Nobody's ever gonna see this so, whatev
You probably heard about the talking yellow sponge. I love that dude, mate. He's like, so dang awesome. I'm ready, I'm ready! ;D

Nothing is more constant than change.i've never heard of this line before, but dad tells me it's so common in the workforce. well then, one learns new things everyday. President's Monson's talk during General Conference really touched me today. i don't really know why, but it did. he mentioned something about everything never stops changing. children leave, loved ones die, and so on.
and it suddenly occurred to me that friends change too. not too long ago, i remember during recess hypo remarked, "hm, myra's a nice name. i'll name my daughter that" to which i replied "haha that you must invite me to your baby shower and i can be the guest of honour!" and zhuwei added "but first she must get married! and I will be the bridesmaid!"
i asked myself then, will we really stay in touch after so many years? that we'll invite each other to distant-in-the-future weddings and whatnots? and i asked myself that question again today. it really takes effort to keep relationships going, to keep wanting to meet up and talk and share about almost everything.
and today in the Life! section, one writer mentioned about meeting up with her uni friends after 3years, and despite busy schedules and milestones, they still got together and swapped stories. and i think of my mother herself, who has kept in contact with precious few secondary school friends. 3 to be exact.
and i wonder, will i be able to do the same? my current batch of friends has certainly grown on me. indeed, secondary school would be nothing without them. i love them to bits and pieces, but who knows what the future will hold?
change. everyone needs change. but sometimes, i don't really want change. i want my friends to be by each other's side forever, i wanted uncle s to be president forever, i want to never have to grow older and face more life challenges that will increasingly get harder.
and yet i want change. how contradictory.
but one thing i'm really glad for in my life is definitely the gospel. i think that's one thing that has alwasy been a constant in my life. i've grown up in the church all my life, been spoonfed lessons and principles and values and knowlege of what's right and wrong. and i'm really thankful for all that.
but one thng i'm really thankful for is definitely good friends i've made in the church. everyday, every week, every year, i just get to know them better and better and better. i've never appreciated them more at this point of time. and it's not just those in my ward, but those in the stake too. it's amazing how much i look forward to seeing them every stake activity/meeting. it just feels, good.
anyway,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!he turns grand ol' 51 today.
my word.
