john's no such thing

in the midst of working at home, just clearing tabs overloaded with maybe i'll need it later tabs of work, games, social medias, shopping, more work, this slice of memory appeared. these are the half of the tabs left after clearing

so whats wrong with a little trip down the memory lane right? hee
some photos were missing, lost by the loading site, some videos gone forever, thoughts raced thinking is it time? has it been over 10 years? is there a shelf life for these photos until they disappear? if they disappear, and nobody remembers, did it even matter? theres no new ones coming up, no updates, no stories of each other.

yet there they were, photos and words to a long ago. photos where money was tight, body was light, smile was bright and hearts in good vibes. making effort to meet even though busy schedules were just schedules we could blow off cos meeting was more important. no 1 week 2 weeks planning and never happening or no time to spare at all cos too busy, no contacting just for your own benefit, no contacting just cos of seeing something in social media, no long due updates of each other.

a little bit of update then, if you are still reading

VANESSA omg also i dunno its like she disappeared totally - i cant even find her



yirong's really gone, her good friend contacted me on the 11th year cos i posted about her birthday every year. told me about her final location. i went a few weeks back with deb. for 11 years..i couldnt believe it, thought it was just some elaborate ploy to isolate herself. all this while i was hoping to bump into her somewhere in this world and that would be it, seeing her alive and well would totally eradicate this void. then i saw the stone. i saw her. like some shitty confirmation, i realised, there was nothing else i could do for her anymore. anything else i were to do like bring flowers or wipe the stone, it wouldnt matter. if u guys wanna pay final respects, you got my number, i'll give you deets or may even go together. havent changed it, never will. if you ever feel alone, like how she always felt, please, never forget, though she never did forget, that i will always be here.




with that said, if any of you ever read this again, 10 years...is a really long time. all of us have moved on, yet it'd be pretty magical yet unrealistic for all of us to get together again, not like we have to be like how we were in the past, but maybe, just for a little dinner somewhere whilst we reminisce and catch up, who knows we could be friends again.
