friend

I kind of had this trip down memory lane on the friends i have, and had (temporarily missing, moga Allah mempertemukan kami semua semula. amin). Along the way, i discovered (fuyoo discover..) just how much my friends had taught me, and indirectly made me today...

owh, i wont tell their name. nanti kembang hidung sapa nak tanggung!haha.

1. Friend #1 and Friend #2 :
owh how i miss them. 'cause they taught me on the meaning of sharing. waaay before the phrase 'sharing is caring' even existed..hah.

this was during my primary school years. little boys in little boys school. ;p
during those days, we only had rm1 for duet belanja kantin. so minus the usual nasi lemak and drinks, we were normally left with 4o cents.

it should be enough if we want to buy some extra gile sedap keropok lekor, but then again, we need to save at least 30 cents for kelas ngaji in the afternoon (to buy our usual junk food...hihi).

so what we did was, almost everyday, all 3 of us will take turn daily to buy the 10 cent keropok lekor (one piece) and break it into 3 pieces! :) . that way, we could have that extra keropok lekor and at the same time, still have enough money to be spent afterward!

2. friend #3

this one is special. special in terms of how the friendship actually started.

life is funny sometimes. you'll never know your biggest enemy could somehow turned out to be your closest friend. With this friend #3, we start our friendship with a fight.

we were young, only 13. i blame the developing hormones. haha. i cant remember the reason why, i can clearly remember how bad the fight was with my friend here. we werent even started being friends by then, only strangers. and that fight clearly marked the end of any possibilities for both of us to be buddies.

or so i thought.

i didnt speak with him for whole 4 years, even though we're schoolmates...classmates...and even dorm mates etc. we were total strangers.

then, (should i say fate?), during class seating arrangement, i found out he'll be sitting next to me! like 2 inches from me, everyday for the rest of the school year. but alhamdullillah, i think the decision to stay put and not change my seat was right. even though i had to go through some awkward months in my life, i'm glad that those awkwardness has finally turned into a lifetime friendship....

and today, i have to say, he's the one i contacted the most out of my school friends (owh, starian-utpian tak kira!).

3. friend #4

this one is also special. he taught me alot. I could go on babbling on he things he'd shared, like always be true to yourselves, treat everyone equally and so on...

but one thing that really stuck with me until now is that how much he believes in me. i was never the valedictorian bunch (smart guys), nor the athletes, and never the cool gang.

and yet he could see something in me, which i doubt myself.

thrust me, you will want to trade half of your so-called friends (or more) to have this one with you. Life can be challenging sometimes, and who is better (to be on your side) than a friend who will be there for you, ready pick you up? :)

friend #5

this one i met 4 years ago. we were in sync the moment we knew each other. one thing i certainly admire, up to a point where sometimes i am mad jealous (haha) at him is that how moderate he is. Hidup bersederhana. He doesnt need expensive clothes to make him happy. He value his things more than i ever did with my stuffs. there was one time i accidentally lost his mini stapler, he was mad like crazy since he had the stapler since a long time ago (i cant remember) and losing it kinda feel like losing something very important.

btw, saya masih belum ganti balek stapler yang hilang tuh! yikes~

friend #6

finally, there's this one, called the 6th!. owh, how should i start?

if human heart can be made using gold, then my friend here surely has a heart that are made from 100% pure gold.

the way he treat his family, the way he treat his friends, the way he treat every single person around him, sometimes i wonder whether he ever has a single hatred in him.

from him,
i learn to love my family more.
i learn not to be a selfish brat i sometimes am.
i learn friendship is how about how much i could give rather than how much i can get.

and the list could go on forever. ;p

......................................................................................................................................................

owh, i'll stop at #6- not that i only have 6 friends (hahaha) , but these are some that had made the most impact on me. ;p

ya Allah,
for the friends i had lost, help me to recover them
for the ones i still has the pleasure knowing, make it last for a lifetime.
for the ones i have yet to discover, bless us.

amin.
