Its a pink Monday (粉红色星期一）
Today is a pink Monday(its not blue, hehe) for me, as it is a school holiday, & I don't have to subject myself to mountains of work & classes of screaming kids. I have already made a vow to myself not to work during days when I'm not in school. This is to maintain a sound mind & to get the priorities in my life right. Life is short, & thus the priorities in my life right now are as follow:
Number 1- God & only him alone.
Number 2- Boyfriend, future husband & family.
Number 3- All my true friends & those who made effort to maintain contact & build relationship with me.
I'm really glad that despite growing older in age, I still have many friends whom I can look for & go out with despite their commitments with work & family. Today, I went out with SW(who is married with a boy) & SL(who is still single). We went for a 1-1 lunch buffet at Orchard Hotel. It was of course a sumptuous meal & I enjoy our conversations very much as I got to learn about how other people in this world live their life & even subject themselves to certain kind of relationship & marriage life. Our conversations are fun, intellectual, sentimental & gossipy at the same time. When a group of Ts get together...........hahaha.
As I finish my day shopping alone at square 2 & buying a book & a gift, I start to think about some friends & some kind of friendship in my life. Something that Pastor said about friends still entrenched itself deep in my mind. And that is some friends are just "Friends of Convenience".
Now I understand why some flames of friendship will slowly die off & friends will slowly drift apart after they are not in the same organization or same social group. Many friends in our life are just friends of convenience. Once both of you are not in the same organization, not in the same kind of environment & circumstances, you won't contact each other anymore, you won't put in effort to meet up & maintain the relationship anymore.
And thus I find myself very blessed that I still have around 5-10 friends whom I can really count as my true friends, as both of us put in effort to meet up & maintain this friendship & I believe I can still count on them in whatever situations.
