A Tear Fell
by Marge Tindal

I shed a tear today
Silently, I felt it fall
You caught it
held it
felt it
then
sudenly
it wasn't
so big
after all...
We don't think that we'll ever find the right words to describe what friendship really means to us. But the short poem by Marge Tindal actually said what we wanted to tell you... how each and every friend has touched our life, becoming a part of it and helped  forming us to be the way we are today.

Life gets awfully lonely when one doesn't have a friend to share it with... and we have been very lucky to be blessed with so many great friends throughout our lives.

Funny, how intensely one can feel and enjoy the tie of friendship he/she has. We are always amazed by the unspoken words and ways of sharing laughter & tears with our friends. The sense we get from the way  our friends look at us, or from their tone of voice, or even from the words they choose to write down on the eMail messages, is enough to tell how they feel.

We know that we often take our friends for granted. Maybe we don't really listen to their stories, maybe we don't pat their shoulders when they needed us to do so. Maybe we even forget to tell them how we appreciate them. Somehow, we hope that those unspoken words and gestures show them how much we care about all of friends.
IMPORTANT NOTICE !!
This website is put together while the three of us are in Tokyo and at this moment we don't have pictures of all of our friends, as most of them are kept at our 'other' home, in Jakarta.

So if you don't find your pictures here, PLEASE do not think  that what are written on this page doesn't apply to our friendship.

However, if you do have a file of your picture in a JPG or GIF format
(and you don't mind to have your face posted on this page), just send it to us by eMail! We would really appreciate your help in adding our picture collection!
Our Friends...
