a special friendship.

when you're going to start a new internship term for the very first time in your life in 5 hours time and yet you realised you have just spent the past few hours drinking and clubbing, you will kinda be hesitant as to whether you should actually go to sleep now lest the 'snooze' function on your phone becomes your next best friend. but that's surely not the special friendship i'm talking about.

a self-confessed mild conservative (but no where near a prude), i was and never am a party animal. but i'm pretty open to drinking and partying as a form of winding out, though sometimes i seek it as a form of liberation. anyway, that's besides the whole point.

at this point of time, i really feel very glad to have my first best female platonic friend - qh. and i think our friendship has really transcended beyond that of normal friends, be it of the same or different gender. so much so that we have grown to take care and be there for one another when the need arises. she has become my image consultant, which requires not much deliberation since it was never top on my agenda list. while i've become her listening ear and nanny, to keep her in check especially when she drinks. little would i have imagine our friendship will have developed to such a stage whereby we can be reiminiscent of our past, conscious of the present and hopeful of the future. and that she would dig out my unglam track record by telling others i tried to ask her out to donate blood for a first date (quit laughing).

and this would be the kind of friendship i believe will stand the test of time and distance, especially so as she'll be travelling to the states for studies. as much as i would like to have this special friend with me in sillypore, i believe the world is really our oyster and that we should seize the opportunity when it comes or so i thought - carpe diem.

to my special friend: hope we both can learn to be more aware and accquainted with our true selves and that we can find fulfilment and happiness in whatever we undertake. indeed, our friendship will last beyond mere ocips and for the many years to come! treasure the few months ahead to catch up before we won't be seeing each other for quite some time ha.

take care and avoid feeling spaced out, every so often.
