I would like to say something about this friend of mine~~~

Our paths first crossed each other when we were in Primary 5, and were classmates since then till Sec 2. We were streamed into different classes in Sec 3, but we still hanged out together as we went for tuition together and we also had the same CCA.
For some periods of time, we weren't that close as we had our own clinque of friends and also subsequently I opt to have my tuition individually then in a group, so we hardly met.

She is one friend whom I have that was a brave, upright, stood up for her friends, smart, creative....though rebellious but has changed for the better..

Remembering those times when we roamed around my house area during the monsoon season, wading our way through those knee-height floods.....
Feasting on cinnamon rolls, during our secondary school days, that was the IN thing to eat...
Going late for tuition cause we went to have teppan yaki at J8 food court for lunch...
Writing letters to each other, though we were just a few seats apart in class, and subsequently when we were in different classes, we still did so....
Teasing each other's crash at tuition and giving those guys nicknames so that we aren't making things to obvious at the tuition class.....
She was my matchmaker of my 1st relationship....
Hanging out in her house, listening to her compose and sing her own songs...

But we drifted from each other's lives after secondary school, only knowing that she went to polytechnic and was doing pretty well over there. Subsequently heard that she went overseas for her undergraduate studies, and I felt very happy for her that she has made good for her future..Mum knows her too, and felt really happy for her.. :)

Occassionally I heard about her from my friend, who is her church mate..
Recently, found out that she came back S'pore for good and I dropped her a message..
She invited me to her birthday celebration this week, I felt elated and overjoyed...most heartwarming was that she remembered a birthday gift that I got for her!
I had made plans to get her that same present for her birthday this year, and I even went to dig out our neoprints and scan them and made into a college, wanting to make her a birthday card with that..that was the only pictures I had taken with her...

Only to find out that she over the week was in trouble, having life crisis, with family and friends...and now I can't contact her...Never did I know that she had experienced and gone through so much since our secondary school days, when I thought all things was going well for her...Feeling worried and guilty for not being there for her during those periods of time when we were hanging together..Didn't show her much concern and lend her a listening ear..Talked to Mummy today about my friend MIA, and mummy didn't feel good after hearing too..she was a good girl and friend to me and yet such things have happened to her

Now all I wish for is her to be safe and sound and that she would contact me soon....and that she will have a great birthday this year and from then on, everything in life will be good and happiness showered upon her. :)

I know that God will watch over her.

p/s Friends are important and so do cherish them, be it by fate or chance that our paths have crossed. So I hope that the friendship of SEC will survive and if in trouble, don't keep it to oneself, do pour those troubles out and with so many of us, the burden will be shared and lighten!
