Down fer life?

30 years down the road, us guys gathered together on a sat night in yan's absofuckinlutely killa of a crib guzzling down beer with huge habanos cigars plonked in between our fingers. Is that too ostentatious a thought to fathom? Well all im hopin for is that 30 on, not only will i have a family to come home to, but also to be able to turn to the same group of friends that i've known since i was 15. Not that im gauched or anti social but given a choice i'd rather stick with my present group den make any new friends. The group with which i've had so much ups and downs with, the group with which will go through life with me and the group who my childrens' godparents will come from.

How some people can show such wanton obliviousness to the value of friendship i really dun get and its something i never will. One reason why im posting this right now i admit is cause im feelin quite left out but ultimately all im askin for is that the group stays together. Everyone has a girl in their life to which their attention is fixated upon, some more than others. "Sorry, gotta send her home, oh im not spending enough time with her, she misses me", phrases i've heard one too many times. I know im exhibiting a paucity of empathy and the slightest bit(yeah right) of selfishness alas its something that fustrates me so much that im voicing it out. Im not askin you to dump or ignore your girls, i might as well embark on a campaign of genocide. My humble request is for ya'll not to neglect the friendship.

I can't say this friendship is perfect, no its definately not. To put it crudely, this bond that holds our group together is an amalgam of factors that range from the candidness of jason chan to the "imma kick yo ass" yan threatens jason with. We're all so different in terms of personalities and interests and yet i feel so strongly about this bond, so much so that i really cant imagine life without ya'll.

Perhaps the greatest barrier standing against this friendship withstanding the test of time is the essential quest for educational acme. Yan will be leavin for London come sept, the guys in ac have their A's and who knows where they'll do their undergraduate course at, will i leave Singapore for my degree, will joe find new company in design school, where will keef further his studies at?

Its not that i enjoy all this prattling, its the value i place on this bond that drove me to write this. Whereva we end up next time, i jus wanna take this opportunity to let ya'll know that never will i find better friends than you guys. Dare i say this? We down fer life or what.

P.S yan, get yo ass back in Singapore on the double!!!
