Just had a talk with my classmate and friend, Kenneth Boey. Interestingly, I only gotta know him this semester, which is also our final semester. By this semester, nobody is really into making new clique, because most of the cliques have already been formed in the past 5 semesters. However, there is something bout' Kenneth that draws me to him; his meekness and sincerity. Guess who drove me to the airport from NTU when I left for Taiwan for CNY? It's Kenneth! Coz he felt that cabbing to Changi Airport will certainly costs a bomb.. After sending me off, he had to rush off to Woodlands. He didn't have to rush, but he chose to... Yeah, I was touched, truly. You can say that he was the only one who sent me off that day, above and beyond the phone calls from Jan and Meng, and the missed call from Mr Koh. So, why did I mention about Kenneth? Coz he's going through a very tough period right now... To me, a relationship is already a miracle, let alone marriage, because 2 distinctively unique individuals gotta love each other the way each other is, not tolerating but accepting. I'm no master in this area, that's why I'm still single. But I do appreciate the art of relationship, I love to see couples get together, and my soul gets exceedingly sorrowful when they part. Are there differences that cannot be worked out? Yeah, I believe so if either party chooses to take the easy way out. The question is, how can one be so sure that similar problem will not occur in the next relationship, if not, a worse or even mutated problem? Kenneth shared about his Pooh bear, he treated him like his son, and now, his young son gotta accept the reality of a single-parent family. Very well crafted joke, expressing unspeakable amount of anguish and pain... |
