bleah. should have expected it. was coming home in pretty good spirits, only to have it all spoilt when my mom announced that my glass heart-stirrer was broken. wtf really. because she made it sound like it was totally my fault. "Oh, you know your stirrer. its broken. you cannot put it there you know, sure break one. it was bound to happen." Me: "meaning you dropped it la." 'yar lar, but then it was bound to happen." what the lar.
damnit.
plus the NTU letter came in. Interview and test are both on 22nd April. its good its all on one day anyway. But that doesnt make it any less scary. written test, i can just imagine all the angmoh kiang-kias scribbling like siao, and the angmoh juice almost spurting out of them onto the papers. Argh. Plus, SCI's encouraging us to bring along a portfolio. Should i? maybe they'll just think the advertisement drawing board's just plain stupid, and will probably kill all my chances instead.
Anyway, i was actually preparing to write something about all of us when i got home. so here goes. i mean di ros mab and me anyway.
i know its been tough for us to meet up, with IRAS, work, driving lessons, tuitioning, other friends. Unlike the old schooldays when we spent almost all waking hours together in school. But then, its proved to have almost not worsened anything.
we just click dont we. like, there's something about the four of us that just works.
today was so great, laughing over the board games, catching up and grilling ros. just basking in the warmth of girlfriends. so great. really.
all four of us have earned this, this circle of friendship. we've cried a lot, bitched a lot, been unhappy a lot, been laughing a lot, been eating a lot (haha.), been mis-understanding and understanding a lot, all at the same time. two years, and i spent it with you all, never regretting any single moment.
i have four best friends. (plus yiqiao) what more can i wish for.
and ros, HAPPY BIRTHDAY. :) i love youuuuuuuuuuuuu.
and we'll make that birthday wish come through. even though we were all laughing and pretending to be all grossed out. i heard the wish, "that we'll meet up more often, even when we're all old." (gosh, im almost going to cry.) anyway, even when we're all seemingly going in different paths, i have enough trust in the bond. di, dont worry. ill be saving up to visit you in london. and technology is so advanced now, it'll seem like we're almost not apart.
im going to make this long-distance relationship last. we all will.
promise? -wriggles pinkie.
just to end this off on a high note, because it is April 12th and it is ros's HAPPY birthday after all. (hahha) before we know it, we'll all be settling down and this hateful period of change would have passed. and we'll all be doing nicely in our respective universities. with more friends to hang out with and probably boyfriends hanging around.
but then one day we four would gather and realise that nothing'd have changed. some things just dont. and we'll all point fingers and laugh at the silly things we all did when we were in NJC. and we'll get nolstalgic, but not sad, because we've moments to reminisce about, and thats something.
let's not be afraid of growing up,
because we ALL are (growing up). and even though we're walking on different roads it'll in the same direction,
so we can always look across and see us smiling back at each other from all different paths.
damnit.
