[ From my emails]
There is something interesting going on among my close friends.
pretty interesting, got time why not take a peek ?
I'll cut & paste from my emails.
it started with an email forwarded to me.
It talked abt pessimistic views on life when one grows up.
can't remember the whole thing but it something abt missing out on many things as one grows up..
Hence decided to give my two cents worth, here's what i wrote :
__________________________________________________________
"alamak, so pessimistic..
for me, as i matured, i learnt that there is something so beautifuL that a
stranger can give when a chemistry occurs -- Love.
As i matured, i learnt grandma, Dad & Mummy are getting old & we should give
back what they have endowed on us when we are young -- Kinship.
As i matured, i learnt that some friendships can be forever if both parties
accept & appreciate each other for what we are -- Friendship.
see.. ther are many beauties in the world,
you just have to open your eyes..
keep smiling Friends"

My friend (girl) wrote something back, chim-mer than mine :
"Hi to all, I never think that this will become a startup for a discussion session, but oh well, here is my share of thoughts.
As I mature, I see the unconditional giving that my family has poured to me through the years - that is True Love.
As I mature, I feel the warmth of friends who stay by my side when catastrophes happen & they think about me when organising a fun activity together - that is Laughter.
As I mature, I know that there are another group of friends, who on a deeper level, will avail themselves to me at any time of the day. These are people whom I know will be there, ready to give a listening ear/a shoulder to cry on, without a second word - that is Friendship.
As I mature, I find my purpose to live in this world & so I live each day with a deeper sense of responsibiliy and meaning, no longer breathing aimlessly. At the end of my journey, I want to look back, give myself a pat on the back and say,"Well done!" - that is Life.
As I mature, I see a someone who loves me despite all my bad moments. A someone whom I have a relationship with, which at times, I may waver, but He stays faithful just loving me and carrying me through the storms in my life - that is Pefect Love.
& in a nutshell, they are Blessings.
God bless"

Then another friend (guy) wrote this back :
"Hmm , why suddenly everyone feel so sentimental. Haha maybe i should wrote some word of wisdom.
As I mature, I see less and less of my toes( while standing) - that is "Fu2 Qi4"
As I mature, I use less and less shampoo- that is wisdom
As I mature, I have less and less dreams - that is enlightenment.
As I mature, I spend less and less time resting - that is self actualization.
Despite all these I found that as I mature , the hand that has been holding mine for years is tightening her grip~ and to me that is love.
"I love you dear."
( Special dedication lah, dun shiver leh the rest) "
