Ten Frens I Can't Do Without.....
Suddenly tot of sthg i read in a mag a few mths ago...e title was sthg like 8 frens u can't do without..n dunno why, jus nw as i was bathing after my tiring run, i jus tot of e close frens i hv right now...my last count, had a total of 10, i'm indeed blessed to hv these frens n i've decided to do an ode to these gd pals of mine, without them, my life wudn't be e same...
1. The Best Fren: Huijuan
Everyone shud hv a best fren. Cuz a best fren is simply...a best fren. Those who hv best frens wud noe wad I'm tokking abt. A best fren ain't jus a convenient bridesmaid candidate when i'm prepared to tie e nuptial knots someday.Juan n I are telepathic..well, almost...it's like we hv antennas perched at e top of our heads which r connected to each other via invisible wires...we finish each other's sentences, share e same ideas n we bitch abt other pple without feeling e least bit of guilt or restraint. Yeap, my lost n found best fren, here's to another decade of frenship!
2. The Candy Bar: Ailian
Lian is one ger with a BIG BIG heart....she's one sweet, generous n affectionate ger who hardly ever loses one's temper n will gif me sweet little pressies to cheer me up. She's oso e kinda fren who wud climb up mounts n mounts of stairs n walk a hell lotta distance jus to ged e milk tea i wan frm e biz ad canteen n then smuggle it into e lib for me. Else she'll be armed with lotsa tidbits to ensure tt I dun ged starved during our mugging period. She's e sha da jie n a nice n sweet candy bar in my life! Lian is sugar n spice n everything nice!
3. The Twin: Shuwen
After 20 yrs of searching, i finally found my long lost twin in e form of tanned, pretty n athlectic Wen...nah, tt's nt to say i look pretty too. We're twins nt in terms of physical appearance but cuz we share so much stuff in common! The same dress sense, equal enuthusiasm in e health n fitness arena n to top it off, we share an undying passion for food too! haha..our motto is to Pig out n Work out! She's my best shopping khaki, onli when i'm shopping with Wen then do e aching joints, painful back n weary legs normally associated with e stigmas of shopping disappear...cuz it's jus so much fun! We both love swimming n tanning n we share e same def of beauty: Tanned, athletic n sexy! Though we hardly exercise tog, we always update each other on our exercise regime n encourage n motivate each other. So, twin, here's a toast to our quest for Fitness for Life!
4. The LightHouse: Sophia
Haha....Soph is a beacon of light, guiding this sotong ship to harbour safely...Sophia, Sophia..wad wud i do without her? Soph is INDISPENSABLE....without her, i wun hv figured out hw to use IVLE, CL RBR neither wud i possesse e knowledge to borrow closed stack bks, i wud hv lost my way ard e campus, failed to register for my modules, gt e exam venues wrong, missed e deadline of my history assignments n so much more. Heck, i might nt even be able to graduate, given e messy tangles of NUS bureaucracy...red tape wud hv done me in sooner or ltr. n given her insatiable thirst for knowledge, her passion for e arts n her discipline in e academics...she's nt onli a lighthouse but a role model as well. I shud be able to dock at e harbour soon, thx so much to tis trusty pal of mine..:)
5. The Witty Counsellor: Nadine
Na's an all-rounder...n she's an all rounder in my life too. She's a veri nice n sympathetic person n tt can be seen in her love for her dog. I feel tt she's a counsellor in my life cuz she's nt onli sympathetic but empathetic too. She doesn't preach, she understands, rather n tt's jus wad i need. We both share e same affinity in e industry of choice for our career: the media industry n i reallie reallie hope tt e 2 of us can cross e obstacles, clear e hurdles, enter our industry of choice n best of all be colleagues in e future! Eh n she has e most contagious laughter i've ever heard n my entire life. She LAUGHS at anything n it's nt jus e normal kinda laughter, it's explosive, contagious n it scares e hell outta u...it's been 6 yrs now n i still jump whenever tt crazy gal starts on her madcap laughter...but keep e laughter gg cuz u jus can't help laughing along with Na when she starts..hahaha..
6. My Jiemei: Weiyi
My best guy fren ever....of those who come n go, he's one of e rare few who stay n stay he will, for life. He's my jiemei, my buddy...a much welcomed touch of testerone to a circle of frens overwhemingly occupied by e female gender. But..he's no testerone at all!! He offers gd, simple advice n more imptly of all, gives me a guy's point of view on certain issues which is extremely valuable given tt men n women do hail frm Mars n Venus n getting an alternative pov frm e Mars planet made me grasp certain perspectives of an issue tt i might hv missed had it nt been for him. He reallie does put in lots to maintain tis frenship of ours n tt's why though we meet onli twice a yr, our frenship is still gg strong n i reallie appreciate his efforts. Boyfrens may come n go but tis jiemei of mine will always be part of my life n to play Aunt Agony to my whinings n complaints. His long time relationship with his gf prevents my faith in relationships frm crumbling totally n deters me frm dismissing all guys as heartless jerks, tt's to say tis single specimen saved e entire male species frm being condemned by me, no mean feat..
