Friends

lim peh ka li kong

In our hectic and fast moving society today, true friends have never been easy to find; Having a true friend may, due to our daily chores and working lives, then drift apart and gradually become not as close as we used to be.

When we were in our schooldays, we had some very close-friends and we may even have vowed to be friends forever.

I can proudly say, "Yeah, I still have 2 very close friends (we have known one another since our day one in our primary one class - a long 33 years till today) whereby we will meet once in every few months.

In my mind, I always think that friends are easy to make but true friends are hard to come by.

Then, by accident I stumbled into Yahoo Message Boards without the slightest idea what YMB is all about.

Reading the threads; Seeing the angry arguments; Shake my head with a saddened heart - Singaporeans!?!

After a short period of less than 2 months, through the communication via YMB, I made many friends, although in this cyberspace, all are faceless : Gender? Age? Size? Race? Nationalilty? Professional? But I know I have made many friends though they, like old beng, have no idea who I am in actual life but cyberly speaking, we are friends and that brings out a smile from my heart.
