What did you ask to your friend when you met them? It’s depend on your age, isn’t it? While you were eighteen, you might ask to your friends “which college are you heading?”. Probably, while you were 23 years old, you might ask “Hey,.. have you graduated? Where are you working now? What about our friend Paijo,.. has he graduated as well? Where is he working now?”.
The topic is always changing, following the biggest issue in our daily life at that time. While we were teenager, the biggest issue must be about love and education. The topic was changing to carrier when we reached mid twenties. Late twenties to mid thirties is all about carrier,.. and so on.. and so on.
But it was shocking to know what the topic will be when we were above 70s. It was revealed by my friend Sandy. Together with other two, sandy and I were friends since we were at the third grade in junior high school, that means more than 13 years up to now.
One day Sandy was in a queue in a barber shop. There was an old man (probably mid-late seventies) whose his hair was being cut by the barber. A few minutes later, another old man about the same age, came by. He then said hi to his friend whose hair being cut by the barber. After a little chat, one of the old men ask to another “How is Rudy? Is he still alive?”. Hearing that conversation, Sandy is a little bit shocked. He then remember his friends (our gang, consist of four men). When we met, we were now talking about our carrier initiation or wedding plan. But perhaps one day, when we are old and rarely meet each other, we will ask exactly the same question as the old man in a barber shop asked.
So don’t be shocked, we will be talking about our children while we were forties,.. about our child in law in fifties,.. about health and grandchild in sixties,.. and finally about our friends’ life and death when we are above seventies.
Well, everything are always changing except the change itself.
Hehhee, That flourish sentence only happens once in a year..
Keep change in term good way, brur!
