cousins & friends

xiaojia says i should include pictures and write about them.

somehow as we grow older, we tend to speak to cousins more. i think von and miin are closer than before. sh@ron and me also. now we are big kids playing together, something that we missed out in our childhood. now that we've become sensible adults, we find the correct click and get on from there. perhaps it is also the polite thing to do.

afterall, family is most important, isn't it? and cousins are family. and to me, friends come just as close.



first heard michael w smith's friends when sh@ron brought me to bedok bethesda church to watch that play. i didn't really pay attention to the song then, except that the tune and title sounds familar and easy to remember. now i hear this song again and am touched by the simplicity of it all. the message, the music, the song.

and it makes me remember shuli@n, a friend i lost to cancer. she must be in heaven now.
