Friendships are one of the most elusive relationships in existence- fail to hold on, and they are swept away. It often amazes me that in the short time that friendships last, enthusiasm between the two parties is at a high; However, in a few moths, the novelty of the friendship fades, and you drift apart. What was once warm ethusiasm when speaking with each other, begins to take on a new level of formality and coldness. These are my reflections, and if they do not accurately reflect what you as a reader feels, kindly lodge your protests with me. (:
holding on to you.

Haven't been blogging lately in the light of my absence from the computer due to being on holiday in Bangkok. I probably ate too much on the trip, the rest of my time being divided between watching TV in the hotel room and sleeping. Not a very healthy lifestyle in my opinion (: The first session of the Raffles Model United Nations Conference was held today, which varied between enjoyable and dreary, the debates being enjoyable and the various formalities/protocols tending to be rather tedious. The debate was somewhat livened up by the introduction of a "crisis" scenario, namely the kidnapping of the EU president by rebels from the Free Autonomous Republic of Kurdistan, F.A.R.K for short, the semblence to a vulgarity ultimately being intentional i believe ): Haha. It was a rather entertaining day on the whole, perhaps i will get my chance to speak on thursday. Oh and ill wish wenxin and jeanette a Happy Birthday, if they even read my blog ((:
holding on to you.

Talking to the elderly can be really enlightening. They seem so eager just to pour out their thoughts to you. It reminds me of my kindergarten self, where I would elaborate on the occurances of the day to my parents, and taking great pleasure and pride in it. Nowadys its usually monotone, monosyllabic replies like,"nothing","don't know" etc. Human progression is rather like a mountain isnt it? You start out, and you end off exactly where you came from. Perhaps then, just as we devote great attention to a newborn child, we should accord the elderly with the same respect and care they deserve. When we find ourselves in their position, what would we want most? LOVE.
Karma by Alicia KeysWeren't you the one who said that you don't want me anymore
And how you need your space and give the keys back to your door
And how I cried and tried and tried to make you stay with me
And still you said your love was gone and that I had to leave
Now you're Talking bout a family
Now you're saying I complete your dreams
Oh
Now you're sayin I'm your everything
You're confusing me
What you saying to me, don't play wit me, don't play wit me
Cause....
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin', desirin' to come back to me
What goes around comes around
What goes up must come down
Now who's cryin, desirin', to come back
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you til 3 o'clock in the 'morn
And when you came home you'd always have some sorry excuse
Half explaining to me like I'm just some kind of a fool
I sacrificed the things I wanted just to do things for you
But when it's time to do for me
You never come thru
Now you wanna be up under me
Now you have so much to say to me
Now you wanna make time for me
Whatcha doin to me, you're confusin me
Don't play with me don't play with me cause
I remember when I was sittin home alone
Waitin for you till 3 o'clock in the 'morn
Night after night knowing something goin on
Wasn't long before I be gone
Lord knows it wasn't easy believe me
Never thought you'd be the one that would deceive me
And never do what you're supposed to do
No need to approach me fool, cuz I'm over you
Gotta stop trying to come back to me
It's called Karma baby and it goes around
holding on to you.
