the baru year and me

well it's the new year once again ... and so we have just completed 12 months of wonderful times ,with memories, friends and families . now it's 2011 and Monday is a working day and some of us do work on Sundays too ...


i was telling a friend of mine that the most wonderful gift that i could ever receive is the gift of friendship ... well, we met friends along the way .. we lost some too , some got back in touch with us and these friendships grew ... and talking about growing together with friends .. i am reminded of some of the friends that i have met along the way through college ...


by nature i am quite shy ... so when i first got into college , i did not have any friends . i started with one , and then there was two and three came along and before i knew it or before we knew it , we had more than a dozen ....


it's quite funny how from one , we expanded our circle of friends ... then came the most important event of our lives .. we graduated , went our separate ways .. got on with life .. kept busy with work ... got married and some did not and finally we lost touch with everyone and then you are back to square one with just a friend.


and that friend and i kept constantly in touch .... and now after twenty years we are still friends .. however we were missing a friend and for these past 20 years we were wondering what happened to this friends of ours .....

until one day .... just 4 days ago .. yes we were still in 2010 , i logged into face book and there he was ..... he got my name wrong as usual .. but actually he was just teasing me !!!

wonderful the missing friend has found us ... we had a wonderful gift that day .. the gift of friends and friendship ... it is amazing how connected we are .. even through the next day .. we were just smiling away .. even driving , i was smiling , i just could not believe it . i was wondering how this tiga sekawan got in touch with each other after so long ....


i should thank face book though .. but all the same .. we spoke to each other and it was truly amazing ..

so i hope that this year 2011 , would bring all of us not only closer but many , many more friends to come .... it does not matter , as long as we stay in touch with one another ..

happy new year ....
