Blank Thoughts

Last night, one of my closest friends messaged me saying that she was clearing her stuffs and came across some things that reminded her of how close we used to be, and then ended off saying that she misses me. That message sent me a pang of pain in my innards and I realised that I was swallowing a lump in my throat as I read the message.

I had been missing Shi & Kum even though we all carried on with our busy lives. I placed a photograph of us all beneath the glass pane on my desk at work, but that had dated back when I was just 18 years old. Even though we were all from different junior colleges, we were still close and kept in contact often. Times at school is somehow different... The feel is somehow different. We can be super busy with our work but we can still manage to find some time to meet up and do silly things. Busy but really happy times. But again, we had school holidays. We grow older, and we lack the energy to do just about anything other than.. work. So we get busy... and unhappy.

I miss my friends, and getting to know that they miss me too, made me miss them even more... And miss the times when we are all schooling...

They still remain as the closest friends that I ever had...

I'm done with reading The Da Vinci Code. WOW. I'm glad that I had bought the book. It was really a marvel!!!! I MUST watch that movie!!! I hope the show do justice to the story book. Can't wait for its release. Hm. Although it was explicitly indicated that the story's fictional, some parts of me hoped that it is not. Because it's controversial? Maybe! Everyone loves a controversy.

I just love the mysterious and dark feeling of the unveiled parts of history. And the possibility of another truth, another side of the frequently told story. Of course, I know there's no absolute truth. And I've learnt there's no history recorded that depicts the absolute truth of what had happened. (I've always like those lessons in University - "History is just but the relation of events in the past from the perspective of the dominant class..." Oooh!!! That dark feeling! Of the untold side of history burning to be unveiled...)

That's why I like mystery books I guess.

Although I had never liked History (& Kum can testify to that) and never scored in that subject, because I hate memorizing important dates and long weird-sounding names, the mystifying factor of what the present try to derive from the evidence left from the past is a draw. Especially the controversial and open-ended ones.

....ahh... Can't wait till 18th May!!
