You know how attached couples like to ramble on about how life will be with each other? Well, you're unfortunate enough because Jack and I happen to be one of them, and you're reading this. We were discussing how pleasant it would be like to reside nearby each other during the BBQ on Sunday, and we got Gordon and Gerlynn caught on to the conversation as well. One major reason would definitely because I'm currently taking an hour or so to get to and fro Gordon's place (where we would usually congregate for a session of boardgames), and it's a tiresome affair. Plus the fact that we're probably going to make this habit, and watch the two of them tear each other's dentures out during boardgames 50 years on. Wouldn't that be sweet?
Of course I wouldn't mind living close to my other better friends, but not to the extent of being neighbours (I shall keep this entry PG) because I'll probably die of fatigue trying to keep my private life, well, private (no pun intended, if you even catch it at all). It's time our generation took the baton from our grandparents and revive the kampung spirit. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you can drop off your kids at your friends' place if you had to attend to something urgent? Plus all the potlucks, BBQ sessions, gatherings we can have.
At the end of the day it's all about even bothering at all to keep in contact with each other, no matter where you reside, because even neighbours can become enemies if boundaries are crossed and tempers flare. Then, living nearby would be equivalent to fighting a war at frontline everyday.
