The Girls

I am not a person with many friends but i do have some friends who are very close to my heart. I admit that i am choosy when it comes to friends and normally it takes me some time before i can be totally comfortable and not shy away from strangers. There are some girls who are very dear to my heart since my secondary school. We have knew each other for more than 10 years now and we used to spend a lot of time in school having fun, teasing each other, sharing secrets, helping each other with problems, talking about guys, worrying about exams and results, talking about where we will study after secondary, how we want to turn on in the future, our dream wedding, kids, husband, and many more. It seems like all these just happened yesterday. Time really flies.


Kristy and i didnt quite know each other when we were in our secondary. I remember her having long hair, parting in the middle with a glasses hanging on her nose, making her looking like the smart and good girl every parents wish for. Somehow we ended going to Australia to study together and eventually moved in together as well. I cant recall how but she is really a nice girl, always taking care of my with her cooking. I hate cooking! She is really good in looking for the best deal in town so whenever she introduce me to something i will just believe in her in having the best product and best price. We used to party a lot when we came back but then due to work and others we didnt really meet up that much. The irony thing is that didnt keep us apart. Whenever we meet again, we can just sit for hours and talk nonstop on anything. What surprises me is she was the first amongst us to be married. In her wedding dinner, it felt to me as if my own sister was getting married and i wish the best for her. Well done my dear!


On the contrary, i used to be very close with these 2 friends. Bee is the one on the left while Marcia is the one on the right. Bee and I used to be best buddies until form 3. She moved to another school and then somehow we drifted apart and the next time when i met her, we have became strangers. I thought we could go back to what we were but somehow that didnt happen. I do not understand why. Even when she was also in Australia and we used to meet up and go out together, the tightness just didnt happen. Instead i became closer with her sister whom i used to be afraid of when i was younger. Bee is the prettiest girl in our group and whoever guy who can get her heart will be the luckiest person in the world. I kid you not. She is also very capable as well, helping her family to run the business and now she is thinking of expanding the business overseas. As for Marcia, we used to take bus together after class. She is the funniest person ever, always coming out with jokes and ingenious sarcastic criticisms. We used to fight in buses, well not really fight but since she is taller than me, i just find it hard to hit her on the head. There was once when we were having so much fun in the bus that we completely forgotten that there were other passengers and by the time we realised it, we found that we were being watched the whole time, it was funny! We also went to cafes to listen to songs together and even managed to get to know some of the singers. Marcia is a very out going person who is always full of ideas and cant stop traveling. It is with her that we went Singapore, Langkawi and Tioman together. I find her very charismatic and charming and secretive in a good way. She is like a magnet that will makes guys wanting to know her more. That's how charming her personality is.

Sophie on the other hand, is the baby in our group. She is always forgetful and not to mention clumsy sometimes but that makes us being protective of her and worry for her most of the time. Sophie's house is our favorite hang out place for a feast or a girls night out and she has a very handsome younger brother that made us wished we could be younger so that we can go after him, but i guessed 10 plus years apart is just too much to wish for. Of course sometimes she will upsets us especially when she cant make up her mind on things or when she is so stubborn that it took us forever to try to convince her to change her mind but unavail, still we cant be upset with her for long. Before we know, we will be sitting her down again trying to help her get through things. She has the sexiest voice ever that will melt guys and she has the most encounter with foreign guys.


Ching is the most rational and logical person amongst us all and she is the youngest as well. She is smart and funny and whenever we have any problem with our studies, she will be the person we will turned into. She would explained things to us in a very rational and thorough way that makes you think she is a walking encyclopedia. She cooks well as well, learning from her mother and her dad's pickiness on food. She is also the one who introduced me to my first job. Career wise she did very well too until she decided to quit and took the chance to pursuit her MBA. Now she is waiting to be granted a place in the China University which is one of the best in world. With her intelligence i am sure she can do it. If she does go over this coming October, that means we will have a place to bump in Shanghai!

Girls, all the best in whatever you want to do. I cherish all the time we had and though we do not meet as often now but i am happy that we can still stay close at heart. The beauty about our friendship is we never have compete against each other but instead chose to be there for each other at all times. And the best thing is whoever has a baby in the future will definitely has a lot of god mother who will spoil the baby so much with loves.
