to Yixian =)



(not sure why im dedicating this whole post to Yixian.. but well.. just had some thoughts going through.. so..)

when i saw this photo on Yixian's blog, it definitely brought back much memories.. =)

when we were still in sec 4, back to 2004'.. i cld still remember vividly, how Amy and me tried hard to steal this photo he kept in his school diary. cause we were thinking of printing this photo on his 16th birthday cake! we had sucha tough time cause he wld constantly take out this photo to show us how cute he thought he was.. haha! i forgot how we managed to take it off his diary for a few days while sweet secrets deli shop used the photo to print on the birthday cake itself..

yesh we did managed to surprise him on his birthday during the recess break.. we brought in the cake and the whole class sang to the tune.. we saw him smile, and the Usual Bunch felt glad that he liked the little surprise as much as we did put in effort in preparing it..

however, Amy and myself got a little affected when we saw him got SOOOOO happy when some frens of his (from other classes) did nothing but only wished him "happy birthday"

and we just wondered.. "wth! we do so much he only smile.. others remb this birthday he got so damn happy!"

haha childish eh? dun blame us, we were only 16 back then! perhaps still in the growing-up-stage.. secondary school life.

both deep thinkers, Amy and I started figuring out reasons to the cause of it.. perhaps we're close to Yixian, thats why he expects all these frm us.. so there wasnt any surprise at all?

slowly, with time, through the many many rain & shine we've been through together as a grp, he realised we're always by him. he realised he shouldnt take things ard for granted. he realised how impt it is to treasure friends around him, to focus on the friends who cherish him as much.

" You know, my cousins used to tell me that its very hard to make friends in the
working life. Well, to a certain extent that is DAMN true... its so hard to find
someone to who really cliques with you to the extent you can even be without
your pants around them. Lucky for me, i have "the usual bunch" with me to stick
through thick and thin. Its so comforting sometimes just thinking abt it. We
were secondary school friends and they matter alot to me. Im not the type that
always say "i love you" or "i miss u" but that does not mean that i dun care. Im
just shy. " -Extracted frm Yixian's Blog

at the very beginning of this friendship, i admit, i had many doubts to it.. on whether he's a good enough person to put in my effort in making this friendship works.. he's never been someone i wld imagine being close to. but somehow or another, the world just happens to made things the way it shld be..

its impossible to put all that we've been through as friends into words. both the good and bad, i'll remember them all.. the good, i'll smile to them, while, for the bad, i'll keep them in mind, we are true friends who survived through them all..

Yixian,
through the years.. you've been a changed man. trust me. its for the better.. though now, at times i still can't figure out whats in ur mind.. im glad im more patient than before to hear u out.. all willing to give my time to you.. i know you're a complicated person at heart.. there's alot going through ur mind at many times.. u may think i will never get whats in u. yup, perhaps i'll never, but no harm knwing i'll always be willing to give it a try to understand u..

and.. do keep in mind, its not just me alone.. tgt with the Usual Bunch.. =)

remember? "True friends part in distance but never at the heart"

i'm glad all that we've been through brought us here today, im glad we're a group of true friends who tells each other what we need to hear and not what we want to hear.

im awaiting more to this very very special bond =)
Xie Xie Ni Jie Mei! for all you've given to me, taught me along the way.. its lessons that cant be seen but deeply felt, right here.. in my heart. and do knw, without you.. we will never be complete as the Usual Bunch..



i think we'll be meeting soon ya? ;) hope ive not been too mushy! =P

Good night world..

Yours Truly,
Gek
