only the super pro in language like su hui can express things fully well...taken from her blog..
"...But if there's something I realised on Sunday, when we were semi-sprawled on the concrete SMU grounds, it's that a little bit of distance is not going to take away what we've built for 7 years (wow, come to think of it, that IS a long time, considering we're only 19). For sure, we're not going to be able to do all the silly thing we all love doing together for a while, but hey we've been doing stupid things for years, which means that fortunately (or unfortunately) being silly, embarassing and completely retarded are intrinsic to who we are and nothing --not even law school, art school, math school, engineering school and computing school, and fashion school is going to take that away from us. And when we come back together (God knows when that will be but soon I hope) there will be time for us to be goofy again. I'm not so naive as to think that we can pick up where we left off, and of course I know it's going to take a lot of effort to constantly include each other in our separate lives, more so because we are not a phonecall or busride away from each other anymore. But I've always believed that all things happen for a reason and that everything is going to be ok in the end. Although I must admit I wasn't too sure about this just a week ago, when everything was crummy and about to fall apart.But things are going to be ok. The people who will stay in your lives, will stay no matter what. And the people who don't, I'd like to think they felt their time was up and it was time to go away.Now let's stop taking ourselves too seriously and laugh the whole thing off. It's only three years for God's sake, not three decades. And in this age of skype, web cams and facebook, what the hell is three years but a flurry of superpokes and muffled internet voice calls in the weekends?"
from su hui the wise. this is the difference between the future lawyer and the future artist. the lawyer expresses herself in a way most people understand and to some extent, feel the way she feels..the artist here is super vague and i think only she herself is able to understand and feel what she is feeling. i'm so pathetic. haaha
nonetheless...the whole going away is teaching me to treasure my friendships. i used to take forgranted the time needed to invest in such relationships, but now i try to suck in every second, to take in every single memory so when i'm over in Savannah and i feel all sad and lonely, i can always pull those wonderful memories out that will make me smile again :) Despite all the emo-ing, i'm thankful for it because now i make the effort to spend not just time with people, but quality time to talk and to share and to know them better. and now i realise...i've been missing out on so much. nonetheless..better late than never :)
been contacting with my roommates daily and i'm thankful that everything is awesome so far :) judging from our self introductions, we're really pretty much the same in our habits. none of us are neat freaks but we will keep the place sanely livable, all of us listen to all kinds of music but we enjoy musicals and disney soundtracks like all nerds and kiddies do and we're all super laid back people who tend to go mad now and then just for the fun of it :) it's awesome. as we chat online and try and settle things, i believe this will all workout well and we're gonna have a whale of a time together and maybe...just maybe...stay roommates for quite some time :)
life is good to me :D
with great friends around and God to take care of every single detail in my life..what more can i ask for?
