The Brotherhood

There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother. - Astrid Alauda 



This post is dedicated to my fellow Brotherhood. For those who don't know, The Brotherhood is my very own clique within my school. My other nickname for this clique is "Espada". To those who had watched Bleach(the manga or anime), it is known that "Espada" is actually a "villain" organisation consisting of the top 10 most powerful "villains". It just so happens that there're actually 10 members within The Brotherhood. And the word "Espada" has been frequently used among ourselves to "praise" someone who did something brilliant. (Note: it could be sarcastic sometimes)

The name "Brotherhood" was actually given to us by our hated Math teacher, as we guys were all seated at the left side(from the view of the teacher). This group was actually founded as 9 of us used to go out to have lunch together frequently. Then one more person eventually joined this group and we became 10. 

We went to places like Pepper Lunch, Pastamania, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, KFC and more, to have lunch together. We of course had lots of fun just hanging around and chilling out with one another after school. We played Soccer, Basketball, and "Self-Invented" Baseball among ourselves. We went on numerous outings, like the most recent one where we went The Cage to play soccer indoors there, went to buy a jersey as wedding gift for our beloved teacher Mr See and so on. All the times we laughed whenever something funny occurred or something funny was said, all the times we tried to make fun of a particular member and that priceless expression on his face, or the "words" he said. There's so much things we had done as a group that I obviously didn't bother to count how many exactly.

Of course there were times where not all ten members are present, due to various reasons, but we are still bonded together as a group. We also have quarrels here and there, putting our personal relationships with one another into tests. Exchanging heated words, voice raised at each other, sometimes even leading to them being cold towards each other. But who didn't get into quarrels with friends, best friends before? So long as we overcome it, work it out, our friendship will get even stronger.

Every person is different, we have our own differences. But we put aside our differences and resolved our conflicts, bonding as one. Of course, our differences still exist, but we are learning to be more selfless, and accept one another's personality and desires. Ten people is considered quite a big clique, since most cliques are like perhaps four or five? Maybe seven at most? I'm not sure, but putting ten guys together and be able to stand united, is not easy. I can't say that we are very successful in doing it but at least we had great memories together. We spent our teenage years and our secondary school days together, I'm sure that it will remain as a beautiful piece of memory.

Like a few members of The Brotherhood, I have imagined us, all grown-up as adults, maybe aged around 24... or even older like 30, and we'll have a Brotherhood gathering, where we'll see everyone again, with matured faces, when we'll get to see Mr See's children growing up as well, and Mr See himself getting old. I really loved all the times we were together, good or bad, and I thank each and every single Brotherhood member for being my best friends and my "Brothers", and for making my life entertaining, and fun. I really wish that this wonderful relationship among ourselves will last... Brothers till the end.

P.S We still haven't take a full exclusive photo for the entire Brotherhood yet! T.T
We have to take one before we all separate and leave for our post-secondary educations!
