"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold..." This phrase left a deep impression on me during Sec 2 when we study The Outsiders for Lit.

Had an awesome time with Germaine today when we happen to meet in school this afternoon. This is the first proper ENGLISH conversation I had in 5 weeks I think... Aiya!! And I was not kidding when I told her I had this split second that I missed 4R whenever some familiar names pop out on Facebook. Hahaha!

Of course, we chatted quite abit on many things and many other things which shocked me as well. So many things that kept me thinking about many things...

Friends and friends... Girls and guys... Guys and guys... Girls and girls... Is relationship really supposed to be that complicated? Is friendship that hard to maintain after certain time?? But someone had prove this wrong as I see her closeness with her Secondary school friends even till today... Yes. That's RuiTing!! But somehow, not everyone will be quite the same...

Perhaps it's really hard to keep that 'goldness' in a person, to really stay gold... Especially with the world it is now, I think it is more of being open-minded rather than just 'gold'. Maybe that is also why I am quite in shock state whenever I hear something or something that happened.

Indeed, nothing gold can stay. Still, we should try to stay gold and be mature at the same time. To accept reality. I need to learn to step out of the little box I am in now yet still keeping myself in the boundaries of goldness! Ok. I am confusing myself...

Think it is just so many things that I am seeing and hearing that make me realise, it's time to step out to see reality as it is. These are indeed the things that are happening around us everyday. So face it.
