Nothing Lasts Forever

You lose friends in Life. 
You lose friends because they passed away. 
You lose friends because they take different path of Life. 
You lose friends because they have betrayed you somehow. 
You lose friends, simply because of time. 

No matter how you lose a dear friend, Life teaches you that nothing lasts forever. 
The only way to keep your friends forever close to you, is to keep the good memory of them at heart.

An Ode For My Asean and Japan Friends


"An Ode for my Asean and Japan Friends"

Once upon a time
There was a boat with 11 people stranded inside
They were strangers to each other
They came from different world, different sights and different stereotype.

They had no idea where the boat would take them to
They had no option but to learn enjoy the sailing day by day
They had no amusement but to start talking each other , heart to heart

As many days go by and many miles has been sailed away
The 11 strangers has learned each other
Although they come from different world, they have many things in common

As they get to know heart by heart,
They don’t feel strangers each other anymore
They eventually find a horizon where the boat leads them to

The boat leads them to a land call Humanity Land
They came as strangers but left as Good Friends
But the boat keep sailing in their heart…it’s the boat called F.R.I.E.N.D.S.H.I.P
