A cup of mocha

Derek: Yep. I should have called.
Sam: No...
Derek: I should have stayed in touch. It's my fault.
Sam: Hey, people move, they change. You know, we all do.

The weekend was spent with an old friend, sharing conversation about our past and present life. We talked about the things we did which would probably raise the eyebrows of many. It wasn’t bad or sinful. They were just daring, especially for girls like us. On face value, we would probably be the least to do such acts. Maybe we didn’t portray to have such energy, courage or perhaps, crazy thoughts. *lol*

Admittedly, I am no longer the same person as I was before, hence explains why I could only reconnect to a handful of people from the past. I dont pretend to be nice. However, the nature of my work teaches me to be civilised or handle sticky situation with due care. If I have to deal with someone I dislike for a good reason, I shall be diplomatic. Else, I just don’t bother. I could easily erase a person’s contact details without conscious.

For some people, those who truly deserve my friendship, it takes no effort for me to remember all the nitty gritty details about them. I memorise a friend’s phone number over the last 6-7 years and just realise that I never actually saved her detail in my mobile. I call her at least once a month or two and met her once in the last 5 years. I remember a few friends’ birthday and they are never recorded in my outlook diary or pda. I could recall the love stories of some and even that surprised them too.

We could not help ourselves from changing. Whether we like it or not, the experiences we had, the path we chose, they mould us to who we are. We should not expect people to accept us as chances are, most of them dont.

But for those who do, those who take effort to maintain the bond, those who let us shine and take pride that we have probably changed for the better, they are the ones who truly deserve our friendship.

And for these friends, I shall be by their side whenever they need someone to lift their spirits up, even if it is just making a cup of mocha.

*Ms B is still having problem sleeping, but at least she is not physically tired or mentally stressed. She managed to catch up two episodes of GA and Gossip girl last night, which was a true remedy. Oh, she also had a good time playing ‘cooking mama’ with Mini B.*
