friends

in our lifetimes, friends comes and goes. we go thru phases in our lifetimes and in each phase, we migrate to a new group of friends.

in college days, our friends are our room mates and course mates. they may be from different races and background, but we stick together as we share the same aspirations and targets. it could be to complete the course or graduate with honors or going after the same group of girls.

we migrate to ‘new’ friends the day college ended.

we now are starting our career, our close friends may still be our college friends but as the career progresses, our life revolve around drinking or partying buddies or colleagues with similar interest or around the man or women we thought we love. college friends are just facebook friends at this moment.

then we make more money. it means we are on our way to leadership position in companies. we started to develop/cultivate hobbies that were too expensive in the past. some goes into cars scene. some into bikes scene. some into golf. some all three :). with these hobbies, we develop new circle of friends. these are the people that we share experience/banter with during teh tarik sessions. the driving, diving, riding, golfing, gambling, flying and other experiences

then we got married. not gonna go there today! LOL

friends from college developed their own circle of friends. the friends that we knew early in our careers also developed their own group of friends and hobbies. point being, when we are finally reunited with the older friends, we may not be ‘aligned’ anymore as we don’t speak the same language and we don’t share the same interest. in fact, we might looked foreign to each other.

when this happens, we may decide to move on with our life’s.
