16 yrs of friendship aint easy.
and receiving her call ytd gave me a little cheer on my monotonous saturday. how come i make it sound as though i din receive her call for yrs?! hahha. in actual fact, we did on and off chat over the phone to keep ourselves updated. i noe thr is such thing as msn and it is free but both of us nvr like msn chatting. in fact, we dn like chatting via msn or even the phone. face to face talking is the best for both of us. the interaction is totally different. in short, presence is the key for true mutual communication.
msn could be deceiving. it is difficult to tell the true feelings of the person who is chatting with u. in a way, i like chatting on msn when i wann to hide my true feelings. u could be extremely sad and thr is not much of a problem to type 'hahha' in the chats. trust me, it could really be deceiving. i alw do tt to drive ppl away and from prying into my true emotions. unless u choose to be true to the one chatting with u, else, it is difficult to tell. the drawback of virtual instant messaging.
as for the phone, only voice could be heard. i find it pretty difficult to judge too. but, this option is definitely better than IM. at least, voice could be heard. semi-presence, i call it. the drawback of phone calling is when the connection is lousy. cant really hear what the oth person is talking abt. den this would initiate the spark of being infuriated. u got so fed up tt the line keep cutting. and in the end, would just gif up chatting via the phone. aihss.
but, luckily i had a great and fun chat wif selina ytd. i realised tt what i hv been all this while, she is becoming one too i.e hving a gd heart, holding on to the thinking tt what goes ard comes ard. she told me tt she wanted to do more gd deeds, to help oth, to be gd to oth. tt really brought me to the euphoric state.
she has really changed alot. i still rmb hw selfish she used to be bc in primary sch. cant even borrow things from her. the worst part was during our recess time, i rmb wanting to try the fd tt she brought but she said no to me. walao! but now, she even tapao my fav hokkien mee for me! =] not forgetting, she has alw been my driver ever since she got her license. be it, for tuition, movie, outing, gathering or any occasions, she is the one driving me ard til she got so fed up and alw tel me to get a boyfriend to drive me ard. hahha. what more can i ask for? thank yous!!! =]
i am so grateful tt along the way, many friends come and go, and this SELINA nvr leave. i kind of know her since primary 1, 1 nanas was her cls, mine was 1 limau. i know her existence but we did not really make friends till the streaming of cls in primary 4. 4 betik, 5 betik den out of a sudden they change the name to 6 pintar. i was in 6 pintar den to 6 cerdas. streaming was done and undone. all i rmb was i keep changing cls in primary 6. keep changing clicks too.
i used to be vr close to rani at tt time. thinking bc, my close fren in primary 1 to primary 3 was dhanalaktchmi. i hope i spelled her name correctly. i could still rmb her telling me at tt time her daily pocket money was 50cents. when i knew her, she was alr a single parent child. her father passed away in accident. working in the train station. at tt time, i really pity her. i oso rmb telling my mom abt her story. i was still a happy child bc then. i din noe hw to help her but all i noe was to share things wif her. i really wonder hw she is doing now. the last time i saw her was in secondary sch i guess, when i attended a science exhibition in some sch in prai. aft the stupid streaming of cls, we drifted apart.
i sat beside selina for one yr in 5 betik. the front row. right in front of the black board. the memory was kind of vague but i stil could rmb gaik tin and jie ming were both sitting at the end of our rows. yizhen was behind us if not mistaken. diana and kailyn were another side. i could not rmb at all whr rani, supeng, angela, shareena and huee leng were sitting bc then. all i know is, we were in the same cls. our cls teacher was pn lalitha in primary 4, primary 5 and 6 was pn khoo.
pn khoo, the one who taught us maths. a great teacher. she loved saying, lim ping pong and tan toa pui...k, i did not know whr she got those names from but those names really tickled us during maths cls. up til today, i stil rmb her. and during wesak day, i alw see her tapao-ing fd from the same vegetarian restaurant. i used to approach her but the recent one tt i saw her in island glades, i did not do so. i was so shy to approach her, fearing tt she might hv forgotten me already. its embarrassing but come to think of it, i shd hv said hi even if she really has forgotten me. i shd hv let her noe tt she is not forgotten. i blif if i were to greet her tt day, she would be so happy to her achievement tt thr is stil a student remembering her. regret for not listening to my mom.
whatever it is, i am glad tt these people crossed my life. they made me who i am today. special thanks to SELINA TAN who stayed with me for 16 yrs. we shall celebrate when hit 20 yrs!