7. My Chat Buddy: Yuntian
She's e person i chat most with online n tt's hw our frenship blossomed...crossing over frm e virtual realm into e realities of actual life. Yeah, we're e greatest gossip partners too, mostly she provides me with e interesting tidbits of info which adds much spice n enjoyment to my life. She has a veri mature outlook on relationship stuff too so she's oso e one person i can count on to dispense gd,sensible advice. haha..n she plays a pivotal role in my future happiness too cuz she's one potential matchmaker who'll offer to intro gd, worthy guys of impeccable character to me. My matrimonal chances hinge heavily upon her! haha...so anytime I need some luck in e romance department, she'll be e first i call..:)
8. The Pragmatic: Jiajie
Being a Scorpio, i need jus e right balance to soothe out my mood swings n temperamental tendencies. Jiajie offers just e right touch of pragmatism and alongside with her astute grasp of logic n sensibility, she ensures the pH of my life doesn't depart too drastically frm e neutral 7. She's cool, practical, pragmatic, sensible n jus e perfect person to gif a resounding knock on my head whenever i ged too bothered by e hassles of e everyday routine of life, entangled in e turmoils of relationship woes or despondent abt waning frenships. She's oso one who wud take e active role in initiating meet ups n gatherings n i reallie enjoy those chat sessions with her n cy over our fave teh at e Clementi coffeeshop. We can club tog, go shop, go ktv or jus spend one lazy day tokkin over coffee....n yeah, she's my other twin too, e twin in physical resemblance! She's getting prettier by e day so hope tt rubs off me, haha!
9. The Easygoing Sports Fiend: Caiying
She's mad over bball n though her enthusiasm for tt sports hasn't exactly rubbed off me, her passion for it does motivate me to try to stick to my exercise regime n make healthy eating n exercise a priority. Beside her weakness for cheesecake, she's one healthy eater n inspires me to be mindful of e stuff i put into my mouth, haha.. She's almost always available when i ask her out n tt's sthg i've learnt to treasure. Besides Jimmy, she's e other comic figure in e 2A circles n nvr fails to make us laugh with her antics....there'll always be laughter when cy's ard, tt's for sure..
10. The AntiQue: Yongcen
He's e onli one left of the lot of my pri sch frens whom i still keep in touch with. The one n onli...known him since Pri 3 n tt means we've known each other for 13 long yrs! Gawd...tt sure makes me feel old...we've known each other forever...he bears testimony to those days of geeky, outlandish appearances back in pri sch n though my pri sch was ruled with an iron fist, making my memories of it reminscent of a survivor's tale of a nun's convent, getting to noe n keep tis gd, old fren of mine makes it all worthwhile!
There! e longest time i've ever spent on a single blog entry, done! It's dedicated to all my dear frens n hopefully, it does them justice, do drop me a comment for those in the top ten (haha, like some kinda Star Awards thingy) who happen to drop by my blog! Here's to everlasting frenship n solidarity!

heh thanks for the compliments! you've been a great person to bitch and laugh with too, dont know what i'd do without you in History... :) And reading your blog now does motivate me to exercise more also haha. See ya next wk!
nadine
i'm so honoured to be in your top ten list haha! cheers to our new found friendship! :)
Haha...Im most honoured to be the 1st to be named on the list, spared me the agony of bitting nails as i scroll to find my name (haha in comparison to Star awards hee)Yep, think we read that mag in that cool and hip Jurong East Library last sept hols when we met up to have an intellect gathering haha. The title was the 7 friends woman have in their life or wad. N the fact that i have seen/met the rest of the ppl on the list (except the twin and the antique), makes it more interesting and entertaining to read hee..Come to think of it, i dun even have 10 close friends to start a list...sad...
Anyway today's KTV session was great! minus my unlucky journey there..Its really GREAT to have sang syz's new songs Ben (rocks!) and Wo ye heng xiang ta. Perhaps 1 more thing to add to our common traits is our taste in songs to sing in KTV (the onli OUT singer for me wld be CinDi Wang....still cant stand her..sorry)so it alwayz fun to go singing with u since we can share songs hee.
Looking forward to the next session!
to be continued....
haha...gosh, im definitely honoured to be one of the top 10. Now i have a "star award" in my drawer for me to boast about coz i have got a "I-am-A-Friend-that-My-Friend-Cant-do-Without" award!! Hehe...
Well, you are really a very special friend of mine.
From how we get to know each other and also from how we felt the chemistry flowing when we sat together the first time and also e way we can just blabber and gossip about everything under the sun even when we dont have a single common friend. Its just so amazing how our conversation and shopping can last ...like FOREVER. ha.
Fitness for life? Ha. Definitely! We shall keep it up!
-the twin.
Hahahhaa...thanks for the compliment!! That's a new one I must say. Anyway see u in school!
