Friends

What would I do without them...
They are the ones that will stick with you through thick and thin,
I treasure each and every single one of them!

These were my first two close friends during my secondary school days, we used to walk to and back from school every day during form 1 & 2. I got to know Leslie first as we were in the same class in 1S5 and I remember that he joined that class just 1 day after I did sometime in February. It so happened that we both just switched over to Taman Desa school from different schools. It's also a coincidence when we found out that His dad knew my mum...some landlord-tenant thingy. As for Han Sheng, I knew him through Leslie. It was because all of us live quite near to each other... and so Leslie suggested that we should walk back together since that's the case...everything else developed from there! If I were to pen half the things we did together...I dun need to sleep tonight liao! :p

And then, there were these two guys! We were really close during our last year of secondary school..Form 5. They were my tuition kakis! We attended Pn. Sin's 'private' Chemistry tuition class together with Lesley and Abigail at Lesley Cheong's place and would also go to Kasturi in Petaling Street for tuition together! Tuition would never be the same without them! It would be over stressful and boring without the lame jokes we crack at each other, or imagine no one to have lunch with when you're at petaling street alone...luckily, thanks to them I don't have to endure that(I did actually, when they both ponteng)!

Clockwise from me: Shaun, Sharon, Sally, JJ, Michael, Armuz and Chun Yeong

Next up are my college-course mates. Unfortunately, I was only able to be coursemates with them for that 1 semester that I was in Sunway University College, or else we would definitely have gotten even closer. But we still do meet up now and then for birthdays. We are still trying to plan a trip together to Sabah sometime next year probably...hopefully everything works out well. Wish them all the best in their studies!

Ryan Woon(what a poser!)

Now to this fella! My mentor, friend and brudder! If we were blood related, It would be 'brother', but since we were SK Brudders related...hence the different spelling. :P This guy...if you just got to know him, your first impression of him would be...simply bad la! He smokes alot! I have to bring with me an oxygen tank everytime I meet up with him......ok, I'm over exaggerating here! If anything, he's someone that most people would want as a close buddy. He's always willing to listen and advise and help. The best thing is, he does all of these with an ever willing and open heart, I could share stuff with him and not worry about him back stabbing me....great friend! However, he just got married recently, so less time to spent with me :P , haha...no la...I'm happy for him, now go make some Ryan Juniors!

Shoban Joshua

Last but not least, this dude here! We got to know each other when we were in Form 2 as prefects. One thing I remember clearly...In order to entertain each other during duty time, we would do role playing. Rather childish, but during those days, it was fun! I would be Sultan and he would be Bendahara...everytime we spoke, we would address each other by patik and beta. Really funny stuff thinking back! But again, we only got to know each other really well in Form 4. I was seated beside him in class and we got to know each other so well in a short span of time - by chatting non-stop during classes. We were as transparent to each other as glass can be...no need to hide anything from each other...haha....except our nakedness la! :D We were like twins I'd say! I bet you readers can't tell if we had the same skin colour! Our birthdates are also just 1 day apart, 6th and 7th December 1988. Even in exams, if one of us does badly, the other will too...for example, Add Maths mid term exam 2004: I got 6 marks, he got 8! Both record lowest marks for us! But hey...we were proud to have experienced getting such low results at least once in our lives ehh...right Shobs? Shoban was also the one who introduced me to Christian music...We've attended most Planet Shakers and Hillsong concerts together ever since. We still met up rather often even after we graduated from school until recently when he decided to leave for London. He got a scholarship from Limkokwing to further his studies there...so, as a result...Shaun lagi lonely! haha....Wish you all the best la dude...feels rather different without those mamak sessions...but on a brighter note...we still get to skype...and it's cheaper too, at least no need to purposely order roti naan and teh ais!



To a few more other guys whom I didn't get to mention, please don't feel upset, I've not forgotten you since all of you played a huge part in my life, I'm not able to write about you because I don't have your picture, but rest assured, you're always in my thoughts!



Thanks so much! I Love ya'll! God Bless You!
