Taking a second look at things

It's scary when it seems that the people you know turn out to be people you don't really know after all- the very foundation of a blossoming friendship threatens to collapse... That's why I never believe in any overnight relationship- be it guy-girl or plain friendship. The human being is too complicated a being to be dissected -characteristically- in a jiffy.

I suppose in life, we do more guesswork than knowing the truth. That's somehow the beauty of living in this world; somethings are better left unsaid, unknown, not rationalised completely. Like the change of atmosphere between you and a friend or that untold of infatuation. Some things need time to be revealed and understood, clearing off unfounded conclusions. Some secrets though, feel better to be taken to the grave lest the bubble of fantasy be popped by the needle of reality.

Second guessing whether we've done something wrong or accidentally offended a friend based on how he starts treating us gives chances to the self-fulfilling prophecy to be fulfilled. Who knows we may end up creating animosity for reasons both parties find inconspicuous. Then there goes something that was meant for continuity all in the evil name of ASSUMPTIONS. Never assume. Being blunt can save a relationship [but not too blunt lah, nanti no problem become ada one].

I don't know what's up with TB11 these days [ehem, this semester]. After the climax of our foundation year [semester 2, last sem], it seems we've suddenly become rather disconnected. Maybe some things happened among some of us that go beyond my brain antenna 's coverage. So while I'm trying to figure out this lack of spontaneity and unity in class, I'm trying not to jump to conclusions too. Maybe it's just because we see less of each other with only barely four days of uni to attend this semester.

I don't wish to end our year together the way we began it--as strangers. This is supposed to be a blast, no?
