A Note For My Friends

This summer is coming to an end. My dear reader might wonder why this summer is worth an entry on this blog as there will be another summers in the ongoing years. However, this summer is different and of immense importance. The upcoming year will be the last year of my student life. That is to say, this is my last summer holidays. "Schooling is the happiest moment of one's life."- so at least I have been told. Therefore, this summer also marks the end of the happiest moment of my life.

Throughout all these years, I must myself admit I have not learnt a great deal from my teachers and the textbooks in school. But I have met great friends that have enriched my life. Many of my old time friends are regrettably now gone. Fortunately, I have met a great deal in my secondary school which I hope will be my lifelong friends. If they are not lifelong, they are still memorable for they enchanted the happiest moment of my life. That is what makes schooling important. It is important not because it instills countless useless knowledge into my mind, but because I have met some of the best companions in my life.

Our roads to future still remain uncertain. We do not know where we will be going. As time passes by, we may choose to separate or we may choose to treasure this friendship. But no one can say certainly where we will end up to be. After we step into the filthy world of business, we may choose to separate because of work or simply because you meet new people. We are stepping into a completely different world. Thank you, my friends, for being part of my life and for giving me my last wonderful summer. Our separation is undoubtedly sad but yet sadly beautiful. We should not only admire the beauty of the union of great friends but we should also admire the beauty of the separation of them though it moves us to tears. Because this moment is splendid. Our love of friendship is deeply connected over the vast ocean of anguish. It is what makes our friendship honourable. If we are not to experience this sort of loneliness, we would not know what friendship is all about.

My friends have done much good to me, but I am afraid I have no chance to return the favour. For this, I apologise.

For those who are tagged, you may not be my best friend, but you are tagged simply for being part of my wonderful summer. For all my best friends (who need not to mention), this is for you.
