This post is dedicated to everyone. If you think that person is you, then its
for you.
To you:
Thank you for being you. I'm so glad that you're part of my
spiritual family and being my friend for the past 5 years. I don't know
whether this means a lot to you but it does to me. I still remember the time
when you called me during your first night in Tekong and that meant so much to
me because I thought we were not going to be so close anymore. Somehow or
rather, you bring me back to reality all the time, remind me of the things I
pretend to forget about. You listen to me, silently, while I sobbed, laughed
and screamed. You know, you're like... a blue tack, you just stick, somehow. I'm grateful for you because you were always there even though you always
seem so far away. Thank you for being you.
To you:
People always come forward to ask me these few questions whenever they know that I'm your friend. 'Can intro?',
'How you know her? she's so pretty', 'How is she like?'. And I go, 'Ya, she's
one of my best buds but she's secretly quite bimbo la'. Besides that, you're
one of the most independent young lady I know, and I'm so glad that you're
still so grounded in your family and God. I like how our conversations are
usually pretty formal like how we always begin with a 'how are you'. We don't
meet up the most often but I can tell that we're still pretty much intact. I
like how I know your whole family, excluding your lovely grandparents (I'd love
to meet them one day). And, I really treasured that week when I met your sister
and dad in those 2 consecutive days. Thank you for being the most gentlest,
understanding and grounded friend I have.
To you:
'Eh woman', that's how you begin each text message to me. I like
how you're so chill with me by telling me about your day, your friends, your
family even. I like how we have never spoken to each other in IJC because I thought you were a dick, and now we're
buddies. Its really so precious how you're so family oriented despite all the
nonsense you do during the weekends. I will never forget that Skype session we
had on one random night where we just danced to Marshmallow's remix version of
Hello because at that moment I knew that you will always the friend that I'll
always have fun with. Cheers to more grilled beef together and to more wine sipping sessions with Uncle Mason by the counter. Thank you for being the most fun and comfortable male
friend I'll ever have.
To you:
You win the prize for being the most consistent friend during my
uni life. The person who never fails to reply my texts on time. The person who
listens to my nonsense, reflections, thoughts, rants, judgements, complaints
about Marcus, my eye candy stories, God, bible thoughts, my epiphany of the
day... I told you that we're going to have a blast this semester and yes, we
did have an adventure together. From chilling in your dorm to skipping a
lecture to watch our times, these are the times that I will never forget. I'm
so glad that we can talk and do everything together. Thank you for being my
everything friend. We talk about everything, from studying, to how fashion is a
form of art, to boys, to fulfilling our Taitai dreams. Now that you know my
sister, Wati and Charcoal, please come over to karaoke more often. Cheers to
our London, Taitai, Burberry Trench Coat, God centered friendship that we share.
To you:
'Oh my god, Sarah you embarrass me all the time'. I beg to differ
because you speak, scream, shout and laugh as loudly as me. Thank you for being
my friend since sec 1. We've been in the same class from sec 1 to sec 4 and now
we're still close like no one's business. Now that we're in uni, we still meet
up to study, to sing karaoke or to even have a simple meal. I'll never trade
anything for you because you listen to me, we understand each other pretty well
and you're one of the few people who can really stand my loudness. You're so
important to me to the extent I dare to have Skype sessions with you in the
airport in the open especially when the whole world can see and hear our conversations. I
hope you enjoyed your birthday surprise and my loud birthday song for you.
Thank you for being you. Sorry for not contributing to our sec 1 math project,
hehe.
To you:
My life saving, baking, Memento, partial study buddy. Why didn't I
meet you in primary school? Why did I only attempt to be your friend during the
end of life saving? These are the questions I ask myself most of the time when
I’m with you. I like how we became only became closer after life saving. I
think I bring out the inner bitchiness in you. I like how we still study
together even though our discipline of study are really miles apart. I like how
you regard Charcoal as Cookie’s grandpa because that brings a smile to my face
whenever I think about it. Thank you for being one of the friends who will be there for me. I’ll make sure you check my teeth and tell me that I
need to floss it when I obviously won’t listen. Cheers to more CupcakeJemma videos and even more Christopher Nolan films.
To you:
We don't meet up or talk as often but I know you've got my back. You called me one random night, telling me, 'Sarah, I called you because you're the person that will understand me the most.' And at that moment, I knew that we have established a solid friendship there since we were sec 3. We laugh at the most random things, we make fun of people's boobs, especially those serrated ones. You laugh at me laughing and I laugh at you laughing at me. We always laugh about our Adam Khoo adventures especially when you answered the instructor's question so confidently when it was suppose to be a very somber moment. You never fail to make me smile whenever I'm next to you. I forget everything whenever I'm with you. I miss hanging out with you.
To you:
The first friend that knew how to drive. Or more like, the first friend who taught me how to appreciate alcohol. I really like how our friendship is like now. You're like my big bro that takes care of me, drives me around, bringing me and my sister to eat prata and cake. I like how you and my sis follow each other on Twitter and talk bad about me. I know you've always got my back because I know that you really treat me as your sister. Thank you for listening to my lame stories, to all the childish things I have to say and the poor navigations. Thank you for giving me the logical advice that I always need. Now that you're in Tekong and with the next batch of recruits coming in, I hope you fulfil that dream of being that nice sergeant that you always wanted to be. Thank you for the late night conversations and for the many attempts to have a deep conversation with me by the pool side.
