I SAW A SHIP, WITH FRIENDS ON IT! BUT CAN I CHOOSE NOT TO SAIL ON IT?

*Blinking cursor waiting to be stopped by texts* Friends. Do we really need friends in this life? Well, I heard that, guys. You are saying YES, OF COURSE, and DEFINITELY! You are saying that we DO need friends, or else we will be forever alone. Isn't it? But what if I say YES and NO, both at the same time? Friends are like credit cards. They make our life easier and more convenient if we possess them, but they are not a part of our must-have items in order to survive in this challenging world. If we have them, ya, consider it as a bonus. Something that we can make use of, and something that we can rely on, in times of difficulty.

Deliberately created by a group of innovative Lim Kok Wing University students, it is undeniable that this avant-garde national song has officially become a new massive hit after our renowned national anthem, ‘Negaraku’. This tuneful ‘1 Malaysia’ song has attained a rapturous response in arousing the spirit of integrity among us, thanks to its splendid rendition and also inspiring lyrics. I still remember that for the past 54 years since we gained freedom...
