girlfriends

      "Best friends hang tough. They don't come with ‘Fragile’ stickers and are not easily scared off, or ticked off. Best friends help you out whenever they can, make time for you even when they don't have any, and trust your friendship enough to say ‘No’. Best friends are cross-your-heart-and-hope-to- die, good-times-and-bad-times, borrow-anything, tell-you-everything, trust-you-with-their- deepest-darkest-secrets, always-and-forever friends"

i don't really have that many friends. it's a choice you make because i'm so darned lazy at socializing...

having more than a handful of friends is tiring....the just meeting people part- HATE small talk.
they'll have their emotional tsunamis, need mental and emotional support, the need support during depressions, retail therapy and bad hair days.

i have a handful and i don't have the space to have much more. i miss them all the time and they deserve as much time and attention as my bf (or one of them will feel jealous of the other). sharing and caring.

they're also the people that stand by you through mistakes, break-ups, fights with your mother and tell you up front whenever they think you're screwing up.

i believe that the people you meet in life, the ones that leaves an impression are supposed to teach us something, everything that happens is an experience and and experiences can never be bad.

for me there's the kluang gang, well, not gang since they're mostly friends with me and not so much with each other.

david : hmm...goes into the have known each other FOREVER and basically knows all of my weird flaws. since he moved to australia haven't been that close but he is and always will be my best friend. nobody understands me quite the way he does and nobody ever will.

lynn : the girl who taught me to swear. 'nuff said.

yus : the ex thing aside. yus is surprisingly loyal and gives lectures on everything. but sometimes he gives good advice and he understands in an annoying way first bf normally do.

the langkawi clan are the girls i'm probably most close with; that's what happen when you room with people for 2 years in the most agonizing time of your life. i was so miserable when i got there but who would've thought that this bunch 
of misfits would make life so much more liveable?

baity : the personable one of the group. baity koya tak hengat and she's the friendy one. she'll 
follow any phase she thinks is cool but gawd she's merepek funny. she's so unsaveble now though.

ima kartun : she's pretty not grounded but with ima, her heart's in the right place and you just know that inside she's got depth.

amie lepu : amie's gonna save my soul. also, the one person who's picked up all the insane habits i tried to brain wash the others with : reading heavy literature, movie cakap2, not judging a book by its cover and analyse all of life.

Sure, you're supposed to have total recall of who won the Battle of Hastings and what motivated Hamlet. And probably you should be able to label all five Great Lakes. Perhaps you can...Perhaps it's easier to remember that first kiss. Or the time you and your friends couldn't stop laughing in math class. Or your locker combination or cafeteria mystery meat or the scintillating scent in the air when you-know-who glided past your desk... Or maybe it's easier to remember the thrill of passing the final or the fun of the last homecoming game or hugging your best friends in the world goodbye and knowing you'd be in touch forever... But still, wondering just a little...Will we always remember?
