.my beautiful friends.

I think I just had the best birthday that I can remember. Although I can’t really remember that many of my birthdays.. hehe.. One of my favourite birthdays was in 1999 when my family n I were in the States.. it SNOWed on my birthday! How great is that!

Anyway, this year has been a lot of ups and downs for me. My friends whose faces I used to see everyday of my life, suddenly flew off to places all over the world. Now I’m lucky if I get to see them once in three months. Thank god for the miracle of the internet.

But on my birthday I wasn’t feeling as chipper as I should be, seeing as how its my birthday and all.. but billie was down with pukez, jo was a whole continent away, weikit even further.. so all of a sudden, I couldn’t spend my birthday with the friends that mean the most to me..

But then Hilyah saved me, and invited me for dinner with the usual crew.. or so I thought.. That night was and forever will be one of the most memorable nights of years to come..

Noone has ever done something like that for me. Its time like these that I really realized how much my friendship means to me.. A lot of people have seen me as someone independent, strong of will and mind. But I don’t think I would be anything without my friends. As sappy as it may sound, I can’t imagine life without running to Billie Tan when I don’t know how to fix the toilet, or pump petrol.. or laughing my ass off with Jo-Anne about the silliest things like an orange in the longkang or Mr. Panch and his weird teeth.. or chatting with WeiKit about the latest scoop..or scolding Karbz for being such a weirdo but yet so lovable.. or gossiping with hilyah and the gang about our top 10..

My friends mean the world to me. And nothing can change that.. So twenty years to come, when I’m the bigwig of some advertising agency, with Hilyah, Van n Li all working under me (hahahahah!).. and billie’s off fixing cars with Tan Automobiles and Jo’s off saving lives or whatever it is that bio-med people are supposed to do (I’m sorry, I don’t know! ..hehe..).. We’ll all still be sitting at the mamak every Friday night and talk about how Eugene Choong was such a ass and how Cempaka will always be lesser without us there and how Mrs Rama says “SHOCKing” in that Indian accent of hers..

Thank you for being there for me always.
