Journey of Becoming a Friend

Who is a friend? What is a friendship?
Passing of years, we have seen all kinds of people from good, bad to ugly. Friends come from every angle of our life. Even from different time of age. Each having different personalities in their own special way. This differences are the things that is most precious in our friends. To get to know each other better, to share knowledge together moving forward for the purpose of living the life. No matter how good , bad or even ugly that a friend is in our eyes, they are still human beings brought upon our life to be cherished forever. In other words, friends are our second family.

I remember the time where i met and became a friend for the first time. It all happen when my parents brought me back to my hometown, in Kedah. There was this neighbour of mine, Mat Usop, he is 2 years older than me. He used to climb my granma's fence to play with sheeps and chickens. I ended up playing with him, chasing chickens and running away from mad sheeps. We used to climb rambutan trees but ended up swelling badly from kerengga's bite. Lot's of it. Sharing ghost story and not sleeping because of it. We became brothers. Sadly as years passed by, we grew up differently and not in the same direction. We lost contact for quite some time. Last i heard, he was getting married. Nevertheless, memories of this friendship will never be lost, well not for me. I wish you well my friend, Mat Usop.

As I grow up, my friends do too. One best friend becomes tenths. From childhood friends to schoolmates. It grows to become course mates. From then on, from tenths of friends became hundreds. Although the numbers are not important, the memories that each of it brings change our life of being better. Cherish the old, make a lot more new friends to live life to the fullest.
