Opposite Attracts!

I can never understand why there's this term "Opposite attracts"? Yet, I see it quite evident in my own life. At least, I can say that for my friendship with my best friend all the way from my Secondary School days. She is also my godsons' mummy.

In our conversation last week, we finally came to a conclusion and agreement how VERY different we are! Ok.. Not that I didn't know though.. Heehee.. Anyhow, it was because of my dad's hospitalization that I see her more often. And it's because we see each other so often, it makes us even more aware of each other. As we both are quite "busy" people with our own individual lives to lead, it's rare that we meet up. Perhaps once in 3 months? In fact, I think I have not visited my godsons since 6 months ago! *sigh*

I have been asked sometimes, by friends and recently by sis, why is she your best friend when you both are so different? We are from different churches, we like different things, we agree that we have different taste in men (heehee), our lifestyle is very different, we can never travel together (either one of us will "die") and often times, we agree to disagree. In fact, I remember we quarrel away our time when we were classmates. For awhile, we were quite out of touch due to a huge disagreement (all thanks to my fault).

However, it's through all these differences and separate lives that I am so assured of her friendship in my heart and my friendship in hers. It's almost as if I am just SO sure that if there is anything that happened to me or my family, I can always turn to her. And I do know that the feeling is mutual. Somehow, it's a confidence that I do not know when or how it started.

I wonder now.. Who's the south pole and who's the north? Heehee...
