ode to my friends

i look back and marvel at how times have changed. technology, country, world and many more. one thing doesn’t change much from what i see though. i like to call them my friends. this is a dedication to those heroes and heroines, who have stood the test of time and tribulations. through thick and thin. they have stood by me or beside me or above me and below me. stood by me when we were as a team. beside me when i needed the support. above me when i needed a pull. below me when i needed a lift. we may have chosen different paths in life, but our bond remains steadfast. how long? only time will tell.

i recently had two days off and since my parents were in South Africa, i decided to re-setablish some loose ties between fellow mates. we wanted to visit redang island, but the tour agency wa such a rip-off. fools wanted to wash their hands clean of certain travel arrangements. how the hell is this suppose to help our tourism industry? how are we suppose to promote our country to foreigners, when we can’t even look after our own citizens. why the double standards practiced here? go figure. so much for the Cuti Cuti Malaysia campaign. millions on advertising wasted due to imbeciles. they’d better buck up and learn from our neighbours Thailand and Singapore. well, suffice to say, we ended up in good old Port Dickson again at the weekend house. thank goodness the grass was kept in check due to the dry bout recently. 3 glorious days at the beach. what was missing most of the time, was the crowd. i guess the tsunami really hit people hard, both mentally and spiritually. however, the saying holds true, less man more share.

i believe what my dad said is true. it’s not all about the place, it’s also the company. i really enjoyed our laughs and craziness. the bbq, the gin rummy league, the beachin and the seafood binge. forget about work for a bit and let loose. the irony of all this is, i’m typing this from work. it’s clear i have a lot of catching up to do. wish me luck.
