Little thoughts..

So today i went for driving in the afternoon nd again my mind was not really focusing.. Like made alot of mistakes and i am very pissed with myself for being such a blur cock.. Oh wells..

After driving i met up with my son!! Hahaz!! It was a rather last minute plan but i had a GREAT chat with him.. Talking about the past, the present, did not really go to the future though.. Hahaz... There is so much that we can talk about when we are just catching up with one another.. We went for late lunch at like 4 and then headed to Coffee Bean to slack.. I ordered a Machiatto which i thought would come in a regular coffee mug, but i was so wrong.. It came in a expresso cup which was super small.. But it is super potent and super shoik! If you are not a coffee lover, then this is not your thing! Hahaz..

Anyway I went for Ian's POP yesterday and i must say, it is much better than the Home Team Academy... Hahaz... At least they are more organized and the commands are given with more commanding presence... I am so proud of Ian to have survived NINJA!! Wishing him all the best and i truly hope he will get into wherever he wants to be in.. =)Went to the POP with Ian's mum and we chatted like best friends please! Hahaz.. Then aunty made a comment, that now she finally gets to meet her friends again, catching up after not meeting up for a super long time..

This got me wondering, is this part and parcel of life?In secondary school, you see your friends daily in school, or class or even in your co-curricular activites.. After school you guys might hang out and on weekend might even meet up.. You spend most of your time with your friends.. Then you move on to college, tertiary or start working.. If you move on to the same place, good for all of you as you still get to see one another..

But if you go your seperate ways, then things are different.. You make new friends, you have different time-table and activities, different commitments.. Lifestyle has changed, things have changed.. You have more things to handle and have less time for one another.. More friends in your social life, more activities in your life and etc.. Hence you meet up lesser as compared to secondary school years as we are all so busy..

Then when all the education is achieved, you move on to building your career, getting married, having kids and completing a family.. Priorities has changed, family and work comes in first, friends are placed aside.. Not because you want to, but because you have to in order to have sufficient time for your kids and spouse.. Not forgetting your parents and siblings.. You RARELY get to meet up with your friends as you are so overwhelmed with all these on hand.. Not meeting up can range from months to years.. This, is a common sight...

Then once your children are big enough, they move on with life, get busy with their own friends and activities, you are more stable with work, more slack as well, you have more time to yourself.. That is when friends come into the picture again.. You get to meet them again, catch up with one another after many years and see how each has changed or moved on...This is a very common sight..

At least for me when i see my parents.. It is nothing to be sad about, nothing much that can be done, but how i so wish i could make a difference.. That no matter what, i would always have time to meet up with my friends, without having to sacrifice family or work.. But then again, in reality, we do not live in a perfect world..

Sometimes the things that we want so much might not be what others want as much.. Don't you agree?
