tick tock

so i got a phone call today from someone i haven't heard from in oh.. 14 years? since we last saw each other in primary 6. not that i recognise the voice, but i can still remember the name from way back when.

alrite, so it seems another of my classmate is getting married. combine that with the 20 year old photo i just found a few years ago, is someone upstairs trying to tell me something? haha.

but on the same day i hear this piece of good news, i hear the sad news that another friend has just broken up with his girlfriend. probably an all too familiar story: boy meets girl, they become a couple. boy starts treating the girl like she's the most important thing in his life, he puts his life on hold to accomodate her schedule, he's nice to her because he wants to be with her more often and he wants to make her happy. but the girl starts losing interest in the guy who just gives in all the time to her and takes him for granted, meanwhile she continues with other activities with the other people in her life. boy is hurt because he has put his life on hold for her and yet she couldn't even spend some time with him. boy can't take it anymore and they break up.

like i said: all too familiar. the sad part of this whole thing is that the guy tries to be nice and accomodates her because he genuninely likes her. how ironic.
