recently (ok not that recently. a couple of mths alr. just that i got no time to type this down!) one of my fren got into a relationship. with his primary school friend.
sounds like a normal news to a typical joe, but then it stuck an ultra-deep chord within me. I mean, who would even keep in touch constantly with a primary school friend since childhood? Maybe in the past, but in today's era, especially in a developed nation, where everyone is just too busy for anyone else, it would already be fantastic to be able to even recover our primary school friends' contacts, much less to say keep in contact all these while.
i still have primary school friends in contact, but at some stage of my life i lost them, where i went busy with my stuff and they went on with theirs. reason for us getting together? cos we bump into each other in university. probably. not like we specially keep in touch as friends.
so i went on to remember my days with him. while he seems like a happy go lucky guy, his schedule packed with ccas, games, his close buddies, anyone would think he is probably one of those hipsters you would see in town. no one would expect him to have a female close friend to talk to. he didn't even have a crush on anyone he saw in school!
being close friends together for a good 14 years. it is really not easy. much less develop a special kind of relationship that lasts for that long. and when news of them getting together finally came, it just sounded like 有情人终成眷属. literally. it just practically proved to themselves that they have been through all the obstacles to be deemed fit to be together.
it's one of the best relationships i ever witnessed. they really deserved each other. i give them my blessings. (ok they may not know it haha)