To you:
I like how Uncle Henry and Aunty Flora will vote for me for future presidential elections. I like how your sister wants to take quirky photos like me. I like how I know everyone in your family. I like how your boyfriend pretends to remain calm whenever I scream his name just before he prays for his cell group members. I like how you're one of my best friends. Thank you for the very late night conversations about school and relationships. Thank you for always being there, to be the person that I can really count on. I love how we both talk very loudly and its always a party whenever I'm with you. Thank you for the countless number of hours spent on the phone with me, you're really one of my best friends and I cannot thank God more than enough for you. Thank you for being the 153 girl who were friends with Roxanne Kam.
To you:
Your girlfriend hates me. You ex girlfriend loves me. Its funny how you were my ex's friend and now you're one of my buddies. Many things change but our friendship didn't change. I love how we can just meet once in every few months we still have countless things to talk about. I feel so encouraged when you recently told me about your adventures during army. Indeed, you have grown so much and I am very proud of you. Juggling studies and army wasn't the easiest task but you have overcomed it! I love hanging out with you and I'm so glad that you're my friend despite knowing you from my ex. I look forward to the day I get to play with Jing Yi. All the best for your results and whatever the outcome is, you know that you have grown through this learning experience.
To you:
Thank you for being my leader. Thank you for sacrificing time to give me bible study when we were both sec 3, I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for you. I like how we're very different yet the same, in a sense that, we're a bit like the same kind of people. All the NFJs. We tend to over think, we think too much about the future, we complain about why are guys so simple minded. Basically, we're comfortable with telling each other all these. I like how, you're so far (physically) yet so close to my heart. I miss you a lot, my Avocado Milkshake buddy.
To the both of you:
Thank you for being my Uni buddies. Thank God that we all met during rag. Rag was a total (rag)ret for us ok. Thank you for standing my nonsense during lectures, listening to my rants about people I don't even know. I like how we were so close during exams even though we just met a few months ago. Its really so endearing how we have grown so much together in Sem 1 and submitted reports 5 minutes before the deadline kind of thing. You both are so different in your ways and I really like that a lot. One loves JJ lin and the Sam Willows, while the other one just indulges in our fantasies. Cheers to the many more bidding sessions in Starbucks in Marina.
To you:
I almost forgot you my dearest. My Tanglin, running, paddle pop, bitching about that 16 year old buddy. I like how you're so full of nonsense yet sometimes you're so true and sentimental. I'm glad that we have wiped off the some those negativity in our lives and we have moved on together. I'm glad that its through all these situations that made us closer. I like how I don't like your hair while all the boys love your hair. Please go and cut your hair. Thank you for listening to my rants will we run 5km together. You're someone who I will never trade anything for and thank you for being you. You have the most beautiful heart ever and never let anyone pull you down, alright?
To you:
'Where is ErnesT?', my dad greets you with this questions whenever he meets you and then you'll burst into laughter. Every time I think about our time spent together in the car with my dad singing What do you mean, it really brings a smile to my face all the time. I like how all those funny moments happened with my dad around. Despite all that has happened between us, thank you for staying and being my friend. I'm sorry for the things that were not supposed to happen in the past and I'm glad that everything is okay now. Thank you for always encouraging me to study during the semester and I think I owe that A to you. Oh yea, I like how your boyfriend and I are friends and the three of us had dinner with my dad at my place the other time.
To you:
You never fail to put a smile on my face whenever I meet you. I like how you dance so freely in my house and record yourself singing then letting me hear that recording. You're my JC/Uni buddy and now you're even my Life Saving buddy too. We just had our first sleepover together and I loved how you had to consume the king's cup twice. You make me feel at home. I wish we had spent more time together, laughing and studying. Anyway, you are still left with 7 more semesters to tolerate me. Thank you for being you, girl. Cheers to many more gossip sessions during lectures.
To you:
You need to know that I love you so much even though you're so far away. Your mother, father and sister and your boyfriend loves you a lot. Even God. Thank you for always being there. Despite the time difference, it seems like you're still living in Singapore time. Its so heartwarming to see how you still care for the people you love here and in spite of the distance, you sacrifice so much time and effort to be there for them (Including me). I love how you're so self sacrificial and you motivate me to love without borders. I like how sometimes I still think you're here because your presence seems so strong here. Thank you for being my friend and my cell group member. Continue being the strong person you are and get some sleep okay.
Lastly, to you:
I remember how you didn't want to lend me a correction tape during a Chinese lesson in sec 1. I had no idea why you hated me so much back then, well I think it was my face. (Actually it turns out that most people that used to hate me are now my best friends) Then things started to change because of an MSN Video Call and we started sharing about the types of shoes that we liked. So topic of shoes was always the basis of our friendship. We actually bonded over shoes. Then, letters and more video calls started coming and slowly we became the best of friends. We're so close to the extent my cousins, my aunties and uncles, my parents' company and even angmoh friends know you. I like how you love the sofa in my house and there is a guitar in my house for you to play. And I love how our parents even know each other. Now things have changed because we're both on very different paths and now with a boy boy, things are changing. I don't know whether is it for the better or worse but I'm positive that it will be okay. Thinking about the amount of time we spent on building this friendship for the past few years, sometimes I feel sad that we now don't have enough time for each other and that things will change. But I still want to be in involved in your life, to be the person you always talk about to your friends, to be that best friend who embarrasses you and shouts your name whenever you perform. Thanks for being there for me, through my ups and downs. Cheers to more concerts, to more sleepovers, to more Tung Lok dinners with my parents and to more KTV sessions.
To the rest:
Even if you're not mentioned in this post, thank you for being a part of my life.
