FRIENDS

Friendship are not measured by number of years but it does share history.

A photograph. A school song. A childhood name. A foolish prank. A camping story. A drunk night. 

And "ponteng sekolah".

It is build by tapping each other's strengths and tolerating each other's weaknesses.

It is knowing each other's stories and jokes that were repeated countless times and still laugh about them.

Then still call each other and say "jom, mari cerita lagi".

Years come and go.

Friendship stays and friends get together.


And when friends get together, conversation gets longer, beers seem colder, food taste better and laughters louder.

Even ordinary day feels special.

Friends, when around, enjoy their presence.

When not, feel their absence.

Some gone, not forgotten.

HEALTH

Health is selfish.

You have take care of it. It won't take care of you.

It is one of the most taken for granted aspects in life.

People traded it. For work, for habits, even for certain lifestyles.

The sad fact is, most people will only take care of it when the pain comes.

And pain comes with fear.

Fear of death?

No.

Fear of uncertainties.

Disability or immobility?
Chemo or bypass?
Demented or mad?

Wheelchair or bed?
Drugs or knives?
Inconvenience or annoyance?
Lost or abandoned?
At home or at a home?

It is not whether the uncertainties will come.

It is when?

TIME

Time, I thought I have bags full of it ... used to spend it like it will never finished.

I gave days to work, to entertain others, to chase for materials and to fill other people's time table.

I delayed many aspects of my life. I thought they could wait.

Children came and they grew to became adults and I grew to be golden.

Many old friends missed and less and less coming to gatherings.

Retirement is nice. Time for my own but retirement is also the last turn of the journey. You can almost see the finishing line.

I woke up to see that time has taken yesterday and I have already spent some today.

Sometimes I said time is passing fast.

No, time is there standing still in the universe for millions of years alone and does not belong to anyone.

I am passing.
