Friends stay

It's always fun (and worthwhile) to catch up with old friends. We might stop hanging out with them for one reason or two. We might have different path of life that forces us not to have contact as much as we used to have.
But true friends stay. In our heart.

These days have been wonderful. My dear best friend came to Melbourne for a training. We didn't plan that to happen, it just happened. It's been a year that we didn't see each other and we ended up meeting in Melbourne. I am very happy to see how she has grown up. I do hope she will be having more successful years ahead.

Tonight, I was pretty anxious meeting my Australian old friends back in my YSEP year. We did have something in common; we spent sometime being aliens in a faraway country. But I was worried that 3 years are just far too long for us to even recognize each other. But again, true friends stay. To me, they are still the same person I used to know. They are STILL my friends. They've crossed my path. Catching up and being updated to what each other has been up over the last couple years we didn't have chance to meet time are always great.

Being reminded to catch up with other friends who have been a little bit "invisible". We never know if a word of hello might mean a lot at the time being.
