Got this from A's blog. Hope she doesn't mind, but it fits exactly what I wanted to say.
"And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you.
sometimes i am at a loss at what to do. i want to be a better friend, i really do.
but i'm not sure if anything i say is of any use.
then maybe i try to react in apathy. but i do care, after all."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
every time I see a friend feeling down, I just simply do not know what to do.
I'm afraid it'll make things worse.
Anw,on a brighter note, on the train today while on the way to fencing BBQ, I saw this mixed race family, father was caucasian, while the mother was a Singaporean Chinese. She was actually speaking chinese on the while to her 3/4 year old son. Felt heartened that there are still Singaporeans who try their best to speak chinese to their kids, especially this kid who's not even fully chinese.
