“..i keep us together,whatever it takes..”
Central Firestation will be losing a great competent medic,Oliver to HQ.Due to some consequences,he had to be transferred and his transfer has been finalized.He will be reporting.I love covering his rota and sometimes,we did go out for calls together.His boyish charms bring the patient at ease.The transfer came as a shock to his Rota especially his mentor,Eddy.Sad isn’t it.And he’s just like,3months away to ORD and now he had to leave.Painful i tell you,especially for his rota.If i was in Oliver’s shoe,i would feel crappy.
I feel for Eddy.I’ve been in that situation before.One time,i had a very good friend in Primary One,in Belvedere Primary.Never heard of it?never will.The school premises is still there,it became MOE,Republic Poly,USWA and now it’s the Youth Olympic Council.Anyways,I had a best friend in Primary One.We’re like the twin terror.He was the naughtier of the two and i was the nicer one.haha.We did things together,played,read and even go to school together in the bus.But,untill the end of 1989,i got to know,i had to leave Belvedere and head down to Tanglin Primary.
It’s a shitty thing.I cried in my sleep,refuse to sleep.I’m not sure how to feel but i felt that what’s going to happen to him and what’s going to happen to me.It may indeed sounds gay but,back then,friendship was purer.And the sad thing,i didn’t even had the chance to say goodbye to him.I’m scared of losing a great friend and i’m scared of being in a new environment.
But,it had to be done and i was transferred to Tanglin Pri.I made an impact,topping the class that year and was transferred out to the best class.But,even though it was a happy moment,i felt alone.Alone for being new in town.There was nothing that could replace this friend in Primary 1 i had.
Days turn to months turn to years.I moved on with life and started to make new friends who i’m still in contact as of today.And we’ve been best friends ever since.
So you see,there’s pros and cons in changes.Time waits for no one and sometimes,we have to face changes over time.It’s the phase in life whereby,we have to take it with a pinch of salt.Memories,fond memories will always remain.
I feel for you man.
“Silence
Something about silence makes me sick
‘Cause silence can be violence
Sorta’ like a slit wrist”
