Journal Writing 2- Sherilyn Pua

Part one

Who are your best friend in life?

Well, I do have a best friend, a friend that I could not afford to lose. I knew her since primary four, and we are best friend till now. Close enough? We are in the same secondary school, but different class, though we do not meet each other often, but we could really chat for a long time once we started. It's hard to get a friend like that though, that you could chat everything, and you would not be afraid that she would say it out. We share lots of secret together too. But now, if you ask me do I have anymore best friend other than her, I afraid that I could not answer. I do have close friends, but not until the extend of best friend. Somehow or rather, I find that once we are in secondary school,best friend seems hard to find now. Might be it's because the time we spend together is really lesser than we do in primary school and we came from different background too. Everyone seems to have their own things and till now, I believe that those close friends we have, we don't really trust them lots, sometimes we have things to say,we still have to think thrice. But no matter what, friends are hard to come, and best friends are hard to find, but, we must still treasure the fate between us. Though we are not close or we were just an aquantaince, a smile or a hello would make us closer too. Races does not mean anything, as long as we live in the same world and place, we are a one.

Part Two

1. Character
2. Circumstances
3. Age
4. Gender
5. Race

I think Character would be the first thing I would notice when choosing a friend, what for choosing a friend who is self-centered and only care about themselves. A friend who will say out every secret you told them, a friend that would backstab you behind your back, a friend who would say to other friends how bad you are when you were not. If I have a friend like this, I rather be dead. Or my eyes need to go for a check up. To me, character is very important, without a good character, I don't think they will help you, or instead they will harm you. So if you are my friends, it means that you have a good character! =)

Circumstances is the second important, especially in secondary school, where most of our time invovles in school project, cca and in classroom. If we have close friends that are in the same class as us, it would be really easier for us to keep in contact. If we were from different class, we would really need to find time to keep in contact. So, circumstances is quite important too.

Age, over 30 years old, there would surely a generation gap. Like our parents, they thinking would be different from us, so having a friend that is 30 year old is really quite difficult to communciate. Having friends around our age would be easier to communicate and hang around too, as our thinking would be almost the same.

Gender, well girl or boy, we are still human, and human needs friends, as long as we could communicate well with one another, what's wrong having an opposite gender as a close or best friend? So I don't think it's a weird or strange scence having an opposite gender sitting beside and chatting

Race, haha, it's doesn't matter at all please. What really different is the skin colour and our tradition, the rest, I think it's all the same yeah? So it's doesn't matter at all.

Part 3

Racial harmony of course serve it's purpose. It teaches us what's the meaning of racial and harmony. It tells us not to be racist and stay in harmony, which would benefits the world yeah?! haha!
