Time. What is it a good measurement of?

I often hear how time is not a good measurement of the strength of a relationship. Or that is doesn't justify the stability of a relationship.

I concur.

Time. It doesn't just hold true for relationships. It's not even a good measurement for friendships.

I met up with iGeek and Molala for lemon tea/oolong tea/sugar cane/chinese tea earlier and it dawns upon me at some point. On my right, my best friend. Ive known her for 10 years, she knows my family, she knows about my past relationships, she has seen me after shower when I just have "towel dress" on. And on my left, my good friend and colleague. Ive known her for about 3 years now. She knows my friends and steals them. She travelled with me, slept in the same room with me. And I know her need of "me time".

Both I know I can rely on if I need help. Both I know I will have a blast every time we are out. iGeek knows my past, my present and will know my future. Molala knows my present and will know my future.

So what is time a good measurement of?

In my previous entry, I blogged about my disappointment in Ah-Mei and since that day. I felt like a stone was lifted from my chest. I no longer "pine" for her - pine for her friendship to return like it was previously. I no longer worry about her well-being. I no longer wonder what she is doing and I no longer wait for the phone call with the nervous voice screaming "HELP ME ECK!!!"

She has become - "the friend I used to know".

So for "the friend I used to know" - I wish you well and happiness. And our 10 years of friendship shall be hung up like soccer boots after a match. This is the end of an era. I shall walk forward, with my head held high, together with my best friends, PJ Hong & iGeek and my other great friends, Molala, Debster, Ollie......

So really. What is time a good measurement of?

Its a good measurement of working hours! Tick. Tick Tick....time counts down to the end of another working week....Woohoo! Weekend is round the corner.
