I realised last night that I lost a rather dear friend of mine. Not say dear as in real-life dear, but he was important to me for a good period of time. Never met him (online contact), but for 2 years, our daily correspondence was what kept my spirits up since for some strange stroke of luck, despite being half a world apart (literally), our lives seemed so darn similar. Finally, I had someone on my side, seeing my point of view (which no one ever does...pfft.. well, i guess that's what makes my views special). Slowly, that daily correspondence, dwindled to weekly chat sessions online, than to monthly updates until one day, we simply stopped. It's not exactly like we drifted apart automatically, but rather he stopped coming online and i stopped emailing. Until one day (yesterday) when i realised that he had completely vanished from my MSN contact list. Damn. It was strange, the last time we spoke online (a few weeks before christmas last year), because I didn't think that it would be the last time we would chat. Well I am glad that I met him, though this friendship only sustained itself for about 5 years (though sometimes I swear that he's a lil out of this world, imagine a guy being able to endure all my guy-bashing w/o a single complaint, instead, he agreed with me lol). So to that special friend of mine, wherever you are (and you better do good in university): Good luck, and I hope things look up for you. (Take heart in what I say, because my words are prophetic, remember?)
Some of you out there might find it strange, that a feminist like me, who enjoys belittling members of the opposite gender so much can actually find well..male friends. But 17 years of living have actually shown me that erm, most of my closer friends are...MALE. Strange, but true. I have more male good friends than female. *shrugs*
Anyhow, back to my lost friend, thanks for all the letters (par avon lol) as well as the birthday and christmas cards (i still keep them and i still think that the birthday card I got in 2002 happens to be the most beautiful card on Earth, it really is). And thanks for calling my bro "a slob of fat", which led me to modify it and call him "the fat slob" lol. I'll never forget the daily emails, the email quizzes we sent despite replying the same questions over a hundred times just in different forms, the daily world news update when we couldnt find anything to talk about, the discussions on how "patriotic"(you called my patriotism my worst feature back then) we were, and the chats about your sister who you adore and your somewhat dysfunctional family (like mine's that normal) and how the girl you like seems to hate your guts lol. All those talks about doing a "country swap" before you would retract it and say that you wouldnt want me in your situation (sweet). Anyhow, well if one day, should you manage to find my MSN messenger email (which remains unchanged), i'll always welcome you back in, FRIEND =)
I'm a 3rd year student in what is probably the largest autonomous university in Singapore majoring in a Science-related subject (well it sorta IS SCIENCE). I'm known to be introverted, sarcastic (at times), funny when I rant (which isn't a good thing lol) and somewhat of a loner. I miss LA and would move there in a heartbeat :(
