Back with a post.
been posting pretty frequently.



was doing my chemistry papers earlier on when something on msn caught my attention.
One of my badminton seniors, from Nanyang, had just updated her blog.
She was my captain when i were playing as 1st year.

I gotta say,
she's a really wonderful leader, senior and friend.
The 1 year i had in the team with her was a really fruitful one.

it was a pretty bad year, with lots of conflicts and troubles,
but she stood by my friends and I, went through all of it with us.
A really nice person, someone i can vouch for anytime.



so anyway, read her post, and so it seems like it has something to do with yet another my senior.
It is a HER, who was in the same team as my ex-captain and I.
Let's just call my ex-captain and Y and her as X.

On that post, Y was recounting how she had spent the mooncake festival night with X.
Then, it was when she jotted down, X is now in a downturn in her life.
(Anyway, i'm not 100% sure it's X, but from the names and descriptions, I'm 80% positive. )

Apparently, X and Y are having a not so good time in university.
They happen to be in the same course for now, for the first year.
X is being misunderstood by her uni-mates and it was Y she turned to.
Yet, she was afraid to go to Y at the same time,
afraid of troubling Y when the schedule and day is already so tiring.
It didn't took long for Y to realise how X felt.

so, that's the outline more or less.



What really made me silent isn't anything else,
but how the bond is between X and Y and between everyone else.


No 2 person in the world thinks in exactly the same frequency.
What you want, might not be what the other person wants.
What you thought was alright, might be offending to another person.
Situations like these often manifested into huge misunderstandings and these not only happen between friends, but within families as well.


Think about this.
How many times had your mum/dad did something and you really don't like it?
I'm pretty sure you'll be ready to start off a list.
Now, think about.
Had it been a bit too rash with your thoughts/actions back then?

Now, think about this.
How strong exactly, are the bonds between you and your family, and your friends?

Like what i've read off a GP essay,

The greatest challenge poised today,
is nothing but the weakest link amongst humans.


Like gold,
if you spend time taking care of all the relationships and bonds,'
it'll shine like the brightest start.
Leave it alone,
it starts to dull.

Gotta go.
but before that,
Thank you, Y.
You've given me yet another great lesson.
