It's nice rekindling the friendship fire of an old flame. Primary Six crush to be exact. Well, to be even more specific, it was a two to three months crush that started when I was in primary six and ended when I was in secondary one. If I recall correctly, I liked her for her looks.

But then, time came, life went on, and we lost contact. She went on to RGS, me SHSS. Two different leagues. Miles apart, in terms of educational status.

Yet, the feelings of rekindling of a friendly relationship. There are things yet unchanged. Her face, for starters. Radiance, for seconds. Yet, the light gloweth in her is not the true light. But she's like super duper chio.

Would there be a gap between two very different people? One who went to well-branded schools and would be the kind of people that the government loves and would definitely increase the technological value of Singapore. Theoretically. The other, a neighbourhood school, and then polytechnic, the kind that makes the life of others better. Practically.

I think so. Different ways of life. Sure, we can sit back, and laugh about the old days; the time spent together in primary school, but at the end of the day, will we still see eye to eye? Are we still wired on the same frequency?

Two ends of the educational circle. It's just like mass comm students are snobbish and elevated.

"Who say one?"
"Donno [shrugs] just hear from a friend who heard from a friend who heard from friend one.. "

But what created such a gap? That we feel inferior. That we feel superior. Aren't we all still flesh and blood, born with a heart? We may not laugh at the same jokes, but we still laugh. [Check out http://blog.vjc.sg/2006/09/01/the-teachers-day-videos/] We may not experience the same life experiences but we still experience the same type of life experience for eg relationships.

We created the gap. We reared our needs, wants and desires for power, for status, to be a prefect in primary school or to be a doctor, a highly revered position. We crave the position of power, to feed our ego, ensure our self-esteem is always high.

"Why?"
"Because I'm better than you. "
"How so?"
"Don't know? I just am."

Can this gap be bridged? Perhaps. Gandhi studied law, a position of power, yet he was loved by all people.

So, as I end this post, I wonder. How close can two people be, when both go through different roads of education? At the end of the day, what matters? Papers? Looks? Character? Level of education? Boobs? Length of waist? Finance? Interests? Love??
