Today is Esther's birthday. I tried to do a post in Chinese but um. that proved to be beyond me so I've scraped it.Here is my English rendition: In sec1, she came to my class to see me because we were from junyuan primary school at some point in time, although we had never met prior to that. I don't remember much from that occasion. When we were fifteen, I msn-ed her. Not really to chat, but to ask her what homework there was, because she seemed like a conscientious person who'd give ma a reliable answer. In our late fifteens, we sat together and had desk-mate fun. She boxed me and called me her punchbag(well, her idea of fun anyway hahahah), while I was of course, my normal same and demure self. We'd do weird things in class together like do sword fights with rulers under the table, sometimes I'd poke her with my pencil, and at other times we'd just scribble on each other. Sometime then, she also told me that she didn't like people talking to her just to ask about homework. Um. Oops? Then later, in sec4, we did a scrapbook for sheng han, our mutual friend from primary school. Cue strange poses along the school corridors and even stranger body contortions to fit the frame in the girls' toilet. Plus some HTHT on random staircases, some wave jumping and much squealing when class outings brought us to the beach. I'm not sure what happened, but between these mundane activities, I had somehow made her a part of me, and now I cannot imagine the future without her. We're not high maintenance friends; we could go months without talking. Yet there has never been awkwardness when we do interact again after a long break. We don't ever need to make small talk. We could just go straight into the HTHT if need be. On other occasions, we could also just be silly and not do any deep talking. It''s almost surreal to have a friendship like that. She's the only person whom I would sometimes text in Chinese to, and the only person whom I'd spend hours singing with at a void deck or on a random bench; the only person with whom I have match ing jewelry with , and the only person whom I'd skinny dpi with in the ocean hahaha. I have the most photos with her because she's the only one I truly camwhore with (camera shy isn't an excuse to her), and oh, I am also acquainted with her soft toy family. In these years, she has always been there for me. Back when I worked at a cafe and was down , she'd turn up at the cafe with her mother (oh I love her mother!) to support me, although the cafe items were rather pricey, and there was a one-order-per-customer rule. She and her mom would also say the funniest things to cheer me up(eg. Offering to pour water into fake potted plants of those who bullied me as revenge).We'd sing the most silly hi5 songs together and even made a recording of us dancing to Animals by hi5 too. She's a really good person, yknow. Her heart is a gem and she is such a sincere person. There is so much to say and yet so little to write, because it's so hard to translate everything into text. I just wna say that in life, few things are as precious as friends, and those who make the cut are there to stay forever. So happy birthday to the most beautiful person I know. No camera can capture what I see in you, Esther. |
