after experiencing 9..close to 10 months of jc life, i've decided to sum it up in a few of my own ideas and thoughts abt it.

jc. a intermediate stage where we are exposed to the real world. little shelter, nobody there to push you to do work. self discipline, self preservation is needed. there are so many things happening arnd u, so many things u need to do, that sometimes its hard to find time to just be yourself, keeping the core of yourself intact.
as for friendships, i've come to a whole new level of understding about friendships this yr. it is not sth that can last forever. honestly, i dun believe in a 'friends forever' anymore. i have too many experiences on that. partly also cos i need someone who can share my thoughts and understd me deep down to call a gd friend. i've realised there is a need to constantly make the effort to reach out, to interact with old friends, who have been separated or taken out of your daily lives. i tried that, but it was only a one-off thing. and some experiences abt family love have also made me conclude that, indeed, nothing is more impt than one's family. not even friends. when u realise that the social world arnd u is peeled off, all you have left with you, or that's left supporting u thru, is ur family.
