The question has been answered. Australia as the next destination. Pretty much have just 3 days left..
Met some friends at the nearby mamak, 2 diff groups of school friends. Met up with the first bunch at 11.. then later with the other at 12 plus.. While they are all nice people and catching up/ reminiscing was enjoyable, i think about how people always say the 'niceties' that you KNOW will never come true. Its kinda like the break-ups where they go ' we'll still be friends, keep in touch and call each other out' , then never speak to each other ever again. Or how about that friend who always speaks to you as if you're her best friend in the world, how much she misses you, how often she thinks of you, how fond she is of the memories shared; but in actual fact isnt exactly that close in the first place, doesnt bother to write, cant be bothered calling. Am i just taking her way too seriously or reading too much into what she says or having too HIGH a judgement of what is deemed as a close friendship?
Better to just be polite and feign the feel-good feeling? Is there even any value in that.. Maybe its just a polite thing to do or to make yourself and your friend worth more, valued higher.. in the eyes of others too. Kinda like putting on a show whether there is an audience or not, or its just the both of you. In the end, if both parties are convinced of the higher value and closeness of the friendship, who is to say it is not? |

People probably mean it when they say 'niceties' but it becomes quite a challenge to really do it.
I think that relationships cannot depend on 'feelings' alone. Phone calls cannot just wait till you 'feel like it' to make, and the same goes for letters.
Relationships require a conscious effort to upkeep. :)
Hope you like Melbourne!
