelled in PMR while i did OK....but that didnt bend the bond we had...for they were still there for me...more instead of less...they tot me what i didnt understand nor valued...they became my advisors..financially & academically...it was amazing when they took the efforts to learn arts subjects for me whilst they were in science classes! They'd stay back after school to teach me maths & science for the feared that i would flunk my SPM if i dont pass tru those subjects...i did ok lah in SPM and again they were the scorers. they were there for me and even now despite leading separate lives as a banker, a govt officer, an engineer & a lawyer....
we got separated after secondary school....each of us were chasing our dreams...3-4 years passed by yet it only made us stronger...we may not speak to each other every day compared to our lives in school but they have given me the best times in my life...them and my soulmate... we still keep in touch...despite the distance, we are making plans to spending some time together in december! I am really looking forward to gather the members of KGB/FBI for our reunion...so many things have happened and more to look foward to...together...and i still thank God for blessing my life with good friends like Yee Lee, Lavaniya & Kogi...school was not easy for me but you guys made it simpler and fun...
