A Happy Day
I had originally finished typing the last entry. Suddenly when i wanted to save and upload, the server experienced a problem. So now, i decided to re-type it again.
I was hit by a very bad flu on Friday, and i am still not fully recovered. The doctor that i consulted was utterly disappointing. Firstly, he charged me a whopping 38 dollars for the consultation. Secondly, he didn’t even bother to give me any forms of examination. So as you probably would have guessed, the whole visit didn’t last for more than 30 seconds. And his expensive medicine have failed to make me better.
Today was the commissioning of another of my junior cohort. The proud and happy faces of their families and friends were so heartening and i feel truly emotional myself. For the first time, i witness a friend commissioning, after my own commissioning last year.
Edwin wasn’t exactly a very close friend. In fact, he’s the boyfriend of the sister of my ex girlfriend. On the rare occasions when i had the opportunity to see and interact with him, he has always left a good impression. Thus, i was not the least surprised to see him come to OCS. And i am glad that he has successfully graduated and congratulations to all the other graduands too. 
I have some thoughts about friendship that i am struggling to pen down accurately. But my bottomline is that we should always be firm and brave enough to tell a true friend things, even if they are unpleasant and not necessarily comfortable to listen to, that would eventually make him/her a better person,either at present or the long run. Which is more important? The friendship itself, or the general well-being of your friend in the future?
