Hola everyone! *if there is any around*
It has been close to two years since I last blogged about anything. For those who are in the loop, I have been through and done with my two years of National Service last month. I am glad to announce that I am back in one piece, alive and kicking.
For those who are not in the loop, here is a summary of my two years:
I have went through and passed out from the Emergency Response Specialist Course, a course that trained yours truly to be a section commander to lead fire fighters during fire incident. (If your place is on fire, you know who to call. (; of course 995 lah!) After passing out, I was selected to be an instructor, only to be from the administrative side, for the next seventeen months, which was nonetheless, fulfilling. During these two years, friendships were forged and, some, lost. However, I am working hard to gain back the lost friendships. (:
Talking about it, I was on this topic, "Friendship", with two of my friends a few days ago. "Do you realised that when you are in your late twenties, you will find it difficult to make life-time friend?" We had a good discussion about it and I shared my primary school Chinese teacher's saying with them, "Friendship that you forged, in primary school and secondary school, are the ones that will last you for a lifetime as it is forged without motives nor hidden agendas."
While some of the friendships that you made in tertiary education can last, majority are 'surface-friends'. They are people who tend to hang out with you in order to gain something from you, be it your assistance in studies or just ordering you around. Upon graduation, most will usually go their way and have their own life, excluding you from their life, only saying, "hi, how have you been? I am in a rush to *insert any excuses*" and off they go.
As hard and harsh as truth might be, I still think that a friendship will eventually be forged and is there to stay. After all, the friend and you will be 'together' for the next few years or so. On top of that, if you treat the friend nice and good, I am sure the result will be different. I always have this fantasy/beautiful image/philosophy of friendship: "If you are nice to people, they will, eventually, be nice to you." But, trust me, it does not apply to all cases after all. I had my fair share of falling down and picking myself up. I lost track of what I wanna type. Update another time. Ciao
