...ItGOesON::::::: God Made Us So Different

Friday, July 07, 2006

Saw an old friend on television. She was only in two scenes, and she didn't have anything to say. She was a hip-hop dancer in the show; and she's a hip-hop dancer in real life. She was a very close friend of mine in grade school. She brought me to every party she went. She liked sharing her wardrobe with me. She wanted me to wear what she wore. We sat together in class and had the same set meals after class. People in school called us "twins". I used to think we'd always be together... But then she moved to another school since she never did well in exams. After that, we caught up occasinally. But it didn't last as she met some "cooler" friends.

It makes me smile when thinking of the good hay days. It was good to see her on television. She'd always dreamed about being an artist in showbiz. And now she's doing what she dreamed of. In Hong Kong, many people stereotype hip-hop/break dance dancers as rebellious young people with lower intelligence. Dancing is another way for the "brainless" to make their living. I don't share this point of view. I do think being good at dancing is talented.

Well, it's funny to see how different we are now. Once we were two silly girls sitting side by side in a classroom. We had a lot in common: hair style, outfits, taste for food, favorite pop songs and singers, and secrets... Now, one is a teacher who has a modest image and likes no pop song and singer. Another is a trendy dancer who likes... I don't know *haha*... But sure we no longer share our secrets.
