Another long lost friend found. Well she found me first actually. But it doesn't matter.. We found each other! How cool is that. We lost contact when she changed school during our primary 4... or was it primary 5?? hmmm.... I'm not quite sure. It has been more then 10 years ago. Partly it was my fault for not trying to find her after I finished school. I guess both had became busy with each others lives.


When she dropped me an email telling me who she is, and asking if I still remembered her, nothing rings a bell. I was like... errr... Fadzilah? Who?? I did once had a best friend who changed to another school. I can't remember her name tho. But when she sent me a photo of her, I jumped in joy. It is truly my long lost best friend from primary school. Judging by her looks, she hadn't change very much. Then flashes of memories replayed in my mind. All the fun we had, all the mischiefs we made when we were kids.... ahhh... precious memories. I'm really glad she found me after all these years.

A great friend is like a good bra

"a great friend is like a good bra... hard to find, supportive, comfortable, always lifts you up, never lets you down or leaves you hanging and is always close to your heart."

It was a week ago when my best friend Syarifah messaged me asking if I had received any card. A card which should have reached my mail box (which is not exactly a mail box, it's a table where they dump every mail on. I'm living in a hostel, so go figure..haha) 3 weeks ago. Somehow the card reached me today. I wonder it it had gotten lost in the thick Russian snow LOL!!

As I set on my bed, still shivering a little from the cold... just got back from class, I opened the card. Started reading the long message inside.

Tears was already streaming down when I reached the 3rd sentance. And as I read along, flashes of the past replayed in my mind. It was like watching a happy+sad+funny+heartwarming movie. I read it once. And then again. And another time. I think I'll read it again before going to bed today. And the days ahead too.

I had a wonderful life living with my 3 bestest best friend. And the 2 years of my college life was the best moments in the 23 years of my life. I remembered all the fun we had together. All the laughter we had. All the singing, dancing, fooling around. All the new things we tried. I also remembered all the bickerings, the bitching, the misunderstandings..... the bitter part. And if I could turn back in time, I wouldn't change a thing. Even the bitter moments seems like a sweet one. And somewhat a laughing matter now. And because we got through the bitterness together, we became wiser, our friendship grew stronger. We forgave and forget, and we stayed best friends.

At times I felt that destiny has not been on our side. Destiny was what brought us together. But it also broke us apart, seperated us in space and time, even sent me and Dila to different continents! I was the first to leave. And only God knows how hard it was on me when I was all alone, far away from my 3 favorite girls. And how I cried every night, blaming fate and blaming myself. But I grew stronger, wiser, independent, capable.... And I know all of us did.
Now each of us is leading our own different lives, having different sets of new friends, being in different surroundings. But my only hope is that we'll never ever forget each other.

To Syarifah, Dila & Ikha.....
You girls made me who I am today. I love you girls a lot. Missing you girls terribly now.

Let's make a promise that we'll always be in each others' hearts and minds, even just for a second of everyday.

Happy Birthday Nadia Anis!!!

To my girlfriend Nad.....

Do you still remember how we met? We were roomies. And you were the first person who came to talk to me. Then we became friends and got close with each other. And like other people, we had our ups and downs. We did had quite some fights and misunderstandings back when we were in school. But I can't remember all those. The only moments I do remember was the fun times we had together. You were and awesome person, and you still are.

So I hope you'll have a joyful birthday this year. Happy 22nd Birthday!!!

Truly,
-Amy-
