WalkHome.
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
Hello everyone.
Some of you may find this shocking but i just got home from Temasek Poly. And no i didn't go there for whatever you think i did. I went to meet Shan and his Anti-ICG clan. Lol. I didn't realise how much i missed him until i saw him walking down from the bridge. Our hug was pretty long and warmer than usual. Some background information. Shan's a boy i met when i was in St Marg's and he was in SJI. He's a year younger and a lifetime wiser than me. Generally everyone's wiser than myself but he's different. He's always been there for me. Never once did he let me down. We've got this thing, where we know when either one of us is not okay. We'll call each other up just to see if that hunch was accurate which most of the time, was the case. I listen to everything he says to me and i'll do anything he asks me to. Simply because, everytime i take his advice and do as he asks me to, i become better and somewhat, stonger. The only time i decided not to listen to him and give in to my temptations, i screwed EVERYTHING up. Even then, he was willing to help me clear up my mess. I see him as a brother. I've never seen anyone as a brother other than my real one. But Shan can't be classified as a friend. I've never had the trouble of him bitching behind my back and vice versa WHICH IS some very extraordinary coming from me. Just like how i see my girls as my sisters.
So after watching him dance and having all his friends tease me about their school's ICG president and after sufferring the embarrassment(didn't really mind that) of them calling me Arun's ex(never was never will be) we decided to leave. Believe it or not, we undertook this journey. We walked home from TP. All the way. We walked and talked and now, my legs feel non-existent. I was so hungry halfway that he thought i was going to faint and suggested carrying me. Of course i wouldn't let him do something like that and make him suffer! Lol.
We talked about a lot of things. I feel so free and happy now. He's a walking reminder to me that no matter how much we all change, there'll always be that memory of the whole group of us, Arch, Reka, Gaya, Arun, Naven, Shan, Murale and I, hanging out after school, talking, playing, laughing and occassionally studying. All the concerts we went for at SJI and StMarg's and even TP and PJC. The birthdays we celebrated and the late night cycling to really far off places. I can assure you, our memories of those days will always, always be with us. It serves as a reminder to us that things may change but we'll always be that little gang from TPY Macs.
We'll always have each others' backs. Always.On that note, I'm going off to watch Gossip Girl and then straight to bed. Long day tomorrow. Pongal plus i have to clean up the house and take king for a walk and then meet Prema and go and teach Narein after that.
Remember to reflect on your friendships and your early teenage years. We're all growing up so fast that we often forget that these memories keep us forever young at heart. Botox will take care of the rest.
Happy Pongal and good night!
LoveLots,
Ragini(:
