Actually most friendships dun last

[qhong61]

Huh ....actually those JC, poly, army or uni frens that you've made but subsequently drifted apart coz all of you were busy establishing your careers and building families.

Rest assured, you will reconnect with them again. When reach 40s and 50s, many parents will uplorry and you will receive regular text msgs out of the blue asking you to attend funeral wakes. That's where you will meet up with your old frens, again. It feels like reunion actually.

U can choose not to go

Actually hats off to my father...
He is in his 80s already...
But everytime I bring him around,
he always seem to run into
his friends or acquaintance...
I thought most of them should up lorry already
but they are still hanging around...
I guess it is way easier to make friends
back during the old days.

My dad in his 90s too.
When I visit him, will always had someone calling him on the phone.
Not social worker.

You don't need much friends in your life when you reach 50 above. Friends are just a passer by in your life. I rather you spend more time with your loves one. Because at the end you died, only your loves one will stay beside you and sad. As for your friends maybe they didn't know you are gone. Don't waste too much time on friendship.

Yeah quite sad sometimes when you think about all of those whom you were once so close to

 

[Kapish]

nothing last forever in life

people last time seem to be much friendlier

People have less free time and are stressed out from the increased working hours and cost of living which has increased so much compared to last time. People will also have no choice but to focus more on making ends meet. So much frustration in them, naturally people will be less friendly.

If they want a life that is better than borderline poverty then they have to put in even more effort. They're not just competing with Singaporeans but against the entire world and it doesn't help the cause to have a huge influx of foreigners coming in, it's not even a level playing field because for Singaporean guys at least, they are already 2 years behind due to national services. What do they get for that? 2 years free safra membership and some money in CPF? GTFO with that ********.

Looking back at my past photos, I realised I dun keep in contact with alot of them anymore..just drifted away

Unless you make a effort to meet up, or else you will be meet up for the last time before the body is burnt.

Hi. As we grow older, it's natural to grow apart. But it doesn't mean that you guys are not friends anymore. Being a friend doesn't mean that you need to tcss everyday. You can just text each other once in a while, meet up once in a while, be there for each other during important milestones like weddings, funerals, baby full months and stuff. The idea of friendship is different from people to people

These boomers really can outlast a lot of younger people....
Maybe their network and social interaction with their own peers is what kept them alive and kicking.

unemployed, self employed and retired makes no diff to me. depending on who asks, imma answer accordingly.

My ex classmate whom I have known for 29 years, who's the god son of my mum's,Whatsapp me last night and I almost forgot his existence because he's not the type to initiate a chat
I felt like a fool to keep messaging him previously as he's the boh xim type to keep in contact one ,I find him toxic in a way

Didn't feel like replying him, hence my replies to him are all very short

I am quite surprised I am rather nonchalant to receive his message because we were best friends once
