darn

hi all i just wrote comments to everyone in reply to jo's latest post and then realised it could have been a blog post in itself, so read it to make my effort not in vain. chim is dearly wishing for some familiar female bonding with you all again. it's just not the same without the cheekygirls together. at least i know you know i'm weird and shameless and retarded. here's the visitor i was telling shu ping about, ryan, rather quiet and humanz-y american but a cutie nonetheless:

what do you guys think of fleeting friendships? the people i'm closest to, the ones whom i'll make an effort to see if i should learn that i'm going to die the next day, are the ones who've been with me longest leh. somehow i don' think my disappearance will make much of a difference to people i've met in the past few months. that's the way life works? you need time? but life's so short and each stage of our bloody lives is getting shorter and shorter, so much so that i've no idea who i've really connected with in that short space of time i knew that person. I'm thinking about all this cos i've been reflecting on the american system where you go to classes with many different people cos no fixed classroom system like singapore. And i'm so grateful for our system cos it's so much more personal i feel. but more cocoon-like, and so maybe we don't bother breaking out of our individual spheres in our lives, and our incestuous circles perpetuate. but should we bother connecting with people dissimilar to ourselves? is it even possible? birds of a feather flock together... rambling now cos of lack of sleep. apologies my babes.
