" My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life."
-- Lee Iacocca

Well, then i guess, at this point in time of my life, i do have a pretty great life, cos i do have this group of friends, true friends, whom i know i can count on anytime. It really doesn't matter where i am, whether i'm in Singapore or Perth or whether my friends are in Singapore or in Perth. It doesn't matter how physically far we are, neither does it matter how long i've come to know them. Whether it may be 8 years, 4 years or even 4 months.. as the saying goes "the depth of a friendship does not depend on the length of acquaintance."

Friendship, it is such an amazing thing isn't it? There are many people in our life. Some who stay, some who leave, some who will come back after awhile.. And, some of them.. They just make a difference in my life in their own ways. They are the ones whom i can count on, the ones who will always be there.

Funny how i find myself always missing my friends, no matter where i am. When i'm in Perth, i miss my friends back home. When i'm in Singapore, i miss my friends back in Perth. Ahh.. all these 'missing' business...

I truly thank God for these friends.

Now that i'm about to return to Perth pretty soon. It's time to say 'see you again at the end of year'... I guess, no matter how many times i've said it, goodbyes/see-you-agains are never an easy thing to say. It just doesn't get better with practice.. But then again, i take comfort in that i will see them all again at the end of the year... And also, i'll get to see my friends that i miss back in Perth again :)

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
