Had a strange dream last night. Dreamt that I was having lunch with Xiaochen and Ly in an Indonesian restaurant. Not the first time that I've dreamt of my friends, but the scene was just so serene and nice that when I had to wake up and go to school for Chemistry SPA, I didn't really want to wake up.

Been thinking for a while about the value of friendship. I think of the close friends that I've had for the past 4 years. Circumstances have shortened the time that we have to spend with one another. Like what I told Ly, friends come and go, but friendship will remain. It's the feeling that you share with a close friend that remans in your heart. I think of the friends who I have drifted apart from. Perhaps it's me who have neglected the friendship, such that we no longer keep in close contact. Although friends come and go, it's important to keep friendships close. Friendship, like any relationships, require maintenance effort. Doesn't mean that once you are close friends, without any effort, you'll always be close friends. And I feel sad for having drifted apart with some friends of mine, and sad that slowly some friends are drifting apart. Is there anything that will keep the bond together?
