I think I've mentioned umpteen times about how I'm selective when it comes to choosing friends and etc. , but I've never really said much about the friends I've always had.
The first post I crafted was speaking of my grades and mostly me (duh) , but really, I couldn't have achieved my grades if not for the support of my friends, especially my two favourite girls in the world, Qy & Jt.
I've known these two since our secondary days and I'm so glad we managed to stick through JC. I haven't done a dedication in a gazillion years - too lazy, too busy , but here's a quick one.
To JT :
Hello babe, it's 2013! We managed to successfully get into the same JC, conquered A levels, and now, same university! Do you remember how this used to be our dream, and we'd say how we hope we can get into the same uni if not the same course? Well here we are, going to the same uni and even better, the same faculty! I really thank my lucky stars that even though we drifted and I even deleted you off Facebook end sec3/4 , we got back together (sounding gay) through the adversity we faced in JC. I can't say enough, how glad and lucky I am, to have you by my side during the last two years. With your never-say-die and hardworking (at least compared to me) attitude, you cheered me on and sometimes, forced me to study when I got lazy or started to procrastinate. I remember with bittersweet memories, the times we spent in Bedok Library studying, how we would sneak in all our food and made friends with the security uncle, and also the times we stayed up late studying in school, and that one time we took a break and lied down at the grandstand , blasting songs and talking about post A life and it started to drizzle. And also the time we got so bored of studying, we went out and filmed a Chubby Bunny video - still in my phone and cracks me up everytime I watch. And not to mention, the countless long texts we've exchanged through the months leading up to A's , just spurring each other on. It was an arduous journey, but it would have been worst without your companion. ♡
To Qy :
Hello my babygirl! I can't even think of how to start on this because you're such an integrated part of my life , since 4 FUCKING YEARS AGO. We've been classmates since 2009 and also, the best of friends. And since 4years ago, you've always been the one friend that's constantly nagging at me to stop playing, stop eating, stop watching TV, stop staying up late, stop drinking coffee at wee hours, AND JUST START DOING WORK. You're always the one that would ring me up/ text me just to tell me which section I should study,what to look out for, which practice question to do. And when I told you I didn't have time (forever last minute studying - typical me) , you would start telling me the keypoints and fiercely tell me to remember. And me being me, I would sometimes get annoyed with you, but I can't say enough how touched I am , to have such a loving friend like you. Like honestly, who in the world would be as gracious as you, and care as much as you do about me and therefore my grades, to fucking call/text me and tell me the important parts to study. Most people would just be glad they found those parts and keep it to themselves so they have an edge during exams - competitive world! But not you. You ALWAYS shared everything with me. You would even get angry with me for not studying because you feel that I have the potential to achieve good grades and I remember how you told me when people asked about me, you would tell them I'm actually very smart and things like this (despite of my grades). And you're forever telling me postitive stuff about me - like my pimples and my fats , and when needs arise, honest opinions because you truly care. You're just everything a person needs in a friend , even though you do have your certain bad points - like how you can be so obstinate and too hard on yourself, but nobody's perfect and I hope you know that I love and care for you as much as you do for me, and I really want you to be happy too. ♡
Life would be perfect if we got into the same school, but dang it, we'll always be BFF - you and JT are for keeps. I'll travel over to NTU and you can come over to NUS. You said it yourself, best friends grow separately without growing apart.
PS. We haven't met these two months and I'm sorry I haven't had alot of time for you or when I did, you didnt, but our (almost) daily texts got us through. Can't wait to see you next week!!! :*
To the both of you, I think Jt's tweet to me some time back sums up my thoughts best :
Of course, it wasn't just the two of you that held me through. There was also the countless nights I stayed late at VJ with Martin to study, racing to the T-block classrooms so we beat the rest and get the one with aircon, putting our orders for Thaipan and forever having someone taking away my Black pepper chicken fried rice, watching funny videos on Youtube, and mostly ending the long nights with me nagging at him to walk faster as we leave, and also him jumping at the sight of cockroaches near the bus stops.
And also, the long days/nights I spent at Bedok CC/ library/ Macs/ LongJohns/ VJ with Yuquan. I think most times I just spammed him with my incessant whining plus alot of 'are you listening , you idiot/asshole/bitch/butch/Shrek/Fiona' , and also frowning and nagging at him to study because miraculously , this person is even lazier than I am and studying with him is never productive (but we live near so it's always convenient to meet) . Then towards the A levels, him cursing left and right, then suddenly singing out loud and telling me he's been practicing some songs, which is quite entertaining, oh and once he even started to do a monologue in attempt to cure boredom. Best part of our study session's we always end up having nice ideas for lunch/dinner and I guess it's nice to study with him because we're the same kind of learner - the last minute + curse alot kind.
Ps. Speaking of which, I've known him for the longest, since Sec 1, and he's never been vulgar till late. I think my cursing has rubbed onto him HAHAH. Yq if you're reading this , I'm sorryyyyy.
So yea , I'm really thankful for everything I've had in life - the people, the friends, the lessons I've learnt and I'm really happy with how my life has turned out so far. Really psyched for university to start and a new chapter of my life to unravel.
Pps . There's still quite a few people/friends I didn't mention in the post because those I mentioned were those whom I spent the majority of my time in JC/studying with. But nonetheless, thank you each and everyone of you that's been through some shit with me. May our paths cross again in future.
