(My group mates - Me, Seyen, Philip, Gary's missing cause he had class)Speech class has finally ended. I'm pretty relieved to be honest. not because i still have speech jitters, but preparing for a speech is pretty tough i would say!
I would like to thank my group mates for being such wonderful people. Without them, I'm sure our final speech would have reached no where.
Although Philip was always late for meetings, didn't finish his work, but somehow, every single time he would get away with it. I don't know why, he just has this face that makes you unable to get mad at him! haha. But his brilliant speech delivery today somehow repaid our efforts though xD
Apart from the heavy workload to get the final speech outline drafted, I had quite a lot of fun because i was giving a speech on a topic i was enthusiastic about - A New Generation of Voters.
In speech class, I met many new faces. And we've all turned into friends since. Something i would like to express my feelings with in this post. (its not ''emo'' , don't describe me with that term, i just hate it) Well, basically it's how i feel. So bare with me for a little.
Hundreds of people walk by us every single day, but how many of them actually turn out to be close friends of ours? (shit, speech class has really gotten into me, i even use speech techniques in writing a sentence in my blog! ) erm, the point I would like to make is, that friends are rare and its not often you find friends close enough to you to share everything with.
Therefore, erm... close friends are rare -___-'
Let me continue with a story.
R was in form 1, and R was very close friends with this other boy. They went to recess together, played table tennis together (although R always got his ass kicked by his friend), and enjoyed each others company (not gay la ..!..). Then R's close friend fell in love with this girl, he asked R for help. R did help him, but to no avail. Soon in time, the girl fell for R instead. (R too charming already, cannot blame)
Oh well, R was pretty uncertain at first. But, there was this table tennis competition at that time. R's close friend then joined, R didn't (cause he sucked too much in table tennis, although he improved later on and was capable of playing like a PRO) ok, that's not the point.
So as R's close friend went for the competition, R took the chance and got together with the girl his close friend liked. WTF! dam 'jin kak' right? (I also cannot tahan) But R was so darn stupid, despite the fact that he was just 13 yrs old, he thought he could actually hide his relationship with the girl from his close friend. -.- (R was such an imbecile, i know)
Yes, his friend soon found out, was so pissed with R, and they never talked to each other since.
Dear readers, yes, you've guessed it. R in the story, was me. (duh, R=Roy)
I'm only telling this out in now in detail after so many years, is because i am too ashamed about it to speak of it. Whenever someone asks if i have any regrets in my life, yes, this is the one regret i have and that i will never forget. How stupid could i be? tarnishing the friendship i had with a close friend because of a girl. It wasn't worth it. I hope i could make up to him somehow, for my actions, but i just don't know how. We hadn't talked to each other since form 1, and i don't know his whereabouts today. Sorry is the only miserable word I can mutter out this moment.

The reason i told you all this story, was because I wanted to tell you how important friends are to us, and how a simple misunderstanding can cause this valuable bond to break in an instance (though the above story wasn't a misunderstanding, its has d same connotations xD)
(Tim and carien missing here, but they're still included in the story hehe)
Eu-Roy you look so short today! Yerr Eu-Roy you wear like beggar lah today! Eu-Roy your the laziest person i ever met!!!!! Eu-Roy that girl will never like you lah come on! Eh Eu-Roy please lah, get a prom date for god's sake you lonely freak! WALAU eu-roy u got EX-girlfriend before ah? UNBELIEVABLE LEH!
...
These are the jokes that really strengthen the bonds we have. Something I will surely miss if we can no longer talk about all these things.
For of all the million's of people that have passed by me through my lifetime, God has given us the opportunity for us to be friends, not strangers we once were. Hopefully, nobody or nothing will be strong enough to take what God has given to us away.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."
