the truth is that more often than not your good friends are the people that you spend the most time with (as opposed to the common belief that you all became good friends thats why you all spend a lot of time together). it has little to do w character (of course if u totally abhor the person den no choice). simple test if u r in hall: u will find that most of your good friends are from your floor/ same activity that you join. (disclaimer: this theory only applies to "good friends" but not "BFFs/ BFFEs" between girls that i have trouble understanding)
this observation is something that i am afraid of after doing command and my last DU. As people move out of hall, it will be very hard for us to meet up and hang out.and all these friendships will just slowly fade into background as your new life gets filled w new people and new tasks. maintaining these relationships will require so much effort that i am worried that i myself would not be able keep up. the worst thing that could happen is not that friends grow hatred for each other but rather friends just slowly start to forget about each other and the memories they share together.
to moses, ycl-aymore and kane: thanks for all the suppers and mw2 sessions. you guys are the simplest and nicest guys i know. and by simple i don't mean u guys are innocent or stupid but rather u guys choose to be simple and true to yourself in this complicated world and i respect you guys for that. kane although u like to nit ppl i am glad that i get to know u much bttr in uni. gaylouz forever! ycl and moses thanks for being brothers in Christ and supporting me in my walk. moses and gracy tian chang di jiu pls and ycl we compete who gets attached first ok? oh and shout out to bear bear too: thanks for being such good friends in MSE. without bear bear, moses n kane i would have missed a ton of deadlines and failed like 100 MCs worth of modules.
to alexis and chunting: thanks for hanging out w me when i've got no friends in hall after coming back for noc. suddenly i transform from a loser w no friends to always having 2 hot girls arnd.

to dancers who have left hall prematurely (bixies and melly)(sry i cant find a better name for this group of people hahaaaa): really enjoyed hanging out and dancing w u guys (dance comm and partner!) when u guys were still in hall. i am really glad that we are still in contact though it is really hard for us to meet up (*ahem* mel). Glad to see you guys during command! must keep in touch!
to 3rd floorers 07/08 (luah, dy, arthur, tim, zhiping, nicky): ystd during block command i keep wondering how would it be like to command w u guys. Not to discount the block or anithing but honestly the best time i had in block was w u guys. i will rmb all the random rooftop sessions, CS sessions and chiong sessions. family...family thats what...
to NOC peeps (milpitas household esp.): it has been a great journey w all of u. dunno abt u guys but i damn gian to go back to california. ANYWAY really glad to share so much good times w each of u and i know many of u are working on the next big thing and i am sure u all will be very successful. haha nxt time u all get featured in times or newsweek or techcrunch i can tell other people "actually he not that seh one he last time my housemate..." hahahaha
to all gaylouz: sorry for not being a very good friend to all of u but i will try my best to make it up. we have known each other for so long and been through so many things. we are more like brothers than friends. if there is anything that i can help/ share the burden pls let me know. more meet ups pls and cherish our time together...
we must try our best to maintain our friendships ok! i know i am not the friendliest of ppl so help me out! finally a big thank you for being my friend thru all these years.
The opposite of love is not hate,
it's indifference.
