The Friendship Band

FRIENDSHIP BAND

Strolling around at Dataran Pahlawan, she saw some colorful friendship band at one of the store. It sure bring back those school days memories.

The friendship band , during those days, were made of colorful threads that were braided to together to form a bracelet. Not easy to make, the band represented a workmanship of patience. When you give the band to a friend, it symbolize a gift of well wishes and hoping that the friendship would last long.



People do say that the friendship band are easy to make. Do Not believe that. She has tried many times but it always ends up getting all tangled. It ends up being a crumpled ball of yarn :p (That is what she does best, anyway). She does not have the patience for that. She would rather paint instead.



Some say that the recipient of a friendship band must wear it until the cords wear out and fall off naturally. If you remove it before it falls off, it means the end of the friendship. But really, friendship is not measured by things or objects. Being friends means remembering him/her regardless of how much time has passed by or how far away the person is.

A good friend is never far away. Even when the person is not there, he/she is remains in the heart.



A certain star high up in the sky would meant a lot to her even though it might seem no different from the other stars to others.

Then again,
if there are stars above my head
Why should I feel alone?
I will walk into the darkest night
Take what ever may come..
I have the stars above me,
And the breeze on my face..
