Met Tim today for the first time in 9 months, but we met in a group of friends and played badminton altogether, so that was fine. Things are still abit awkward between us but it's not a bad awkwardness; it's more from caution and awareness of not drawing too close. It's good, because we're no different from just being friends now, and I like it that way :) Thank God. We talked for a while on the phone just now, just kinda catching up, and when we discussed our future visions and plans (while taking into consideration the fact that God may direct us elsewhere at some point of time) we realised that we'll be straying into totally divergent paths - him in Australia and I perhaps in China - and it wasn't just that but the awareness that we've grown to be so different now, that's making this friendship rest at ease. Because there're no expectations, no talk of any hopes, no talk of nothing, just friendship, fellowship, and mutual encouragement.

Yes, I like it this way. And may God keep it like that unless He wills otherwise...
