just by flipping through the pages of her photo album brought me back to childhood... whenever people asked me, "what regrets do you have so far?" i always replied nothing; what is meant to happen will happen. destined. however, recently when i thought of this question again, i regretted not going to my good old friend's secondary school to study normal academic. i chose to study in the express stream, at a school selected by the government due to my poor PSLE results. why do i look back and regret? simply because there wasn't much to reminisce about my high school. the people whom i was close to back then, i am still pretty much in contact with them, and they have a special place in my heart. as for the school itself, i really cannot state anything that makes me miss the building at all. maybe because there wasn't much unity in the classes which i belonged to. or perhaps, the fun times were always after school. (i'm the kind of person who doesn't like to stay longer in school without a valid reason) frankly, not even a thing that makes me wanna go back there. okie, if i think deeper, maybe basketball? yeah, i developed my liking for basketball when i was in high school...

hanging around my old pal's ex-classmates made me feel like a part of them which most of the time i would really envy their class unity!

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
