Quotes on Friendships

Below are some of the quotes about friendships which I've found meaningful! :P

Albert Camus
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Margaret Lee Runbeck
"Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. "

Henry David Thoreau
"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."

"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his friend."

Aristotle
"Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit."

Blessing in Disguise

I just can't believe I could not stop blogging! Thoughts just keep coming!

The road trip we've had was very eventful:

1) Started with the lost of an iphone 4 and a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 during our adventure trip into one of the natural cave in Ipoh. (Both the phones was water damaged due to leakage in a resealable bag!) Thank God for saving the Xperia X10, but the iphone 4 was claimed to be dead. Seriously still hoping it'll function miraculously after some time.

2) Followed by a car accident in Singapore, where the bumper of the car was ripped off, and some dents at the body of the car. Thank God again for protection that none of us got injured.

Well, some of these events might have happened due to our own faults. But it did remind me of God's blessings in our lives. Material things that we possessed might be lost due to various incidents, but the relationships and friendships are for a whole life time! God indeed had awakened me of how blessed I am with the people that He has placed in my life! None of you have came across my path by accident, God has placed you here for a reason!

Will I be a blessing in your life?! I do hope so!

Great Start of the Year!

I've been feeling a little emotional for the past few days. Ever since the final closing of the road trip. This trip (refer to previous post) has indeed foster the bonds between the 5 of us! We've got to know each other better through the midnight sharings and laughters.

My life now just feel so much emptiness without their presence. I know, we'll be meeting each other in like 3-4 weeks time. But things are just gonna be different! We might not be able to meet each other so frequently due to commitments in studies and church. I seriously do hope that in this new year of 2011, I'll make sure I'll be there to encourage them and spur them as we grow close in Him! And I do hope that we can cherish every moments that we still have together (before any of us graduate and head somewhere else)!




Indeed, this is a great start of the year! Hopefully the coming months are gonna be better!

Friendships

Another year has yet passed! It was such a great start of the year to spend time with a bunch of your friends. Travelling around together has indeed opened up ourselves for sharing, laughters, tears, frights and joy! It's only been a day since we all last met (and to one 5 days), and yet, I'm missing you guys!

The fun trip started all the way up north in Penang, where we got stuffed with window shopping, food, the crazy driving around, jet ski and banana boat rides. There after, in Ipoh with much more food, more window shopping, climbing up and down in the pitch-black cave of Ipoh, visits to some of the tourist attractions. We have definitely gained lots of weight throughout. The journey continued down south to KL, where we get to experience the unwanted technical problems in the LRT, where doors do not open when they supposed to! We had much fun walking around in major shopping complexes, visited Sunway Lagoon where they snatch your money like crazy! Nevertheless, we experienced and challenged ourselves to the max, with three Tomahawks rides in a row, two pirate ship rides and reverse bungee ride for 2! :P Fun fun fun!

The trip continues with our last pit stop at Singapore. We've been brought to lots of shopping places, and INTERESTING food - fried mars bars, bak chor mee, chili crabs... And all the cars were parked as if they are in show rooms! Shiny floors, cars, toilets, heart-to-heart talks are still freshly in my mind! Indeed, what a nice 2 weeks! Thanks guys for being there and the accompaniment! I sincerely hope that we can all cherish these friendships and encourage one another as we journey through the years!
