Reminiscence

CY: I'm not sure if you still read this blog. However if you do... Do you know what's so unforgettable about 7th July? I'm not sure if you do. If you don't, then it's fine. Today, I'm gonna reply what you wrote in my autograph book 4 yrs ago. 4 yrs seem so long ago, but to me, it seemed as though everything happened yesterday. Did you remeber that you were sad you had to leave NHPS? Did you remember you wrote that I'd have one less person to comfort me without you in class? The truth is, I didn't have one less person to comfort me. You became my best friend. You still comforted me via the emails we sent to one another. I've probably still got them somewhere in my inbox today. And after these 4 long years, I've got more people to comfort me.
Do you recall writing in my book, telling me to control my temper more? I can tell you today that I do not flare up as often as I did in the past. I can tell you that I've learnt to control the fire within me. I've learnt to tolerate certain inconviniences and inconsiderate acts. I've learnt to forgive. However, I'm still trying very hard to forget many of the unhappy incidents that happened after that day.
Today, I once again feel happy. I feel blessed to have great friends in school. Though I do not have many friends (probably a handful), I feel accepted when I'm with them. Sometimes, they cheer me up. They make me forget all my troubles. Sometimes they lend me a listening ear and a shoulder for me to cry when I'm sad. But it feels so different when they comfort me. It feels like something is missing. I guess this is because I still miss you after so many years. but I no longer miss you as badly as I did in the past...
