Friendship takes lots of time to foster… That is what I always believe that I often put my friends in the first place at most of the time. Family members are also very important to me but when you talk about finding a person that has the same interest with you, a person to share his or her views about your problem with you, friends is what you need to have.

They are just like your brothers and sisters, your kin that you hope to have sometimes. For instance, Eugene is just like a brother to me. Just that I can believe the fact that when we were in Secondary school, there’s once when some guy say that he looked like my elder brother, which I supposed to be older. ~.~” Never mind… Well, I shall continue about Thursday’s happenings.

As usual, I went back to Canberra Secondary to do my reports. I was trying to find a good place to do my stuff but still, I failed. I only managed to complete two paragraphs for my report. Gosh! I was really sick and tired of reports for once and I need to do something to make me feel energetic. Then, came Yun Ting’s phone call about night’s gathering for Eugene, a day before he head for camp.

I was okay with it until Christina called and say that it is a must come gathering. She sounded like the world is gonna end, stating that its Eugene’s last dinner… Diao… Christina… Maybe you can brush up your English for awhile… Haha…

Well, I met Eugene at Yishun MRT station and we head down to Northpoint to gather with the rest. Yun Ting, Ivy and Kian Wee were there so we went to Long John Silver for dinner. That was the place where we had all the birthday celebrations held last year. It was fun and seriously, it was back to memory lane.

Dinner ends and we walked around Northpoint for the last time before heading home. I was helping Eugene to find briefs for his camp since he thinks he might need it for being away in the next 3 weeks. Since the colours were not matched, we decide to do some exchange with the other packages. Haha…

We had a walk at the Pasar Malam before they went back home. I waited for Auntie Emily to pass her favourite Herbal Egg for her since she’s hungry. By the time I reached home, it was like soon to be 11pm. Well, nothing else to do and I have no concentration to do my stuff, I went back to sleep.

I woke up at 5 plus to do my report and send an SMS to Eugene to wish him a final good luck for the day. Everything was fine but during noon, I was so tired that I reached home and took my nap. That was an enjoyable nap as I have been feeling tired these days for sleeping late at night to rush my reports.

Soccer was at night and I guess the team did missed Yang and Eugene. We played quite terribly at the beginning but slowly, one by one, we stick the pieces together to play a good match. I scored a nice goal, with a one-two passing with Jimmy before slotting the ball to the right corner of the goal post. At the end of the match, we won the score line of 9-3 I guess. I only scored once. Jimmy had a few, so as Andy but with lots of missed chances.

While on the way to Macdonalds, Eugene called and it was a nice 5 minutes chat with him. Haha… After that, we had our meals and we went to our respective homes soon after. I had a good chat with Andy that night, not just about soccer but also other issues outside the pitch.

I dare to admit in this entry that I hate his playing style that night in the game. There were a lot of solo efforts and lots of misses, which I cannot tolerate such things to happen. I had to be honest with him of my displeasure but he had his own too towards me. I believe even open goals with a miss is a terrible day for the team sometimes…

Once the game was over, it was personal issues. Yes, he changed, in many ways. Behaviour, character… His words, his attitude… I just hope that whatever I said, he could think of ways to change himself. I try to put things in my own perspective but sometimes, emphasizing on what the rest in the class feels could be better.

I hope he understands what changes he needs to have and seriously, the class does care about him. Concern is something that one will not see… It is intangible… Only the person himself or herself can do great wonders to their own character, change for the better or worst.

For once Andy, my words, are not wisdom, not rubbish either. My words, is just a form of showing my concern towards a friend, towards an old buddy that I had met many years ago… Cheers dude! =]
